Mobile and desktop apps
Two separate native apps mean double the cost and double the maintenance — unnecessary for most products. I build apps in React Native + Expo: one codebase, two systems, fast updates without waiting on a store review.

Definition
React Native with Expo lets you build an app for iOS and Android from a single codebase — genuinely cutting cost and time by roughly half compared with two separate native apps, at a quality users can't tell apart in typical use.

03 / When it applies
When it makes sense — and when it doesn't
A mobile app makes sense when the user comes back regularly (bookings, workouts, jobs) or needs phone features: push, camera, offline. If a responsive site is enough, you'll hear that from me at the diagnosis, before you spend an app-sized budget.
