Why Businesses Across Nepal Trust Us for Mobile App Development

We Understand the Nepali Market

We build apps for Nepali users - with eSewa and Khalti payment integration, Nepali language (Unicode) support, offline functionality for areas with poor connectivity, and UI patterns optimized for how Nepali users navigate apps.

React Native Specialists

React Native is our primary mobile framework. One codebase runs natively on both Android and iOS - faster development, lower cost, and a single team maintaining your product. No quality compromise.

Backend Included

A mobile app is only as good as its backend. Every app we build comes with a Node.js API, Supabase database, user authentication, push notification service, and cloud hosting - not just a pretty frontend.

App Store Submission Handled

We handle the full Google Play Store and Apple App Store submission process - account setup, app listing, screenshots, review compliance, and first-time approval. You don't deal with the technical complexity.

How We Build Your Mobile App

Building an app is complex. Our process makes it transparent, predictable, and stress-free.

01

Discovery & Scoping

We start with a detailed conversation about your app's purpose, target users, core features, and business goals. We document a full feature list, agree on scope and cost, and sign a contract. Nothing is assumed.

02

UI/UX Design in Figma

Every screen is designed before a single line of code is written. We create wireframes and high-fidelity mobile UI prototypes in Figma - you approve every screen. What you sign off on is exactly what gets built.

03

Development (Sprint-Based)

We build in 2-week sprints with regular demos. Frontend (React Native), backend (Node.js + Supabase), and API integrations are developed in parallel. You see real progress every two weeks, not after months of silence.

04

Device Testing & QA

We test on real Android and iOS devices - not just simulators. We test performance, offline behavior, edge cases, payment flows, push notifications, and security before you see the final build.

05

App Store Submission

We prepare your Play Store and App Store listings - app icon, screenshots, description, keywords, privacy policy, and compliance review. We manage the submission and handle any rejection feedback from Apple or Google.

06

Launch & Post-Launch Support

After approval, we monitor the live app for crashes, performance issues, and user feedback. We provide free support for the period included in your plan, and ongoing AMC for long-term maintenance.

The Mobile App Tech Stack Behind Every App We Build

We use modern, well-supported frameworks - not outdated tools that will need replacing in 3 years.

iOS (Swift)

For premium iOS-first products targeting Apple device users.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile App Development

How much does mobile app development cost in Nepal?

Mobile app development in Nepal costs between NPR 80,000 and NPR 5,00,000+. A simple Android app starts at NPR 80,000-1,50,000. A cross-platform app (React Native) for both Android and iOS typically costs NPR 1,50,000-3,50,000. Enterprise apps with complex features, API integrations, and multi-user systems cost NPR 3,50,000 and above. Purba Tech Labs provides a free itemized estimate after a brief discovery call.

How long does it take to build a mobile app in Nepal?

A simple mobile app takes 6-10 weeks. A standard business app with multiple user roles, payments, and real-time features takes 10-16 weeks. An enterprise or SaaS app takes 16-28 weeks. Timelines depend on the number of screens, complexity of features, third-party integrations, and how quickly you provide feedback during review cycles.

What is the difference between Android app development and cross-platform app development?

A native Android app is built specifically for Android devices using Java or Kotlin. A cross-platform app (built with React Native) runs on both Android and iOS from a single codebase. For most Nepali businesses, cross-platform is the better choice - you reach both Android and iOS users at roughly 40% lower cost than building two separate apps. Native Android is best when you need deep hardware integration or very high performance.

Do you develop apps for both Google Play Store and Apple App Store?

Yes. We develop for both platforms and we handle the complete submission process - app listing, screenshots, descriptions, privacy policies, and compliance review for both Google Play and Apple App Store. We also handle rejection feedback and resubmission if needed.

Can you build an app that works offline?

Yes. We build offline-capable apps that store data locally on the device and sync to the server when connectivity is restored. This is especially important for apps used in remote areas of Nepal with poor internet. We use local SQLite databases and background sync queues.

Do you integrate eSewa and Khalti in mobile apps?

Yes. All our ecommerce and business apps include eSewa and Khalti payment integration. We also integrate ConnectIPS and card payments on request. Payment integration is tested end-to-end - from checkout to successful transaction confirmation - before delivery.

Can you build an app in Nepali language?

Yes. We fully support Nepali (Unicode/Devanagari) in all our apps - text display, input, and database storage. Apps can be built bilingual (Nepali + English) or Nepali-only based on your target users.

I already have a website. Can you build a mobile app that connects to it?

Yes. If your existing website has an API, we connect directly to it. If it does not, we build an API bridge. We can also build your mobile app as a companion to a new website - designing both together for a consistent user experience and shared backend.

Who owns the app after it is built?

You own 100% of the app, source code, database, and all assets once the project is paid and delivered. We provide full handover - source code repository access, server credentials, app store account access, and documentation. There are no ongoing licensing fees to Purba Tech Labs.

Can you update my app after launch?

Yes. We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) covering bug fixes, OS compatibility updates (new Android/iOS versions), feature additions, performance monitoring, and App Store compliance updates. Post-launch support is also included in every project: 1 month for simple apps, 3 months for standard, 6 months for enterprise.

What if my app gets rejected by the App Store or Play Store?

We handle App Store and Play Store submission as part of every project. If an app is rejected, we review the rejection reason, fix the issue, and resubmit at no additional charge. We follow Apple and Google guidelines from the start to minimize rejection risk.
