# iPhone and Android apps, from idea to the App Store

MadeYouViral designs and builds mobile apps for iPhone and Android, from the first sketch to approval on the App Store and Google Play. We handle product planning, design, development, the backend, payments and AI features such as photo recognition. Apps for one platform start at $5,000, and apps for both start at $6,450. Most first versions launch in ten to eighteen weeks.

## What you get

- **Product and design.** We turn the idea into user flows and screen designs you can tap through on your own phone.
- **iPhone and Android.** One app for both platforms, or a single platform if that's where your users are.
- **Backend and accounts.** Logins, user profiles, a database and an admin dashboard to manage it all.
- **Payments and subscriptions.** In-app purchases, subscriptions and card payments, set up to follow store rules.
- **AI features.** Photo recognition, chat assistants and recommendations that make the app smarter the more it's used.
- **Push notifications.** Reminders and updates that bring users back, sent at the right moment.
- **Store launch.** App Store and Google Play listings, screenshots, review submission and any fixes reviewers ask for.
- **After launch.** Crash monitoring, analytics, updates for new iOS and Android versions and new features.

## Questions

### How much does it cost to build an app?

Apps for one platform start at $5,000, and apps for both iPhone and Android start at $6,450. Features like payments, chat, maps and AI, and whether you need designs and a backend, move the price. The quote tool gives you a price based on your answers.

### How long does it take to build a mobile app?

Most first versions take ten to eighteen weeks including design, development and store review. A focused first version with fewer features can launch sooner.

### Should I build for iPhone, Android or both?

In the US, iPhone often comes first. If you need to reach everyone, build both from one codebase, which costs less than two separate apps. We look at your audience and recommend one.

### Will you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare the listings, submit the app for review and handle any changes the stores ask for. The developer accounts are in your name.

### Can my app use AI?

Yes. Our food inventory app uses AI to identify items from a photo of a fridge. Other common uses are chat assistants, recommendations, summaries and voice input.

### What happens after launch?

We monitor crashes and reviews, update the app for new iOS and Android releases, and build new features on a care plan from $300 a month.
