Ionic App Development Company - Rareloop, Southampton UK

Cross-platform Ionic apps

From planning, to design, to development and ongoing support, we have over 10 years of experience creating successful Ionic based mobile apps for both businesses and charities. We understand the technology, the infrastructure and the processes required to create robust apps that scale.

Capacitor & Cordova development

We’ve worked with Hybrid app technology since its inception and are experts in both Cordova/PhoneGap and Capacitor development. We can also help you upgrade your app from Cordova to Capacitor.

Mobile app backends

Most mobile apps need to store data and this requires a server based backend. We can build mobile app backends using Laravel, whether this is just a bespoke API for sending and receiving data or whether you need a more fully featured dashboard or web portal.

Ionic offline data capture apps

We’re specialists in creating apps that work well offline, storing captured data until an internet connection is detected. We’ve built apps to gather in the field survey information, log on-site health & safety reports or track remote welfare visits.

Ionic UI prototyping & design

As a Digital Product Studio we’re able to help take and app from concept to delivery. It’s important that you build the right features and experience into your app and prototyping and UI design is how we can help you test this before we write any code.

Ionic maintenance & support

We provide a structured app maintenance service to ensure security patches are applied and that your app is kept up to date with mainline Ionic releases. In addition to proactive maintenance we also provide reactive support for when you need it.

Why use Ionic for hybrid app development?

Ionic is a mature and stable UI toolkit for building powerful and easy to use cross platform mobile apps. Built on standard web technology, Ionic enables us to write a single codebase that can run anywhere, on iOS, Android or the web. This reduces the time and cost of the initial app build as well as making ongoing maintenance simpler.

Using Ionic, we can create a unique and bespoke app that perfectly meets the needs of each project, rather than being forced down a specific path by overly restrictive technology.

Native vs hybrid, what’s the best approach for app development in 2021?
