Mobile & web apps
iOS, Android and web apps built from prototype to store release, integrated with your systems.
We build the whole app: a clickable prototype to validate the flow with users, development with continuous integration, release on the App Store and Google Play, and evolution after launch. Published cases include MOB's shared-bike app in Portugal and Wooshy, a training app with an AI coach.
Benefits
- A clickable prototype before any code is written

- Integration with APIs, payments, IoT and wearables
- Release on the App Store and Google Play
- Maintenance and new versions after launch
- A web admin panel for the people running the app

Frequently asked questions
How does Cortex IQ develop a mobile app?
- Development starts with a clickable prototype to validate the flow with users before any code is written, continues with short deliveries with CI/CD and testing on real devices, and ends with release on the App Store and Google Play. After launch, the app evolves with new versions driven by real usage.
Is the app native or cross-platform?
- It depends on the product: one codebase for iOS and Android when it fits, native when it is needed. In both cases the app integrates with APIs, payments, IoT and wearables, and comes with a web admin panel for the people running it day to day.
Which apps has Cortex IQ published?
- Published cases include MOB's shared-bike app in Portugal and Wooshy, a training app with an AI coach. Both followed the same process: discovery and prototype, development, and store release, followed by maintenance with error monitoring, OS updates and new features after launch.
