Overview

What we do

NovaRadix has been building mobile apps since 2012. We don’t only build for clients: we publish our own apps on Google Play, so we handle the whole lifecycle ourselves, from store listings and policy reviews to ad consent, crash reports and yearly API upgrades.

Every project starts with the same question: native or cross-platform? We recommend native Kotlin or Swift when an app needs peak performance or deep hardware access, and Flutter when one codebase for Android and iOS saves you time and money. You get a straight answer and the reasons behind it.

Native Android

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps that follow Google’s current architecture guidance.

Native iOS

Swift and SwiftUI apps for iPhone and iPad, built to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.

Flutter cross-platform

One Dart codebase for Android and iOS, with native plugins where a feature needs them.

App UI/UX design

Wireframes, clickable prototypes and a design system your developers can build from.

Backends & APIs

Secure APIs, admin panels, push notifications and Firebase or custom Node.js backends.

Launch & support

Store listings, policy declarations, releases, crash monitoring and OS-update maintenance.

Proof

Apps we build and publish ourselves

Native Kotlin apps with on-device AI and GPU effects, and a Flutter app, all designed, built and released by our team.

Our process

How your project runs

  1. 01

    Discover

    A free call to understand your goals, users and budget. You get a written scope and estimate.

  2. 02

    Design

    Wireframes, then a clickable prototype you can try on your phone before we write any code.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints with a working demo every week, so you always know where things stand.

  4. 04

    Launch & grow

    Store and server launch, monitoring and ongoing improvements based on real usage.

FAQ

Mobile App Development: common questions

How much does a mobile app cost?

It depends on the features, the number of platforms and the design work involved. After a short call we send a written estimate broken down by feature, so you can see where the cost goes and decide what belongs in version one.

How long does it take to build an app?

A focused first version usually takes 8 to 16 weeks. We ship in short cycles with a demo every week, so you see the app working long before launch.

Should I build native or with Flutter?

Flutter is usually the best value when you need both Android and iOS. Native is better for heavy graphics, on-device AI or deep hardware integration. We’ll recommend one for your specific app and explain why.

Will I own the source code?

Yes. You own the code, designs and store accounts. We sign an NDA before you share your idea and hand over everything at the end of the project.
