Mobile apps,
built in London.
At Magora, headquartered in the vibrant UK tech scene, we create mobile apps that drive digital transformation and elevate user experiences — native iOS, Android and cross-platform, built by senior engineers and owned by you from the first commit.
Mobile app development
services.
Bespoke mobile app development is our top-priority service. We craft native apps for iOS and Android — with deep expertise in Swift and Kotlin — and cross-platform when shared code pays its rent.
iOS app development
SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, Core Data, Apple Pay, CallKit. Built for the latest device generation, supports back to iOS 15.
Android app development
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, Hilt, Room, Retrofit, ML Kit, biometrics. From entry-level handsets to foldables.
Cross-platform development
React Native and Flutter when a shared codebase pays its rent. Native modules where it actually matters.
Applications for tablets
Responsive layouts that breathe on iPad and large Android tablets — split views, drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts.
API integration development
Payments, identity, mapping, CRM and custom backends. OAuth, OpenAPI, retries that don't suck, observability built in.
Maintenance & support
OS upgrades, security patches, store-policy compliance and feature work — keep the app alive past the launch high.
Three pillars,
one shipped product.
Same engineers from kickoff to handover. Weekly demos. No staff augmentation, no offshore rotation.
Discovery
Magora business analysts formalise the key demands, choose the appropriate platform and priority devices, and structure your future mobile app's requirements.
UI / UX design
Leading app designers visualise the user journey. Intuitive functionality wrapped in user-friendly interfaces — the kind that drive both downloads and retention.
Development
A decade of native iOS and Android experience. Short sprints, transparent process, highly-functional apps shipped reliably to App Store and Play Store.

What clients
say.
Pulled from independently-verified Clutch reviews — 60+ of them, 4.9 average.
They shipped on the date they promised, and the app passed App Store review first time. That's rare.
Native performance, weekly demos, code we now maintain in-house with no friction.
The team got the IAP economics right at the design stage — saved us a six-month re-architecture later.
