Software
iOS & Android App Development
Give customers and teams a useful way to work on iOS and Android. JWM plans, designs, and builds mobile apps around a clear business task, with the APIs, backend, and ongoing support needed to connect the app with your existing systems.
The opportunity
Start with the job your app needs to do
An app should make an important task easier, such as submitting requests, reviewing records, completing a booking, or keeping work moving away from a desk. We define who will use it, where it will be used, and which features belong in the first release.

Service detail
From the first workflow to a supported app
App planning and user experience
Map the core task, user roles, navigation, and key decisions before building. Prototypes help your team review the experience while changes are still easy to make.
Native or cross-platform development
Choose between platform-specific development and a shared-code approach based on device features, interface requirements, integrations, and how the app will be maintained.
Device features and mobile workflows
Plan camera, notifications, location, or offline behavior where they serve the task, with clear permission prompts and a practical experience when conditions change.
APIs and backend connections
Connect sign-in, permissions, records, and business rules with your website or existing software. Define the API and backend work alongside the mobile interface.
Testing and accessibility
Test key tasks on real iOS and Android devices, including screen sizes, permission states, and changing connections. Review text scaling, labels, and screen-reader navigation.
Release guidance and ongoing support
Prepare release builds, store materials, and review information. Plan operating-system updates, defect fixes, and the next priorities with your team after launch.
A closer look
Connect the mobile experience to the whole system
The screen is only part of the product. We plan authentication, data access, API behavior, and the handoff between your app and your business tools. Testing includes core tasks on real devices, changing network conditions, and accessibility checks, so the release plan reflects how the app will actually be used.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Have a question that is not covered here? Ask it below and we will get back to you.
Do we need a mobile app or a responsive website?
Start with the task. A responsive website may be enough for information and simple forms. A mobile app can be worth considering when repeat use, device capabilities, or offline workflows are central. We help define the right scope before development.
Should we use native or cross-platform development?
It depends on the app. We compare platform-specific development with a shared-code approach against the experience, device features, integrations, budget, and long-term maintenance needs. The choice follows the requirements.
Can the app connect to our website or existing software?
Yes, where those connections support the workflow. We review existing APIs, sign-in and permission rules, and data access, then define any additional backend or integration work the app needs.
Can you help with App Store and Google Play releases?
We help prepare release builds, store listing materials, test feedback, and review information. We also clarify account responsibilities and update plans. Approval and publication remain subject to each platform’s requirements and review.
What happens after the first release?
We plan updates, defect fixes, operating-system changes, and the next priorities with your team. Support scope, ownership, account access, and handoff expectations are defined as part of the project.
