// how it works

Our process, step by step

A clear track from first conversation to live delivery — the same chart style we use across Qaribuhub builds.

1 Phase 01 · Discover

Discovery call

We talk through what the app needs to do and who will use it — customers, staff, or both.

2 Phase 02 · Design

Design

We map out the screens and user flow so the app is simple to use, even for first-time smartphone users.

3 Phase 03 · Build

Build

We build the app, including the admin dashboard you'll use to manage what's inside it.

4 Phase 04 · Launch

Launch & support

We submit the app to the Play Store and/or App Store and stay on to fix issues and add features.

Android and iOS app development with military-grade precision

We are among the top mobile app developers in Nairobi, Kenya — numerous apps shipped, tens of thousands of downloads. See pricing for packages, or ask us for a custom quote when your brief needs it.

Both platforms, built properly

Android and iOS are first-class — native Kotlin/Swift when the product needs it, or Flutter / React Native when one codebase for both stores is the smarter path. We clarify roles, offline needs, push, payments and store accounts before a line of production code ships.

Typical stack

Kotlin/Java or Flutter for Android; Swift/Flutter for iOS; secure REST/GraphQL backends; Firebase or custom auth; optional WhatsApp deep links and M-Pesa for in-app payments. Every flow is implemented with the same military-grade precision we bring to field and fintech builds.

Delivery process

Prototype → MVP → pilot → store release → hypercare. You get source ownership, admin tooling and a release checklist for Google Play and the Apple App Store.

// common questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you book a call.

01 What kinds of apps do we build?

We develop both Android and iOS apps. Common categories include finance and fintech, school and campus apps, delivery, ride-hailing, shopping and ecommerce, games, dating, utility tools, chat messaging, social media, accounting and POS, buy-and-sell marketplaces, health and fitness, food ordering, booking and appointments, real estate, e-learning, logistics and fleet tracking, loyalty and rewards, event ticketing, news and media, and job boards. Our expertise means we can take on virtually any kind of app — if you can describe it, we can scope and build it.

02 Do you build for both Android and iOS?

Yes. We develop Android apps, iOS apps, and cross-platform builds (Flutter or React Native) when one codebase for both stores is the smarter path. We'll recommend native or cross-platform based on your audience, timeline and budget.

03 What's the difference between native and cross-platform apps?

Native apps are built specifically for one platform (Android or iOS) and tend to run slightly smoother. Cross-platform apps, built with tools like Flutter, work on both platforms from one codebase, which is usually faster and more affordable. We'll recommend the right approach for your budget and goals.

04 How long does it take to build an app?

A straightforward single-platform app usually takes 4-8 weeks. Apps for both Android and iOS, or with more complex features, can take 8-14 weeks.

05 Can the app work without internet?

Yes, where it makes sense we design apps to store data locally and sync once a connection is available, so the app doesn't become unusable on a weak signal.

06 Where can I see pricing?

Check the latest figures on our pricing page. Published packages are a starting point — for many projects it is better to consult us for a custom quote that matches the exact features and scope you need.

07 How do I find the best mobile app developers near me in Kenya?

Start with a shortlist of mobile app developers in Nairobi or wherever you're based, then check their published case studies, ask for references from businesses like yours, and confirm you'll own the source code and app store accounts. Qaribuhub is among the top mobile app developers in Nairobi, Kenya — a team that has shipped numerous Android and iOS apps with tens of thousands of downloads across Kenya.
