Hire mobile app developers who work your hours
When you hire mobile app developers from A1Strategez, each developer is on our payroll, works only on your app and takes direction from you. They keep your working day, join your stand-ups and work in your repository. You interview them before anything is signed.
What our mobile app developers work on
New apps built from a design, features added to an app that's already in the stores, the screens and the code behind them that talks to your systems, and the release work that keeps an app current as phones, operating systems and store rules change. You set the priorities; the developer does the work inside your team, in your repository and your tickets.
Most requests fall into one of three situations. A company has an app and lost the person who built it. A product team has a roadmap that's longer than its people can cover. Or a business has a web product and needs an app to match. In each case the developer joins as a member of your team rather than a supplier working at arm's length.
Android developers
Android developers who build and maintain apps for the phones most of the world uses, from the first screen to the store listing and every update after it. Tell us the devices and the versions you support, and we shortlist developers who have worked to that range. They test on the devices your customers actually carry, not only the newest ones.
iOS developers
iOS developers for phone and tablet apps, working to the store's review rules and release cycle. They take an app from a design to the store, or pick up an existing codebase, learn it and keep it moving. When the store's rules change, they plan the work so a release isn't held up at review.
Flutter developers
Flutter developers when you want one codebase for both Android and iOS. It suits a team that has to ship to both stores and keep the two versions in step, or a company starting fresh that would rather maintain one app than two. If you already have two native apps, we'll tell you whether moving makes sense before you commit to it.
When to bring in a dedicated app developer
- Your app's update list is growing faster than your team can work through it.
- The person who built your app has left, and nobody else knows the code.
- You need an app built, and you'd rather direct the work yourself than hand it to an agency.
- A store rule or an operating system change means work has to happen before a deadline.
If you'd rather hand over the whole app as a project, with us owning the result, see our custom software development company page instead.
Your hours, your release days
When your developer keeps your working day, a crash report that lands in the morning gets looked at in the morning. They're online while your team is, in the same meetings, and their managers and our interviewers are available in your time zone too. Our team is in Lahore; your developer simply works your hours, release days included.

What to look for when you hire mobile app developers
Whoever you hire mobile app developers from, check these five things. Here's how we answer them.
| Look for | Our answer |
|---|---|
| Apps they've shipped to the stores, not only built | You see each candidate's past work at the shortlist stage and ask them about it in the interview |
| Experience on the platforms you use | We shortlist to your platforms: Android, iOS or Flutter |
| How they test before a release | Testing on the devices your customers carry is part of the job, and it shows in the weekly report |
| How they handle store reviews and updates | Release work is planned in, so a store rule change doesn't stop a launch |
| How you'll stay in touch | They keep your hours and sit in your stand-ups |
A developer who can explain why an app was rejected at review, and what they changed, has done the job before. Ask that question in the interview.

Questions buyers ask
How much does it cost to hire mobile app developers?
One monthly rate per developer, set by the role and the seniority. You get the figure before anything is signed, and it covers payroll, benefits administration and equipment.
Can I interview the developers first?
Yes. You interview every developer on your shortlist, and nothing is signed until you're happy.
Should we hire Android and iOS developers, or a Flutter developer?
If your apps are already native, keep a developer on each platform. If you're starting fresh, or want one team to ship to both stores, a Flutter developer can cover both from one codebase.
Can they take over an app someone else built?
Yes. They start by learning the codebase and fixing what's urgent, then pick up the roadmap. You see what they find in the weekly report.
Who owns the app's code?
You do. Everything the developers build for you is yours, and the contract says so.
What if a developer leaves?
You hear it from us straight away, we line up a replacement, and you interview them before it's finalized. The work carries on in the meantime.
Can we start with one developer and add more?
Yes. Start with one seat and add developers as the work grows, each on the same terms and each interviewed by you first.
How will we see what they're doing?
You direct the work day to day, and you get a written progress and task report every week, with a call whenever you want one.
Where are your developers based?
In Lahore, Pakistan, working your hours. Visits go both ways.
