Apps
Native-feeling apps, across every surface.
iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps — from idea to App Store, with design and engineering under one roof.
An app is a product, a brand, and a support burden at the same time. Kirat Studios designs and ships iOS, Android, and React Native apps that feel native, scale cleanly, and don't require a second agency after launch.
App development, design and engineering under one roof
Most app failures happen at the seams — handoffs between designer, engineer, and QA. We keep design and engineering on one team and version-control the design system alongside the code, so nothing gets lost in translation.
iOS and Android native
For apps with hardware, performance, or ecosystem requirements — Swift on iOS, Kotlin on Android. We ship native when it's the right call and we're honest about when it isn't.
React Native cross-platform
For the 80% of apps where a single codebase saves months, we build on React Native with Expo. Typed, testable, and shipped with proper CI/CD to both app stores.
UI / UX design
Design starts with the jobs the user is actually trying to do, not the feature list. We deliver a Figma source of truth, a documented component library, and prototypes that are tested with real users before code starts.
Launch and ongoing maintenance
App Store and Play Store submissions are a minefield — we handle the rejections, the metadata, the privacy manifests, and the post-launch patch cycle. Maintenance retainers cover OS updates, crash triage, and small improvements.

FAQ
Frequently asked
How much does it cost to build an app in Canada?
A v1 MVP on React Native typically runs $45,000–$120,000 depending on scope. Fully custom native apps with backend infrastructure start at $150,000.
React Native vs native — which is right for us?
React Native is right for most consumer apps, internal apps, and MVPs. Native is right when you need deep hardware integration, performance-critical graphics, or platform-specific ecosystem features.
Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes. We submit, handle review feedback, and maintain the listings post-launch, including screenshot updates and release notes for every version.
