Mobile app developmentservices we offer

From focused MVPs to customer-facing and operational products, we build mobile apps around the needs of teams in Nepal and international markets.

Android app development

Android apps built with Kotlin or another suitable stack, with device support, store requirements and ongoing maintenance considered during planning.

KotlinJetpack ComposePlay Store

iOS app development

iOS applications designed for the Apple ecosystem in Swift or another appropriate stack, with agreed device and store requirements in mind.

SwiftSwiftUIApp Store

Flutter development

Cross-platform applications built from a shared codebase when that approach suits the product, team and required device features.

React Native development

React Native apps that can share patterns or business logic with an existing React web product where it is practical.

Cross-platform apps

Android and iOS applications planned around a shared codebase, native needs and the long-term maintenance model.

eCommerce mobile apps

Commerce apps with product browsing, account flows, checkout and suitable local or international payment integrations.

Business management apps

Mobile tools for CRM, field teams, inventory, approvals and other internal workflows.

Custom app development

Mobile products designed around a specific customer journey, business process or device capability.

The Himalaya advantage

Why partner withSoft Himalaya?

We start with the people using the app, the task it needs to support and the systems it must connect to. The technical plan follows from those decisions.

Discuss your scope

  • Fast performance apps

    We establish relevant performance targets, test important user flows on agreed devices and use findings to guide improvements.

  • Scalable backend systems

    We choose APIs, data stores and hosting based on the product’s users, integrations, support requirements and expected usage.

  • Modern UI/UX design

    We design clear user flows, readable interfaces and touch-friendly controls that support the tasks people need to complete.

  • Planned integrations

    We map data flows for CRMs, payments, notifications and operational systems before choosing the integration approach.

  • App store optimisation

    We can prepare accurate listing titles, descriptions, screenshots and privacy information to support store submission and discoverability.

  • Ongoing support options

    Support can include updates, compatibility checks, monitoring and planned improvements under an agreed scope.

Release review

Measure the product you built

Performance and security cannot be represented by one generic score. Results vary by device, operating system, connection, integrations and the completed feature set.

Performance and security

Set targets, test and improve

We make technical choices with the product’s users and operating conditions in mind, then report actual findings rather than blanket speed, uptime or compliance claims.

  • Performance testing

    We profile relevant user flows on agreed devices and connections, then prioritise improvements that affect real use.

  • Security practices

    Authentication, access control, data storage and API communication are designed around the app’s risk and requirements.

  • Release-size awareness

    We review libraries, images and app assets so download size and update behaviour are intentional.

  • Store submission readiness

    Privacy information, listing assets and store policies are reviewed before submitting the completed release.

Project estimates

Scope first, then pricefor the work you actually need

Mobile apps vary in product design, platforms, integrations, testing and ongoing support. We provide an estimate after understanding the scope instead of publishing generic package prices.

MVP or focused app

A focused first release for one main user journey and a clearly limited feature set.

  • Product discovery
  • Core screens and flow
  • Testing plan
  • Release preparation

Customer-facing app

A fuller mobile product with account flows, APIs, integrations and operational requirements.

  • Android and iOS planning
  • Backend and integration scope
  • Analytics and support plan
  • Store listing assets

Custom platform

A bespoke mobile product with multiple roles, workflows, data systems or specialised integrations.

  • Architecture review
  • Role and data design
  • Phased delivery plan
  • Maintenance options
Common questions

Frequently askeddeveloper questions

Questions about frameworks, payment API hooks or store publishing rules? Here are the answers we give most often.

The cost depends on the product scope, platforms, user roles, integrations, design work, testing and support needs. We first define the work, then provide a written estimate with the agreed milestones and deliverables.

Working together

A clear product delivery relationship

We do not use unverified client quotes, anonymous ratings or invented app results. These are the working standards we aim to maintain.

Product decisions in writing

We capture the agreed user journeys, features, integrations and acceptance criteria before building them.

Reviewable milestones

You see the relevant work at planned points, so feedback can guide the product before release.

Measured release readiness

Testing, device compatibility and store submission work are reported from the completed product, not predicted with generic scores.

Useful ownership handover

The agreed source code, credentials and operating notes are transferred to the people responsible for the product.
