YOUR ENGINEERING TEAM
Senior engineers working inside your business hours, not around them.
METOVA
Mobile app development company.Proven at scale.
A great launch gets your app in the store. Building it to win means features that perform on every device and OS version, releases that keep improving what works, and infrastructure that evolves as your business grows, so what we build today keeps working for you tomorrow. Your US-based product leads and architects own delivery from concept to maintenance, while senior nearshore engineers in Mexico build alongside them, 0 to 2 hours from your time zone. You get one accountable team that moves fast and stays in sync.
- 20 years launching production software
- 250M+ downloads delivered

Metova is a full-service technology partner
Bring us a mobile idea, an app that has outgrown its first team, or a product ready for its next version. Our strategy, design and engineering teams take it from the first build to something people open every day. We have been shipping iOS and Android software since 2006, alongside web, platform and connected-device work.
(01)
Strategy and product definition
Platform choice, scope and success criteria defined up front, so your first release delivers on its budget.
(02)
Prototypes and MVPs
A working build on real devices delivered in weeks, so you can test with real users and commit to the full product with confidence.
(03)
UX/UI design
Research-driven interfaces, design systems and accessible experiences that users love
(04)
iOS, Android and cross-platform engineering
Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin/Jetpack Compose and React Native, plus the APIs and infrastructure behind them.

Strategy that creates lasting value
Every app we build centers on your business goals and the people who use it. We start with an MVP that targets the solution you need, then own delivery from strategy and roadmapping through development and ongoing maintenance. Because we plan for life after launch, your app stays supported, adapts to how your users engage with it and grows with your business.

Project Engagement Process
(01)
Discovery call.
Our architect and project lead will discuss the current state of your product, your end goals, and we will define the gap to determine your project's scope.
(02)
Scoped plan.
We will review any available documentation and consider our discussions to create a proposal outlining the suggested initial scope of work, budget, team composition, and timeline. We will deliver the proposal and open the conversation to finetune the commitment.
(03)
Project Kickoff.
We begin onboarding and create a standup cadence and a direct communication line through Slack.
You may be wondering
How do you scope a mobile app project?
In a call led by our senior architect and product owner we work through your goals, your users and which platforms you actually need. You get a written plan with scope, milestones, team and budget before you commit to the build.
What does a mobile app cost to build?
It depends on platforms, integrations and how much backend sits behind the app. After scoping you get a written estimate tied to milestones. Many clients start with a prototype or MVP in 2 to 4 weeks, so there is something on a real device before committing to the full build.
Native, cross-platform, or both?
Whichever best serves your product. Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android, and React Native when one codebase serves you better. We make the call together and document the reasoning, so every platform decision ties back to your goals.
Who owns the code and the store listings?
You do. The code, the designs, the documentation and the App Store and Play Store listings are yours, published under your developer accounts, and we hand over full access.
How do you handle App Store and Play review?
We build store requirements, privacy labels and permissions into the project from the start, then manage the submission for you. Planning for review early keeps your launch on schedule.
What happens after launch?
The same team stays on for monitoring, optimization and new features, with regression testing on every release and OS updates handled ahead of time, so your app keeps running smoothly.
