Keep Your App Stable After Launch. Ongoing care for live Android and iOS apps: bug fixes, OS and SDK updates, crash monitoring, security patches and small feature changes.

Crash monitoring with fixes prioritised by impact
Updates for new Android and iOS versions and store rules
A named team that already knows your codebase

Overview

An app is never finished on launch day. New phone models, operating system releases, store policy changes and library updates can break features that worked last month.

We look after apps we built and apps built by others. After a short code review, we take over monitoring, fixes and releases on a monthly plan, so your users keep getting a working product.

The problem

Many businesses launch an app and then lose contact with the original developer. Crashes pile up, reviews drop, and one day the store rejects an update because the target SDK is out of date.

How we solve it

We take ownership of the codebase, set up crash reporting and keep dependencies current. Issues are logged, fixed and released on a regular cycle, and urgent problems get a faster response.

How We Work

01Code and account reviewWe audit the code, build setup, store accounts and backend to understand the current state.
02Monitoring setupWe connect crash reporting and performance tools so problems are visible early.
03Backlog and prioritiesWe list bugs, outdated libraries and requested changes, then agree what comes first.
04Fix and release cycleWe ship tested updates to Google Play and the App Store on an agreed schedule.
05Monthly reportYou receive a short summary of fixes, releases, crash trends and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you maintain an app you did not build?

Yes. We start with a code review, then confirm what we can support and flag anything that needs attention first.

How fast do you respond to urgent issues?

Response times are agreed in your plan. Critical problems such as a crash on launch or a broken login are always handled ahead of routine work.

Is backend and server work included?

It can be. If your app uses Firebase, a custom API or a hosting server, we can include those in the maintenance scope.

What if I need a bigger new feature?

Larger features are quoted separately, so your maintenance plan stays predictable.
