Mobile App Development
iPhone, iPad and Android apps your staff and customers will use.

HELLO PEOPLE builds iPhone, iPad and Android apps for Australian businesses, from customer booking and member apps to field service, inspection and delivery apps for staff. It is an Australian team with no offshore development, based in Perth and working with businesses in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and across Australia. It quotes one fixed price before work starts and hands over the code and store accounts in the client's name.

Start with the job the app has to do and who will use it: your customers, your staff in the field, or both. HELLO PEOPLE writes that down with you in a short scoping stage, agrees which phones and tablets it runs on and which of your systems it connects to, then quotes a fixed price for the build. You test working versions on your own phone every two weeks, HELLO PEOPLE handles the App Store and Google Play submission, and you own the code at the end.

A mobile app is the better choice if people need it offline, need notifications, use the camera, GPS or a barcode scanner, or open it many times a day. A web app is usually enough if the tool is mostly used at a desk or in a browser. HELLO PEOPLE gives an honest recommendation either way and does not push the bigger build.

Most Australian business apps need both, because customers and staff carry a mix of iPhones and Android phones. HELLO PEOPLE usually builds one app for both from one set of code with React Native or Flutter, which costs far less than two separate apps. A fully separate iPhone or Android app is only recommended when the app depends on something one platform does much better, such as a rugged Android scanner.

HELLO PEOPLE builds in all five and picks by fit, not habit. React Native suits most business apps and shares code with a web app; Flutter suits apps where one branded look matters; .NET MAUI suits businesses already on Microsoft; Ionic turns an existing web app into a store app; and a progressive web app is the lightest option when nobody needs to install anything.

Microsoft stopped supporting Xamarin in May 2024, so a Xamarin app can no longer be updated for new iPhone and Android versions. HELLO PEOPLE moves Xamarin apps to .NET MAUI, the replacement from Microsoft, screen by screen, keeping the business logic, or to React Native or Flutter if that suits the app better.

It depends on the number of screens, the types of user, whether it runs on iPhone, Android or both, and which systems it connects to, so a general figure would mislead. HELLO PEOPLE starts with a free 15-minute call, scopes the app with you and then gives one fixed price for the whole build. There is no hourly billing, so you know the cost before development starts.

A focused app such as a field tool, a booking app or a companion app usually takes 10 to 16 weeks with HELLO PEOPLE. Larger apps with several types of user, complex features and connections to other systems take 16 to 24 weeks, released in stages. You have working test versions on your own phone from around week four or five.

Yes. HELLO PEOPLE prepares the store listings, screenshots and privacy details, signs the app and takes it through Apple and Google review. Test versions go out through Apple TestFlight and Google Play testing first, and releases are rolled out in stages. Version updates after launch are handled the same way.

Yes. HELLO PEOPLE connects mobile apps to Xero, MYOB, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Simpro, ServiceM8, Deputy, Stripe and many other platforms Australian businesses use. What staff or customers enter on the phone shows up in those systems without anyone typing it in again, so the app becomes another way into your existing data rather than a separate one.

You do. HELLO PEOPLE publishes the app under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, in your business name from day one, and hands over the source code, designs and data. There are no licence fees and no lock-in, so you can move to another developer at any time.

Yes. HELLO PEOPLE takes over mobile apps whose original developer has moved on, and first moves the code, hosting and App Store and Google Play accounts into your name. It then fixes crashes, keeps the app current with each new iOS and Android version and Google Play requirement, and adds the features your users have been asking for.
