OCTIS HK • Mobile app development
We build once for iOS and Android, submit to both stores and stay on it after launch, or tell you honestly if a website would do the job for less.
A mobile-friendly website needs no store review and no forced updates. An app earns its place for push notifications, offline use or a home-screen icon people open often. We ask which one you need before quoting.
One codebase builds iOS and Android, so there is no separate iOS team, no separate Android team and no second budget for the same screens.
Every version has to clear Apple's and Google's review before a customer can download it, and it is not guaranteed to pass first time. We handle the submission and any resubmission as part of the build, not as a separate charge.
Phones get a new operating system roughly once a year, and an app that is not rebuilt against it can break or be pulled from the store. OS updates, store policy changes and fixes are part of the engagement.
A custom app can read and write the same account that already holds your payments and customer records, instead of keeping its own copy that needs manual syncing.
Bookings, updates and reminders a tap away, so customers come back without having to look you up again.
Ordering and loyalty that live on the customer's home screen, not in a link they have to find again.
Push notifications, offline use or a home-screen icon people open often are things a browser tab cannot do well.
From the first idea to an app people can download, you receive:
HOW IT WORKS
Bookings, ordering, loyalty, whatever the real job is, not a feature list copied from another app.
Agreed once, before the build starts, not billed by the hour. We design the screens and show you a prototype.
One codebase for iOS and Android, with the review handled by us. Store review can add days once the build is ready, and Apple and Google set that queue, not us.
OS updates, store policy changes and fixes are part of the engagement, the stage most quotes leave out.
If you mainly want to look legitimate and be found on a phone, a mobile-friendly website does that for a fraction of the price. Tell us what it must do and we say which one fits.
Custom software, an online store and managed IT support come from OCTIS's own IT team.
WHAT YOU BRING
Your brand, your Business Registration number and the real job, which we turn into a scope and a fixed quote before any build starts.
It is not instant. Store review can add days once the build is ready, and Apple and Google set their own queue.
An Apple and a Google developer account are needed either way, whoever builds the app.
Often a website. If the goal is mainly to look legitimate and be reachable from a phone, a mobile-friendly website does that without app-store review or a forced update cycle, and costs a fraction as much. An app earns its place when you need something a browser tab cannot do well: push notifications, offline use or a home-screen icon customers open often.
Mainly what the app has to do. Bookings, payments, offline behaviour, push notifications and integrations vary far more between projects than a single web page does, which is why app builds are quoted per project. We scope the real requirement first, then agree a fixed price before the build starts.
It is not unusual. Both platforms review against their own guidelines and can ask for changes before approving, on their own timeline. We handle the resubmission as part of the build, not as a separate charge, but we do not control how long a review takes.
Yes, if it is built to. A custom app can read and write the same account that already holds your payments and customer records, instead of keeping its own copy that needs manual syncing. We build every app this way, on the same account as the rest of your setup.
With most developers, usually yes. OS updates and store policy changes keep coming after launch, and someone has to keep resubmitting the app or it can be delisted or stop working without warning. We include that in the same engagement rather than leave it as a separate thing to notice and re-commission.
