Mobile App Development in Addis Ababa
We build Android and iOS apps for businesses and organisations in Addis Ababa and across Ethiopia — from the first idea to publishing on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and support after launch.
Android first, iOS when you need it
Most smartphones in Ethiopia run Android, so most of our clients start there. We usually build cross-platform, which means one codebase for both Android and iOS: you reach both stores for less than the cost of two separate apps.
When an app needs deep access to the phone — the camera, location, offline storage or notifications — we plan for it from the start, so it works the way people expect a native app to.
Apps that work on real networks
Connections drop and data costs money. We keep apps small to download, cache what users need so screens open quickly, and design flows that recover gracefully when the network does not.
One team for the app and the system behind it
Most apps need a backend: user accounts, an admin dashboard, payments and reports. We build that too, so the app, the website and your internal tools all share the same data.
Frequently asked questions
- Should we build for Android or iOS first?
- For most audiences in Ethiopia, Android. With a cross-platform build you can release both at the same time for little extra cost.
- Can you take over an app someone else built?
- Often, yes. We review the existing code first and tell you honestly whether it is worth continuing or better to rebuild.
- Who owns the app?
- You do. The source code and the store accounts are yours.
