Hybrid App Development. App Agency - Rareloop, Southampton UK

Hybrid mobile apps

From planning, to design, to development and ongoing support, we have over 10 years of experience creating successful hybrid mobile apps for both businesses and charities. We understand the technology, the infrastructure and the processes required to create robust apps that scale.

Ionic development

We’ve worked with Hybrid app technology since its inception and are experts in the popular open source Ionic framework.

Mobile app backends

Most mobile apps need to store data and this requires a server based backend. We can build mobile app backends using Laravel, whether this is just a bespoke API for sending and receiving data or whether you need a more fully featured dashboard or web portal.

Offline data capture apps

We’re specialists in creating apps that work well offline, storing captured data until an internet connection is detected. We’ve built apps to gather in the field survey information, log on-site health & safety reports or track remote welfare visits.

UI prototyping & app design

As a Digital Product Studio we’re able to help take and app from concept to delivery. It’s important that you build the right features and experience into your app and prototyping and UI design is how we can help you test this before we write any code.

Hybrid app maintenance & support

We provide a structured app maintenance service to ensure security patches are applied and that your app is kept up to date. In addition to proactive maintenance we also provide reactive support for when you need it.

Why develop a hybrid app?

Much has been debated about hybrid vs native app development and which is the best approach. We have a deep dive article into the pros and cons of each approach but we’re firm believers that hybrid represents the best investment for our clients.

Native vs hybrid, what’s the best approach for app development in 2021?

Native apps are developed specifically for each platform, hybrid apps are written using a single common codebase. We discuss the best approach for 2021.

Unlike native development, a hybrid approach is write once, run on all platforms. This means that the app development process is typically quicker, less costly and easier to maintain.
