A US mobile app development company that ships apps you own.
Kadmoon is a mobile app development company based in Austin, Texas. We build native and React Native apps for iOS and Android, with product-grade UX, offline-first data when the job needs it, and direct integration with your backend. You own the app, the backend, and the store listings on delivery.
What a mobile app development company delivers
A mobile app development company takes an idea to a shipped app and keeps it healthy. That means interface and UX design, the app for iOS and Android, the backend and APIs behind it, release to the App Store and Play Store, and updates after launch. We build the app as part of your system, so it reads and writes the same data as the rest of your operation instead of living on its own.
Native or cross-platform
For most business, field, and customer apps, React Native lets one codebase serve both platforms and keeps them in step, which usually lowers cost. Native pays off when you need heavy graphics, deep hardware access, or maximum performance. We choose per project and explain the reasoning. Our guides on React Native versus native and offline-first apps go deeper.
Why Kadmoon for mobile
Kadmoon runs on a senior in-house team with two-week sprints and a working build each cycle, so you are testing the app on a real device early. We handle the mobile app service and the data and AI behind it, work as a broader software development company, and can show you the systems we have delivered.

Mobile app development: frequently asked questions
What does a mobile app development company do?
A mobile app development company designs, builds, ships, and maintains apps for iOS and Android. That covers UX and interface design, the app itself, the backend and APIs it talks to, app store release, and updates after launch. A good one builds the app as part of your wider system rather than a standalone island that cannot reach your data.
Should I build a native app or use React Native?
React Native lets one codebase serve both iOS and Android, which usually cuts cost and keeps the two platforms in sync, and it is a strong default for most business and field apps. Native (Swift or Kotlin) earns its extra cost when you need heavy graphics, deep device features, or the last bit of performance. We pick per project and are honest about the trade-off instead of defaulting to one answer.
How much does it cost to build a mobile app?
Cost tracks scope: the number of screens and flows, whether it works offline, how many systems it integrates with, and whether you need one platform or both. A focused single-platform app costs far less than a cross-platform app with offline sync, payments, and a custom backend. We scope the build with acceptance criteria per feature so the price is something you can check.
Do you build the backend and API for the app too?
Yes. Most mobile apps are only as good as the backend behind them. We build the APIs, data model, authentication, and sync layer alongside the app, or integrate cleanly with the systems you already run, so the app is part of one coherent system rather than a disconnected front end.
Do I own the app code and the App Store listing?
Yes. On delivery you receive the source code, the backend, the CI/CD pipeline, and the credentials, and the App Store and Play Store listings are published under your own developer accounts. No lock-in and no dependency that leaves you unable to ship an update without us.
