Mobile Apps
Ship on the App Store — not just on TestFlight.
BrandForge designs and builds mobile apps for operators who need real users, real reviews, and real-time features — CarSpotLive is the proof.
Mobile apps fail in the store listing, not in the Figma file. BrandForge mobile work covers design, engineering, backend hooks, and the unglamorous submission process — certificates, screenshots, rejection fixes.
CarSpotLive is the reference: mapping, listings, accounts, and a live App Store URL you can install today. We know the difference between a demo APK and a product someone pays for.
Stack choice is honest. Cross-platform saves budget when UI is standard. Native or hybrid approaches are quoted when performance or OS integrations demand it. We do not force React Native because it is trendy if Flutter or native Swift/Kotlin fits your deadline.
API design is part of mobile delivery. If your backend does not exist, we scope it — or integrate with Firebase and third-party services when speed beats custom servers.
Web3 mobile — wallet connect, transaction signing, network switching — was delivered on the SUI rebuild with a four-person team in two weeks. That is the ceiling pace with clear scope and daily coordination on Discord.
App store compliance, privacy labels, and crash reporting are line items in the quote, not surprises at submission. BrandForge names the studio in project docs; mxstermind.com handles larger product teams and multi-quarter roadmaps.

Questions operators ask
Does BrandForge publish apps under my developer account?
Yes. You retain the App Store and Google Play accounts. We build under your credentials or transfer the bundle ID process we document — you own the listing and revenue.
How long does a typical mobile app take to build?
Focused MVPs often land in six to ten weeks. CarSpotLive-scale scope with maps and real-time features took longer. Your quote includes a week-by-week milestone map, not a vague quarter.
Can you maintain the app after launch?
Growth Engine retainer covers ongoing mobile iteration. Smaller bug-fix windows are included in the initial quote. Ad-hoc support is available on Discord between retainer months.
Do you build for both iOS and Android at once?
Most quotes include both platforms when UI parity makes sense. Platform-first launches are scoped when budget or validation demands one store first.
