What Is Mobile App Development?
Mobile app development is the process of building native or cross-platform applications for iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android devices. Modern apps are typically built cross-platform using React Native or Flutter — one codebase, two platforms — which is roughly half the cost of building separate native iOS and Android apps. For Brighton businesses, a well-built mobile app means push notifications, offline mode, App Store presence, and native device features (camera, GPS, biometrics) that responsive websites simply can't match.
