Mobile App Development

Powerful, User-Friendly iOS & Android Apps Built for Your Business

India is a mobile-first nation. With over 750 million smartphone users and more than 95% of internet sessions happening on mobile, a well-built app is no longer a luxury — it's a competitive necessity.

Digital Sun Technologies builds custom iOS, Android, and cross-platform mobile applications that combine intuitive, beautiful design with robust functionality and scalable architecture. From your initial concept through UX design, development, testing, App Store submission, and beyond — we are your end-to-end mobile development partner, committed to delivering an app your users will love and your business will grow with.

The Mobile Advantage: Apps convert 3x better than mobile websites. Push notifications achieve 7x higher click-through rates than email. Customers who use a brand's app spend 4x more than those who don't. If your competitors have an app and you don't, they are deepening customer relationships while you remain one browser-back-button away from losing that customer forever.
What We Build

FAQs

Mobile App Development — Frequently Asked Questions

Mobile app development costs in India vary widely based on complexity, platform, number of features, and the quality of the development team. A simple MVP app with core features typically starts from ₹2,50,000. A full-featured app for both iOS and Android starts from ₹5,00,000. Complex enterprise apps with custom backends, advanced features, and multiple integrations are custom-priced based on detailed scoping. We provide a precise, no-obligation cost estimate after a free discovery call.
Timeline depends on the scope, complexity, and number of features. A simple MVP app typically takes 10-14 weeks from design to App Store launch. A full-featured app for both iOS and Android typically takes 16-20 weeks. Complex enterprise or on-demand platform apps can take 6-12 months. We provide a detailed project timeline with sprint-by-sprint milestones at the start of every project.
Native apps (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) deliver the highest possible performance and deepest platform integration, but require separate development for each platform — roughly doubling development time and cost. Cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter share a single codebase across iOS and Android, reducing development time by 40-60% while delivering near-native performance. For most startups and first-time app launches, we recommend starting cross-platform to validate your concept cost-effectively.
In India, Android commands approximately 95% of the smartphone market, making it the logical first choice for consumer-facing apps targeting the mass market. If your primary audience is premium urban users, business professionals, or international markets, starting with iOS may make more sense. With React Native or Flutter, you can target both platforms simultaneously from day one — which is what we recommend for most clients.
Yes, absolutely. We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before any detailed discussion of your app concept, business model, or proprietary information. Your idea is safe with us, and the NDA is a standard part of our onboarding process for every new app development client.
You do — completely and without restriction. Upon final payment, full ownership of all source code, design files, API documentation, database schemas, and any other project assets transfers to you. We provide the complete Git repository, all Figma design files, backend server credentials, and App Store / Play Store account access.
Yes. We build the complete technology ecosystem — the mobile app (iOS and Android), the backend API and server infrastructure (hosted on AWS or Google Cloud), the database, and the web-based admin dashboard for managing users, content, orders, and analytics. We are a genuinely end-to-end mobile development partner, not just a front-end app builder.
Yes. All projects include 30 days of post-launch hypercare support at no additional cost. After that, we offer flexible monthly maintenance retainer packages covering bug fixes, iOS and Android OS compatibility updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and new feature development sprints.
Yes. We regularly take on legacy app projects — auditing the existing codebase, identifying technical debt and performance issues, redesigning the UI/UX, and adding new features on top of the existing foundation. If the existing code quality is poor, we also offer full app rebuild services, migrating your data and users to a new, modern, well-architected codebase.
