What is mobile app development?

Mobile app development is the process of designing, building and launching applications that run on smartphones and tablets — for iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android devices. A mobile app can serve customers directly (ordering, booking, loyalty), support field operations, or connect to a business's backend system for real-time data access.

How much does mobile app development cost in Malaysia?

Mobile app development in Malaysia typically starts from RM 30,000 for a simple single-platform app, RM 50,000 to RM 80,000 for a cross-platform iOS and Android app, and RM 100,000 or more for a complex app with a backend system, integrations and advanced features. UNO scopes each project based on features, platforms and integrations required.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A simple mobile app typically takes 3 to 4 months to build. A standard app with backend integration takes 4 to 6 months. A complex app with multiple user roles, payment gateways, real-time features and third-party integrations can take 6 to 9 months. Timeline depends on scope, design complexity and the number of integrations.

Do you build both iOS and Android apps?

Yes. UNO builds native iOS apps, native Android apps, and cross-platform apps that run on both iOS and Android from a shared codebase using frameworks such as Ionic and Capacitor. Cross-platform development reduces cost and time while covering both platforms.

Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?

Yes. UNO manages the full App Store (Apple) and Google Play (Android) submission process including app signing, store listing, screenshots, compliance review and release. We also support updates and version management after the initial launch.

What types of mobile apps does UNO build?

UNO builds restaurant ordering apps, delivery apps, loyalty and rewards apps, booking and scheduling apps, healthcare and clinic apps, field operations apps, fleet tracking apps, membership apps, ecommerce apps and internal enterprise tools for businesses in Malaysia and internationally.
