Mobile app development services

Next Era Solutions builds and supports iOS and Android apps for companies in the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe. Our engineers work remotely across Europe. Pick the situation closest to yours: you need the first release of a new app in the App Store and Google Play; your clients keep phoning your office to ask where their case stands; your staff need an app for the till or the store floor, or your app runs in a car; your product team has a roadmap but not enough senior mobile engineers.

Six tiles for the kinds of work on this page: new apps and MVPs, client apps for law firms, Android for tills and shops, apps in cars, senior engineers for your team, and a free audit of a live app.

Our services

Android app development

Native Kotlin apps, from phones to POS terminals and car dashboards. For apps that must talk to hardware, run on a fleet of store devices, or work without a connection.

Android app development →

Mobile team augmentation

Senior Android engineers who join your team and your process. For product teams with a roadmap that outruns them, or one missing skill: POS hardware, Android Automotive, loyalty and ordering.

Mobile team augmentation →

MVP app development

A new app from idea to the App Store and Google Play. For founders and service businesses with an idea, a budget and no mobile team. Discovery, design, build and release. After discovery, a written proposal with an estimate; development is billed hourly.

MVP app development →

iOS app development

iPhone apps in Swift, through App Store review and after it. For apps that need Apple system features such as Screen Time, notifications and subscriptions, or an iPhone app that lags behind Android.

iOS app development →

Android POS development

Android engineers for POS vendors and retail-tech teams. Scales, receipt printers, barcode scanners, several registers on one store network, and checkout that works offline.

Android POS development →

Mobile CI/CD and test automation

Repeatable builds, tests on real devices, and release gates. For teams whose releases depend on one person, or whose automated tests nobody trusts. Built so your team can run it.

Mobile CI/CD and test automation →

Free mobile app audit

A free, high-level look at the app you already have. Store reviews, store rules and crash data, then a 20-minute walkthrough and a plan you keep. Or a free consultation that ends in a requirements document.

Free mobile app audit →

Legal tech app development

Client apps for law firms and legal-services companies. Case tracking, document upload, payments, lawyer comments and push updates, on iPhone and Android.

Also on request

We do more than the services above. These have no page of their own yet, so each line names the work behind it. Ask about any of them on a call.

  • iOS apps in Swift. Merezha Prava's iOS app, and the Swift Screen Time part of Rethought (a Flutter app).
  • Mobile CI/CD and test automation. A full CI/CD pipeline for MobileVision, a clinical Flutter app: we added the missing tests, made them run on BrowserStack for both platforms on the triggers the client needs, and the pipeline builds the apps and sends them to the stores.
  • AI features: vision and OCR. Automatic background removal in Shkaf; label OCR and replacement suggestions in the In-Store Picker. Chat-based AI features are in design with clients and not yet shipped.
  • Android Automotive and AOSP. AM/FM and HD Radio for an in-car system, under NDA.
  • Cross-platform apps. Flutter is our default where one shared codebase suits the product. Rethought and Gamble Count are our Flutter builds. We have also built Kotlin Multiplatform projects. → Rethought, Gamble Count
  • Launch and support. Testing, store release, fixes and updates after launch.

How we engage

Two ways to work with us. They differ in who runs the work day to day.

We build it (project)Our developer in your team
Who runs the workWe do: scope, design, build, testing, releaseYou do. Our engineer works inside your team
Who sets prioritiesAgreed in the scope; changes are discussed and re-estimatedYou
How the price is setA ±15% estimate before discovery, then a fixed price after a short discovery call, or time and materialHourly, at the engineer's rate: about $30–$90 an hour, depending on level and experience
How fast it startsDesign first, so you see screens before the full buildWe propose an engineer within 1–3 working days of your request
Best whenYou need a finished app, not extra peopleYou have a team and need more senior hands
ExampleTravel Security Kit (native Android in 6 months); Merezha Prava (first MVP in 3–4 months)Dutch Bros and Red Robin (one developer in each client's team); Enterprise POS (1+ year)

For agencies and consultants: refer a client, sell app development under your own brand, or bring us in as your delivery partner. See the partner program

05

Pricing

Our rates are per engineer, about $30–$90 an hour depending on level and experience. We work time and material, at a fixed price, or with our engineers in your team. The cost calculator uses one blended planning rate to give a first range: a planning figure, not a single price. There is no minimum project size. What moves the price most:

  1. The feature list. It is always the biggest lever.
  2. Platforms. Two fully native apps add about 70% compared with one shared codebase.
  3. Design depth, from a template to a full design system.
  4. Regulated sectors such as legal, finance or health, which add security and compliance work.

06

How a project starts

  1. A 30-minute call. You describe the app or the gap in your team. No preparation needed.
  2. A short discovery call, then a proposal: a fixed price or time and material. You get it in writing before any work starts.
  3. Design comes first, so you can react to real screens before you commit to the full build.
