Mobile App Design That Drives Downloads, Activation, and Retention

It varies widely. An MVP might have 15-25 screens. A full-featured app typically has 40-60 screens. Complex apps with multiple user types can exceed 80+ screens. We scope based on features and user flows, not arbitrary screen counts.

Timeline depends on complexity. MVP apps (15-25 screens) take 4-6 weeks. Full apps (40-60 screens) take 8-12 weeks. Complex apps (80+ screens) take 12-16+ weeks. We’ll provide accurate timeline after understanding your specific requirements.

Design and development are separate services. We deliver complete designs in Figma ready for any development approach. We hand off to your existing team or to a development partner we have worked with before.

Our mobile app design includes: user flow mapping, wireframes, high-fidelity UI for all screens, onboarding flow design, paywall/monetization UX, interactive prototypes, design system with components, developer handoff specs, and app store assets (icons, screenshots).

Yes. We often start with a UX audit to identify exactly where users drop off and why. Then we redesign the specific flows causing problems - whether that’s onboarding, core features, or monetization touchpoints.

Yes. App store presence directly impacts download conversion. We design app icons, screenshot sets, and feature graphics optimized for both iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

We design onboarding to minimize time-to-value. The first session has to reach something worth keeping before the user puts the phone down. We use progressive profiling (collect info over time, not upfront), delay permission requests until contextually relevant, and get users doing meaningful actions immediately.

Effective paywalls demonstrate value before asking for payment. We design paywall timing based on user achievement (after they experience benefit, not before). We present pricing clearly, handle objections within the flow, and avoid manipulative patterns that damage trust.

A fixed-scope quote agreed after the intro call, priced against the flows in scope rather than a screen count, because two products with the same screen count can differ by a factor of three in work. A Trial Week on your onboarding is credited toward the project.
