Planning a mobile product?
Tell us what people need to do on a phone, and where they will be when they do it. We will say whether an app is justified.

Mobile applications with a foundation you can maintain
A mobile app is worth building when the phone offers something the browser cannot — the camera, location, offline use, notifications, or simply a place on the home screen. Moskon builds mobile products around those reasons, rather than around the idea that every product needs an app.
Service definition
What mobile development covers
Mobile development covers the interface, the offline and sync behaviour, the device integrations, the release process and the store submissions. The interface is the visible part and usually the smallest one; what makes a mobile product hard is everything that happens when the connection drops.
When an app is the right answer
- People need the product in places with poor or no connectivity.
- The job depends on the camera, location, notifications or another device capability.
- Usage is frequent and habitual enough to earn a place on the home screen.
- An existing app was built quickly and now nobody wants to change it.
What you get
- A mobile interface designed for one hand, one thumb and constant interruption.
- Defined offline and sync behaviour, rather than an error screen.
- Device and API integrations that fail gracefully.
- A release process into both stores, with the review requirements already handled.
Approach
How the mobile work runs
We design for the interrupted case first — the tunnel, the one-handed grip, the notification that arrives mid-task — because a mobile product that only works in ideal conditions works nowhere. Builds go onto real devices from the first week, since a simulator will not tell you how something feels in a hand.
Typical mobile deliverables
- Mobile UX
- Application development
- Device and API integration
- Release preparation
Technology
Cross-platform or native
Cross-platform is the default when both platforms need the same product and the device integrations are ordinary: one codebase, one team, half the maintenance. Native earns its cost when the app leans hard on platform-specific capability, sustained performance, or the newest operating system features. The call is made per product, with the trade explained, rather than decided in advance.
- Cross-platform development
- Offline behaviour
- Notifications and device APIs
- App store release
- Mobile accessibility
Collaboration process
From context to a release people can use
01
Discover
Understand the business, the people using it, and what the current system already decides on your behalf.
02
Define
Agree the scope, the architecture, the priorities, and what a good outcome will look like.
03
Design
Design the flows, the interfaces, and the reusable system that keeps them consistent as the product grows.
04
Deliver and improve
Build, test, launch, measure — then keep improving what the data and the people using it point at.
Mobile applications: common questions
Do we need an app, or would a mobile website do?
Often a mobile website is enough, and it is cheaper to build and free to distribute. An app earns its cost when it needs device capabilities, offline use, or the habit that comes from a home-screen icon.
Can the app connect to our existing systems?
Yes. Existing APIs are the normal case. Where they were designed for a web client, we identify what mobile needs differently — payload size, offline tolerance, retry behaviour — before the build rather than during it.
Who handles the app store submissions?
We do, including the review requirements, the store metadata and the first release. Publishing under your own developer accounts is the recommended setup, so the listings stay yours.
