We create stunning native apps for iOS, Android, Desktop and the Web - all from the same codebase. Leverage Foresight Mobile's expertise with Flutter app development to create your next app.
Choosing the right mobile app development service is key to a successful project. Flutter is the World's most popular cross-platform development framework, developed and maintained by Google. You can reach millions of users from the same codebase
Foresight Mobile have successfully delivered over 50 Flutter apps over the last 6 years and continue to support everyone from startups to some of the largest tech companies on the planet.
Our team of Flutter app developers work across iOS, Android, the web and desktop - all from the same codebase.
This means we can deliver your product quickly and efficiently, greatly reducing development and maintenance costs compared with native and other cross-platform technologies such as React Native.
The UK's leading Flutter app development company, Foresight Mobile build beautiful, cross-platform apps that get you to market quickly from a single codebase.
Go beyond mobile with Flutter’s first-class browser support. With the same codebase used for your mobile app, we can now craft a seamless web experience that feels native and familiar to your users.
What if you could reach an even wider audience without starting from scratch? Flutter for the Web is a game-changer, building Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) natively from your existing code.
There’s no need to worry that your app won’t feel at home compared with natively-developed apps. Flutter provides native widgets for iOS and Android through the Cupertino and Material widget sets.
This widgets are built into the platform, allowing us to provide user interfaces that match the design idioms of the platform where appropriate.
Flutter’s rendering engine provides 60 fps animations and transitions, and its built-in animation widgets provide great features, right out of the box.
Unlike React Native’s JavaScript, Dart compiles to native code - extracting the full performance from your device. Features like sound null safety allow us to write performant and bug-free code.
All of this means that you get a native iOS app and a native Android app all from the same codebase.
Deploying one codebase across all platforms is inherently quicker than developing the same app multiple times. Known as cross-platform app development, this is Flutter's key benefit.
Features like hot reload allow our developers to iterate quickly on features and deliver value early in the process. By leveraging technologies like bloc and clean architecture we ensure that our apps are straightforward to develop and maintain.

"Foresight Mobile effectively and promptly met our needs. They were a candid, reliable, and collaborative partner."
Maintaining and updating an app is an ongoing investment in 2025. The cost of keeping an app running in the UK varies based on several factors:
Generally, maintenance costs range from 15-25% of the original development cost annually. With inflation and rising service costs in 2025, budget £2,000-£5,000/month for comprehensive app maintenance.
Free apps can generate substantial revenue in 2025 through diverse strategies:
Successful free apps in 2025 combine multiple revenue streams, with the average free app generating £0.50-£2 per monthly active user.
The cost of building an app in the UK can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
At Foresight Mobile, our UK app developers understand that every project has a unique budget. That's why we offer tailored solutions to ensure your app development stays within your financial constraints. We work closely with you to understand your specific needs and priorities, providing transparent cost estimates and flexible payment options.
We can also leverage our EU-wide network of skilled developers to find the most cost-effective talent for your project without compromising on quality.
Foresight Mobile can assist you with publishing to numerous Android stores worldwide in 2025. These include manufacturer stores: Samsung Galaxy Store (500M+ users), Amazon Appstore, Huawei AppGallery (580M+ users), Xiaomi GetApps, OPPO App Market, and Vivo App Store. For China, we support Tencent MyApp, Baidu Mobile Assistant, and 360 Mobile Assistant. Alternative stores include F-Droid for open-source apps, Aptoide, and APKPure. The EU's Digital Markets Act now requires support for third-party stores, making alternative distribution more viable than ever.
Development timelines in 2025 have been optimized through AI assistance and improved frameworks:
Modern tools like Flutter 3.x and AI pair programming can reduce development time by 25-35% compared to traditional approaches.
Flutter 3.x is excellent for most app development projects. With Dart 3.9 and improved performance, Flutter now delivers near-native performance with 60-120fps animations. Key advantages include: single codebase for iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS, and Linux; hot reload for instant development feedback; rich widget library with Material 3 and Cupertino widgets; 40% faster development than native; strong community with 1M+ developers; and excellent documentation. Flutter is ideal for MVPs, e-commerce apps, social platforms, and content-rich applications. Consider native development only when requiring platform-specific features like advanced AR or deep OS integration.
Flutter requires coding in Dart 3.9, Google's modern programming language. While Flutter provides extensive pre-built widgets and the new Flutter AI Toolkit can generate boilerplate code, developers still need to write Dart code for business logic, state management, API integration, and custom functionality. However, 2025 brings AI assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor that can generate Flutter code, making development more accessible. Low-code Flutter platforms like FlutterFlow allow visual development with minimal coding, but understanding Dart remains essential for professional app development.
We employ comprehensive monitoring using industry-leading tools and AI-powered analytics. Real-time monitoring includes Firebase Crashlytics for crash reporting (sub-1% crash rate target), Performance Monitoring for app speed and responsiveness, and Google Analytics 4 for user behavior tracking.
Advanced monitoring includes: APM tools (DataDog, New Relic) for infrastructure monitoring; synthetic monitoring for proactive issue detection; real user monitoring (RUM) for actual performance data; AI-powered anomaly detection for unusual patterns; and custom alerting for critical metrics. We maintain 99.9% uptime SLAs through 24/7 monitoring, automated rollback capabilities, and rapid incident response (< 15-minute response time for critical issues).
Publishing costs in 2025: Google Play requires a one-time $25 fee, while Apple App Store charges $99 annually ($299 for enterprise). However, the real costs lie in preparation: app store optimization (£1,000-3,000), localization for global markets (£500-1,500 per language), promotional materials and app previews (£2,000-5,000), and legal compliance documentation (£500-2,000).
Both stores take 15% commission on small businesses (<$1M revenue), then 30%. Consider ongoing costs: ASO tools subscription (£100-500/month), review management, update submissions, and seasonal marketing campaigns. We provide complete publishing services including store listing optimization, screenshot creation, and submission management to maximize your app's success.
Modern app hosting in 2025 leverages cloud platforms for scalability and reliability. Firebase remains popular with generous free tiers: 10GB storage, 1GB Firestore, 125K Cloud Function invocations monthly. Paid plans start at £20/month. AWS Amplify offers competitive pricing from £15/month, while Google Cloud Platform and Azure provide enterprise-grade solutions from £50/month.
Typical hosting costs for production apps: small apps (< 10K users) £50-200/month, medium apps (10K-100K users) £200-1,000/month, large apps (100K+ users) £1,000-5,000+/month. Additional services like CDN (£50-200/month), real-time databases (£100-500/month), AI/ML APIs (£100-1,000/month), and backup solutions (£50-200/month) add to costs. We optimize architecture to minimize expenses while ensuring performance and reliability.
Cross-platform development in 2025 offers significant cost advantages. Using Flutter 3.x or React Native, professionally-designed apps range from £25,000-60,000 for MVPs, £60,000-120,000 for feature-rich applications, and £120,000-250,000+ for enterprise solutions. This represents 30-40% savings compared to building separate native apps.
Flutter's single codebase approach reduces development time by 40%, maintenance costs by 50%, and enables simultaneous deployment to iOS, Android, Web, and desktop platforms. Additional costs include platform-specific customizations (£5,000-15,000), native module development for advanced features (£10,000-25,000), and comprehensive testing across platforms (£5,000-15,000). The ROI improves significantly when targeting 3+ platforms.
Flutter 3.x development in 2025 is significantly faster than traditional approaches. Simple apps with standard UI components take 3-6 weeks. Medium complexity apps with custom animations, API integrations, and state management require 6-12 weeks. Complex applications with real-time features, offline sync, and advanced functionality need 12-20 weeks.
Flutter's advantages include: hot reload for instant UI updates, extensive widget library reducing custom development, single codebase for multiple platforms, and AI-assisted development tools. Factors affecting timeline: design complexity, backend development, third-party integrations, testing requirements, and App Store/Play Store approval (1-2 weeks). Our agile process with 2-week sprints ensures predictable delivery and continuous progress visibility.
Cross-platform app development in 2025 means creating applications that run seamlessly across multiple operating systems and devices from a single codebase. Modern frameworks like Flutter 3.x, React Native, and Kotlin Multiplatform enable deployment to iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and even embedded systems.
Benefits include: 40-60% cost reduction compared to native development, faster time-to-market, consistent user experience across platforms, simplified maintenance with single codebase, and unified analytics and backend. Cross-platform tools now support platform-specific customizations, native performance through compiled code, access to device APIs, and modern UI paradigms. The approach is ideal for most business applications, with native development reserved for platform-specific features or maximum performance requirements.
Flutter uses Dart 3.9 (2025), Google's modern programming language optimized for UI development. Dart offers sound null safety preventing null reference errors, fast compilation to native ARM/x64 code, hot reload for instant development feedback, and async/await for elegant asynchronous programming. Recent improvements include pattern matching, records for multiple return values, and enhanced performance with up to 2x faster execution.
Dart's syntax is familiar to JavaScript/TypeScript developers, making it easy to learn. It supports both ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation for production performance and just-in-time (JIT) compilation for development flexibility. The language includes modern features like mixins, extension methods, and sound type system. With over 35,000 packages on pub.dev, Dart's ecosystem provides solutions for virtually any development need.
