App Development and App Design
Mobile and web app development that’s not complicated. Take the common sense approach and develop your next app with Uplancer!
We Make App Design and App Development Look Easy
Every app that we develop out of Columbus, Ohio, comes with the very best UI/UX and core functionality that our clients and their end users need. Whether you’re considering Java, Javascript, Python, C#, React, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, or aren’t sure, Uplancer finds the most commonsense approach to bring your app to life. Just ask our clients, Fortune 500 Medical Company, OSU, and Mobile Health, who applauded how easy we were to work with in developing their apps.
Common Sense
App Development
By building apps the common sense way with Uplancer, you‘ll benefit in four ways: cost-savings, faster go-to market, right the first time, and choice of language.
Cost-Savings
When you’re focused on keeping things simple, you’ll definitely save money. You spend less time on non-core features and release an app that does what your end users need. Everything else is backlogged for later enhancements.
Go to Market Faster
Our team leverages agile development. We keep our code clean, process streamlined, and deployments frequent. That gets us to the finish line faster than other app developers. As a result, you get both user feedback and a working app sooner.
Right the First Time
One thing that we hate is when we’re called in to fix a shotty job. From start to finish, we choose lasting technologies that can be easily supported. We get it right by being anal-retentive in our quality assurance, which includes manual and automated testing. As a result, you get an app that is exactly what you wanted and built to last.
Any App, Any Language
Looking for help with Java, Javascript, Python, C#, Dart, React, Swift, Kotlin, or another language? Let’s chat! Every language has its own advantages and is why our team doesn’t focus on one. We can develop your app from scratch or support your existing one. We can also help determine whether a native or cross-platform language is a better choice for your app.
You’ll Be Happy
You Did It
On the fence about building an app? Yes, it’s an investment, but we’ve got three main reasons why you shouldn’t hesitate.
Proof of Concept
Exploring new business opportunities? Get the insights you need with a minimal viable product. Build the leanest version of your app and get it into the hands of customers sooner. Then you’ll have feedback to make that next major business and development decision.

Scale
Building apps isn’t just for new ideas. At times, you need an app to help improve an existing process. We helped a healthcare client go from performing a few thousand procedures a year to performing hundreds of thousands of procedures a year with a health testing app. Your app can kickstart your growth.
Automate
It’s a lot easier to use one thing to do ten different tasks then to use ten different things to do ten different tasks. Save time and money, and refocus your efforts on doing more value-added work. Replace your complex work process with a single, simple app.

Frequently Asked Questions: App Development
Have a question about app development? We have answers!
1. I have an innovative idea for an app. What else do I need to get started?
An idea is all you’ll need to kickstart app development with our team! We’ll guide you through the development process, starting with an in-depth discovery phase. During discovery, we learn more about your application and uncover the full scope of your app, which may include full app branding, prototyping, and developing and launching your app.
2. Do I need a web application, iOS application, and/or Android application?
It depends! A good rule of thumb when budget constrained is to offer business apps as a web app and personal apps as a mobile app. Otherwise, consider building your app on all three platforms to offer a richer user experience.
3. How much does it cost to build my app?
Our apps range anywhere from $5,000 for a simple app (learning application with limited functionality) to $30,000+ for complex apps (marketplace and social media applications) per platform. Learn more about the cost of building an app here.
4. How long does it take to build my app?
Depending on the complexity of your app, it could take anywhere between several weeks and several months. We can’t be too certain unless we undergo what we call the discovery phase, which helps us scope out your full application.
5. Which programming language should I use?
For every app that we build, we use three criteria for determining the language:
- Popularity – languages that are popular will have a strong community of developers and support team. Coding and debugging is easier for popular languages.
- Maturity – a more mature language means it should have plenty of resources around the code. As a result, better libraries and less development time.
- Device – every app has it’s own device requirement and we pick languages accordingly. Sometimes native languages, such as Swift and Kotlin, are ideal for certain apps while cross platform languages like React Native and Dart are better for other apps.
Therefore, you’ll find that the apps that we build are programmed in Python, Dart, Swift, Kotlin, Vue.js, and many other effective languages. We keep it simple and are happy to explain why we chose a certain language for your app. Otherwise, feel free to explore how to choose a programming language on your own.
6. What happens after my app is launched?
A common mistake after launching any app is to only worry about it when there’s a problem. Let that sink in. The issue with this mentality is that by the time you’ve identified a problem, your users may have already left your platform from reasons, such as your app crashing, users getting locked out from your app, or certain core functionality not working.
Therefore, we recommend that all apps undergo routine maintenance to prevent bugs from being introduced into your app. Ask us about how our app maintenance service and how it can be customized for any application.
7. App development is super expensive! How can I reduce the price tag?
Always work on your MVP – minimum viable product – and focus on the core of your application. Every other feature should be postponed for a later release, reducing the overall scope of your application. As a result, the price tag of your app is at the minimum.
