Mobile App Development
Do we need to persuade you about the simplicity of using our services on a mobile phone or tablet for your customers?
Hybrid Applications Development
A hybrid mobile app is like a Swiss Army knife- it blends elements of websites and apps, built for use on a particular platform or device. It's developed using web technologies but packaged to run on smartphones like a regular app. This approach allows developers to create one app that works on both iOS and Android, saving time and resources.
We chose to focus on developing mobile applications as an increasing number of clients seek this service from us. When combined with the websites we create for them, it completes their comprehensive digital presence portfolio.

Mobile applications for customers
Our experience thus far has involved two primary categories of mobile applications: those utilized by end-users and applications designed for promotions or internal purposes.
Perhaps the biggest challenge in the first type is creating an application that works equally well on the hundreds of different devices in the hands of your clients. Whether it's an Android mobile app or an iPhone app, you've fortunately come to the right site and the right developers. Just ask us to get in touch with you.
Mobile applications for promotions
If you're looking for a partner to develop a tablet application, a fun game for your promoters, or a reliable app connected to a remote database, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Chances are you've already encountered our work in a Sofia mall or business park. Surely, the girl who stopped you had a broad smile because she knows the software won't let her down :)
Mobile application design
Design as a whole is becoming increasingly important, and it is unacceptable to invest resources and effort in something created with poor taste. Mobile app design, in particular, is even more crucial, as it caters to a young, modern audience with advanced smartphones..
There are many design firms, and perhaps even a colleague of yours understands design. However, there is a huge difference between designing a brochure, a website, and a mobile app.
Truly good mobile app design combines well-structured information architecture, navigation, functionality, usability, or, in other words, user experience. You can count on us to involve you in every stage of development.
Mobile application administration
In most cases, mobile applications require content administration. Our vast experience in building administrative systems for client websites will be readily available to you, and you won't need special skills to handle the maintenance.
Mobile Applications Development Price
To ask "How much does it cost to develop a mobile application?" is like asking, "How much does it cost to build a house?" Both depend on thorough planning and well-defined client requirements. We can assure you of an excellent price-to-quality ratio and the most detailed offer possible. Just send us a request for a mobile application development quote.
What is a web application?
A web application is an online tool or game that you can use in your web browser without downloading. It helps you do specific tasks or enjoy entertaining content on the internet.“
The development of technologies enables us to create interactive web applications that perform much more complex tasks than traditional websites. The possibilities are numerous. Contact us for more information.
THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS FROM OUR CLIENTS
How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?
The cost of developing a mobile application depends on its complexity, features, and the platforms it’s built for. Typically, projects start from a few thousand euros and can reach higher values when specific solutions and integrations are required.
At Studio Kipo, we prepare a custom offer based on each client’s needs, defining in advance the exact requirements, design, API integrations, and maintenance. This ensures that you pay only for the features you truly need while getting maximum value for your investment.
For which platforms can a mobile app be developed?
The mobile applications we develop can be built for iOS, Android, or both platforms simultaneously. We use frontend technologies such as Ionic and Angular, which allow cross-platform development from a single codebase, and Laravel for the backend. This provides our clients with a stable, scalable, and efficiently developed app that runs smoothly across all devices.
How is app maintenance ensured after launch?
Maintaining a mobile app is crucial for its success. At Kipo, we provide continuous monitoring, updates, and technical support, including adjustments for OS changes or the implementation of new features. We can maintain both the backend server side (Laravel) and the app itself, ensuring speed, stability, and data protection.
What features should a mobile app have?
The best mobile apps combine a user-friendly interface, clear navigation, and real value for the user. Essential features often include registration, notifications, offline access, chat or contact forms, integrations with external systems, and analytics. For each project, we at Studio Kipo analyze the business goals and select only the functions that will bring real results and improve the user experience.
What are the most common mistakes in mobile app development?
The most common mistakes include the lack of a clear goal and strategy, overly complex design, insufficient testing, ignoring UX principles, and unplanned maintenance. Many businesses also fail to plan for scalability or future feature expansion.
At Studio Kipo, we rely on systematic planning, testing, and UX optimization to avoid these issues and ensure a successful product from the very first version.
Developing an app - where to start?
The development process begins with a clear idea and purpose- what problem the app solves and who it’s intended for. The next steps include preparing a project brief, defining functions, designing, and creating a technical specification.
At Kipo Studio, we consult clients from the very first stage: we help choose the right technology (Ionic, Angular, Laravel), plan UX/UI design, and build a prototype before full development begins. This ensures that the final product precisely meets the business needs.
What is a mobile app?
A mobile application is a software program designed for smartphones and tablets that provides specific functions – such as shopping, booking, news, communication, or service management.
Unlike websites, apps offer better performance, access to hardware features (camera, GPS, notifications), and the ability to work offline. At Kipo, we develop applications that combine high speed, excellent UX, and a robust backend.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app?
The average development time for a mobile application is between 4 and 6 months, depending on its scope. Simpler apps with basic functionalities are developed within 2 to 3 months, while more complex projects with integrations, custom design, and backend logic require additional time.
At Studio Studio, we divide the process into several stages: planning, design, development, testing, and publishing. This approach ensures transparency and precise progress tracking.
What is the process of developing a mobile app?
The development process at Studio Kipo includes several key phases:
- Analysis and consultation: defining goals and target audience.
- Planning and prototyping: creating UX/UI structure and functional plan.
- Development: coding of frontend and backend components.
- Testing and optimization: ensuring stability and security.
- Publishing in the App Store and Google Play.
After launch, we also offer ongoing maintenance so the app can evolve over time.
What technologies do you use for mobile app development?
We use Ionic Framework and Angular for the frontend, enabling the creation of modern, cross-platform interfaces that work on both iOS and Android.
For the backend, we use Laravel - a PHP framework that provides reliability, security, and easy integration with external APIs and databases. This combination ensures fast development and excellent performance of the final product.
How to prepare a good project brief for a mobile app?
A well-prepared brief saves time and prevents errors during development. It should include:
- a description of the target audience and the main purpose of the app;
- desired functionalities and priorities;
- example references;
- requirements for design, integrations, and deadlines.
If you lack experience, Studio Kipo can assist in preparing full project documentation that turns your idea into a clearly structured implementation plan.
Is it possible to create a mobile app for free?
Yes, it’s possible to create a mobile app using online builders and free platforms, but these solutions come with serious limitations. They often lack customization options, don’t provide access to full code, and aren’t suitable for professional business use.
If you’re aiming for a professional result, a custom-built solution from a team like Studio Kipo is the more reliable choice. We guarantee stability, security, solid performance, and scalability for future upgrades. Free solutions are best suited for testing or educational purposes only.
Developing a website and mobile app - when is the combination needed?
Many businesses choose to have both a website and a mobile app to reach a wider audience. The website serves for online presence and SEO traffic, while the app provides convenient access, loyalty, and direct communication with users.
Studio Kipo can create an integrated solution where the website and app share the same database and content, powered by a Laravel backend. This way, information is updated simultaneously across all platforms.
