HBK SOFTWARE LTD
Your customers and staff spend much of their day on their phones. A well-made app puts your service one tap away, works with the camera, location and notifications, and can keep working when the signal drops.
HBK Software builds mobile apps for iOS and Android for businesses in Liverpool and across the UK. We use Flutter, Google's toolkit for building natively compiled apps from a single codebase. One codebase means one team, one set of features and one round of testing for both platforms, so you reach iPhone and Android users without paying for two separate apps.
Most apps also need a back end: user accounts, data, payments and an admin area for your team. We build that too, usually as a Laravel API, so the app, the API and the admin panel are designed together and fit each other from the start.
Not every idea needs to be in the app stores. If your users mainly sit at a desk, or only visit occasionally, a responsive web application may be cheaper to build and easier to update.
An app earns its place when people use it often, need it on the move, or rely on notifications, the camera, location or offline access. We will help you decide honestly, and if a web application is the better fit, we build that instead.
Flutter compiles to native code on both platforms from one codebase. You get one set of features, consistent design and one round of testing, which usually means a faster launch and lower running costs than maintaining two separate apps.
It depends on the number of screens, whether the app needs its own back end, and which device features it uses. We scope a focused first version and give you a written estimate after a discovery call.
Yes. We prepare the store listings, handle the review process and set up testing tracks so you can try each release before your users do. We can publish under your own developer accounts, so the app stays in your name.
Yes, where it makes sense. We can store data on the device and sync it when the connection returns, which is especially useful for field and staff apps.
We can. Both stores require regular updates for new operating system versions, and we keep the app, its dependencies and its back end up to date, alongside new features as your needs change.
