Apps people actually keep using.
App development is the design and build of mobile applications for iOS and Android. Brenvard develops native and cross-platform apps for startups and smaller businesses, from the first version to launch and ongoing improvement.
In short
Native or cross-platform?
Native apps are built separately for iOS and Android using each platform’s own tools. Cross-platform apps share one codebase across both. Native can offer the deepest device integration; cross-platform is often faster and more cost-effective to build and maintain.
We help you choose based on what the app needs to do, your budget and how you plan to maintain it, and we explain the trade-offs openly.
For official guidance, see Apple’s App Review Guidelines. At Brenvard, app development is part of our wider Technology & Digital services.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we often get.
Should we build a native or a cross-platform app?
It depends on what the app needs to do and your budget. Cross-platform is often the practical choice for a first version; native can make sense when deep device features or maximum performance matter.
Do you publish the app in the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare and submit the app, and help with the store listings and review process.
Can the app connect to our website and systems?
Yes. We build or connect the backend so the app works with your website, customer data and business systems.
What happens after launch?
We can continue to maintain and improve the app, or hand it over with documentation to your own team.
Connected services
