What kind of mobile app does my business need: native, hybrid or PWA?

If your app needs the camera, GPS, reliable push notifications and a listing on the App Store and Google Play, a hybrid app built with Capacitor is the right call: one codebase for iOS and Android with access to native features. If your customers only need to browse, order or book from their phone without downloading anything, a PWA ships faster and costs less. Fully native apps in Swift or Kotlin are worth it for games, real-time video or very specific hardware.

An app nobody uses costs more than having no app at all. Most abandoned apps fail for the same reasons: they were designed as a copy of the website, they ask you to sign up before showing anything useful or they load slowly on mobile data. So before we write code, we define the specific task the app will handle every week: reordering, booking, checking a balance, logging a visit or clocking in. If there's no repeated task, we'll tell you and recommend something else.

As a mobile app development company based in Torreón, Mexico, we build loyalty and ordering apps for restaurants, booking apps for clinics, field apps for sales reps and technicians (they work offline and sync when the connection comes back) and mobile portals for industrial distributors' customers. We use Capacitor to publish on iOS and Android from a single codebase, and Supabase or your own API for data, sign-in and real-time updates.

We handle the whole journey: screen design, development, developer accounts, Apple and Google review, analytics and notifications. We meet in person in Torreón, Gómez Palacio and Lerdo, and work remotely across Mexico, the US, Canada and Latin America. If your app needs an admin panel or complex business rules, we build it together with the custom software behind it, and if you just need a fast mobile presence, we start with a PWA.

01Who it's for

Sound familiar?

  • Restaurants and chains with regulars

    Pickup orders, a points program and promo alerts straight to the phone, without paying a third-party platform a commission on every order.

  • Clinics, practices and salons

    Appointments, reminders, basic patient info and prepayments in an app with your brand, connected to your calendar.

  • Sales reps and field technicians

    Order taking, service orders with photos and signatures, GPS-logged visits and offline work.

  • Companies taking their system mobile

    Your ERP, CRM or internal system already works on desktop; we give it a lightweight app for the tasks done on your feet or away from the office.

09FAQ

What people ask us

How much does it cost to build a mobile app?
Cost depends on the number of screens, whether you need an admin panel, the integrations (payments, your current system, maps), the sign-in method and whether the app has to work offline. A simple PWA costs far less than an app store app with payments and notifications. After a 30-minute call where we review the task the app has to solve, we give you a fixed price by phase.
How long does it take to publish an app on the App Store and Google Play?
Building a business app takes 8 to 16 weeks. Google's review usually takes one to three days and Apple's one to five, although a first submission may require changes to the privacy policy or the description. We prepare the listings, respond to reviewer feedback and publish under your company's account.
What is a PWA, and how is it different from an app store app?
A PWA (progressive web app) is a website that installs on the home screen, partly works offline and can send notifications, without going through the App Store or Google Play. It's faster and cheaper to launch, but on iPhone it has limits on notifications and hardware access. For many businesses it's the right first step before an app store app.
Will the app be in my company's name?
Yes. We publish with your company's Apple and Google developer accounts, and the code, the database and admin access are all in your name. If you don't have accounts yet, we walk you through opening them; Apple verifies companies with a D-U-N-S number, which takes a few days, so it's best to start in the first week of the project.
Can you build an app that works without internet?
Yes. For field teams we design apps that store orders, visits, photos and signatures on the phone when there's no signal and sync them with the server once the connection is back, resolving conflicts if two people edited the same record. It's common for sales reps driving rural routes or technicians working inside industrial plants with no coverage.
Do you build apps for companies outside Torreón?
Yes. Our base is in Torreón, Mexico, where we meet clients in person, but we build apps for companies across Mexico, the United States, Canada and Latin America. Meetings happen over video, test builds go straight to your phone and the team works in English and Spanish, so your app can be bilingual from the first release.
What maintenance does an app need after launch?
Every year Apple and Google release new OS versions and require app updates to stay in the stores. You'll also want to fix reported bugs, update libraries for security and ship improvements based on real usage. We include 90 days of support and then offer a monthly maintenance plan with hours for improvements.
