Looking for an app development company that delivers? You've found one. Foresight Mobile builds iOS, Android, and cross-platform applications for UK businesses. From startups validating an idea to enterprises modernising legacy systems, we provide the technical expertise and strategic guidance to turn your vision into a working product.
Most app development companies want to start building immediately. We take a different approach. Before writing a single line of code, we help you answer the questions that matter: Is this the right solution? What should we build first? How much will it actually cost?
This clarity-first approach means fewer surprises, faster launches, and apps that achieve their business objectives. It's why we've maintained long-term relationships with clients for over seven years.
We develop apps across every major platform and technology:
Cross-platform apps with Flutter deliver iOS, Android, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter's Impeller rendering engine provides native performance with 40% faster development timelines. This is our recommended approach for most projects.
Native iOS apps built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI for projects requiring deep Apple ecosystem integration, platform-specific features, or maximum performance on iPhone and iPad.
Native Android apps using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for projects targeting Google's ecosystem, including support for foldables, tablets, Wear OS, and Android TV.
Progressive Web Apps for projects where app store distribution isn't required but offline capability and native-like experiences are.
Not sure which approach is right? That's exactly what The App Gameplan helps you determine.
Every successful app starts with understanding the problem it solves. Our process reflects this:
Discovery: We explore your business goals, user needs, and technical requirements. For complex projects, our App Gameplan provides a structured 4-week discovery engagement with fixed pricing.
Design: User experience and interface design that makes your app intuitive and engaging. We create interactive prototypes you can test with real users before development begins.
Development: Agile delivery in 2-week sprints with regular demos. You see progress continuously and can adjust priorities based on what you learn.
Launch: App Store and Google Play submission, including ASO optimisation. We handle the technical requirements and compliance checks.
Support: Ongoing maintenance, updates, and enhancements. Your app stays current with OS updates and evolves with your business.
We partner with organisations at every stage:
Startups building their first product need speed, flexibility, and honest advice about what's achievable within their budget. We help you ship an MVP that proves your concept without over-engineering.
Scale-ups with existing products often need to rebuild or significantly enhance their apps. We audit what you have, recommend what to keep, and deliver what's needed to support your growth.
Enterprises require security, compliance, and integration with existing systems. We have experience with regulated industries, complex backend architectures, and IT procurement processes.
Before committing to a full development programme, consider The App Gameplan. For £3,500, you receive a technical feasibility assessment, architecture plan, prioritised roadmap, and fixed-price development quote. The fee is credited if you proceed with us.
An actionable four-week plan with clear deliverables and an unbeatable £3,500 price point, credited against your first development sprint.
Total client time commitment: 5-7 hours across 4 weeks
We meet with your key stakeholders to understand your business goals, user needs, and technical constraints. You'll share any existing research, designs, or documentation you have.
Our engineering team assesses the technical feasibility, identifies integration points with your existing systems, and evaluates architecture options.
We determine whether Flutter, native development, or another approach makes the most sense for your specific requirements.
We create clickable prototypes so you can experience your app before it's built. You'll test navigation flows, validate the user experience, and gather feedback from stakeholders.
Alongside this, we prioritise features based on business value and technical complexity, mapping out a phased delivery plan with a detailed cost estimate.
You receive your complete Gameplan pack, plus a presentation walkthrough with Q&A. Your team walks away with everything needed to make a confident decision.

Your app is built by developers in Manchester, not outsourced offshore. This means real-time collaboration during UK business hours, face-to-face meetings when needed, and a team that understands your market.
Our core development team has been together since we founded the company in 2017. Low turnover means deep expertise and consistent quality across every project.
Manchester HQ • Same Timezone • Face-to-Face Available • Consistent Team
Flutter is our core technology because it delivers the best value for most projects. A single codebase deploys to iOS, Android, web, and desktop with native performance. Development is 40% faster than building separate native apps, and maintenance costs drop by 50% because there's only one codebase to update.
We've delivered over 50 Flutter apps since 2017, making us one of the UK's most experienced Flutter development teams. When Flutter isn't the right fit, we're equally capable with native Swift/Kotlin or React Native.
Flutter Development • iOS & Android • Web Apps • Desktop Applications
“They’re more thoughtful than any other development team I’ve worked with..... I’m not sure what they could improve."
"The team has delivered exactly what we asked for but is able to use their own skill and judgment to make improvements"
"Foresight Mobile effectively and promptly met our needs. They were a candid, reliable, and collaborative partner."
Yes. We offer flexible support and maintenance packages ranging from pay-as-you-go to comprehensive monthly plans. Services include OS update compatibility, security patches, bug fixes, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements.
Most clients who build with us continue with ongoing support. Your app needs to stay current with iOS and Android updates, and continuous improvement based on user feedback is how the best apps grow.
We follow an agile process with four phases: Discovery (understanding requirements), Design (UX/UI and prototyping), Development (2-week sprints with regular demos), and Launch (deployment and App Store submission).
Throughout, you have a dedicated account manager and direct access to the development team. We use transparent project management tools so you can see progress in real-time. Regular demos mean no surprises at the end.
Both. About half our projects are with startups or early-stage companies; the other half are with established businesses and enterprises.
Startups benefit from our experience shipping MVPs efficiently and our honest advice about what to build first. Enterprises value our security practices, integration experience, and ability to navigate procurement processes. The approach differs, but the quality doesn't.
Timelines vary by complexity: MVPs typically take 8-12 weeks, feature-rich apps 3-5 months, and complex enterprise solutions 6-12 months. These estimates include design, development, testing, and deployment.
Flutter's single-codebase approach delivers 40% faster timelines compared to building separate native apps. We work in 2-week sprints with regular demos, so you see progress throughout and can adjust priorities as needed.
Professional app development in the UK typically ranges from £25,000 for a simple MVP to £150,000+ for complex enterprise applications. The variation depends on features, platforms, integrations, and design complexity.
We provide fixed-price quotes after discovery, so you know exactly what you're paying before development starts. Our App Gameplan at £3,500 gives you a detailed, accurate quote you can budget against, with that fee credited if you proceed.
We develop iOS apps (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch), Android apps (phones, tablets, Wear OS, TV), cross-platform apps using Flutter, and Progressive Web Apps. Our Flutter expertise allows us to build for all these platforms from a single codebase when appropriate.
We've built consumer apps, B2B tools, internal enterprise applications, IoT control interfaces, e-commerce platforms, and SaaS products. If it runs on a mobile device or in a browser, we can build it.
The best apps come from close partnership. You'll work with us as an extension of your team: your vision drives every decision while our mobile app development experience guides you around common pitfalls.
70% of app projects fail due to misaligned expectations and market misunderstanding. The App Gameplan catches these issues before you've committed significant budget.
Start with a 30-minute call. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about your project.
