Custom iOS and Android apps connected to your website.
Local Robot® designs and develops mobile apps around the tasks your customers and team need to do. Connect website content, member accounts, schedules, and business tools in an experience built for the people who use it. Serving Rhode Island, Summerville, and teams beyond.
Publish once. Connect the experience.
Your app and website should work together. We plan the content model and integrations so information can be managed through your existing WordPress site or connected systems. The scope starts with your audience and the job the app needs to do, with a manageable path from discovery to launch.
Useful apps for your audience
Potential applications include member resource libraries, maps and event guides, commerce and rewards tools, and learning or media experiences. We can plan shared accounts, schedules, content, and business integrations where supported access is available. These are examples to explore, with the essential workflow and scope defined around your audience.
Our Process
We plan discovery, design, development, testing, submission assistance, and support as connected stages. A project may launch on iOS and Android together, or begin with iOS and add Android later. The right sequence depends on your audience, existing systems, and agreed scope.
Alongside client work, we build Azalea Island, our owned iOS and web product, pictured here.
Discovery and Scope
We identify the audience, the task that matters, the platforms needed, and the existing website or systems. Together we define the essential first release and its acceptance checks.
Experience and Interface Design
We map the important screens and user journeys before building. Navigation, account access, content, accessibility, and the relationship with your website are considered together.
App Development
We build the agreed iOS and Android experience around the approved workflow. Platform-specific requirements and a coordinated launch or staged Android follow-on are included in planning.
Website and Business Integrations
We connect supported content, calendars, accounts, and APIs after reviewing access, permissions, and data handling. Greenwich Stars is a delivered example of a website-connected client app.
Testing and Release Preparation
We test core tasks, invalid inputs, account states, device layouts, and integration failures. Store requirements and the materials needed for submission are reviewed before release.
Submission Assistance and Support
We help prepare the app for the client’s store publishing accounts and support the submission process. Review decisions remain with Apple and Google. Maintenance and later improvements are scoped with you.
Questions before we start
Can the app use our existing website content?
Often, yes. We review the CMS, APIs, account system, and content structure first. The aim is to share the information that should stay in sync without duplicating routine administration.
Do iOS and Android have to launch together?
No. We can plan a coordinated release or an iOS-first build with an Android follow-on, depending on your audience, requirements, and available scope.
How much does a custom app cost?
Pricing is project-specific. We review the audience, essential workflows, platforms, integrations, and support needs before preparing a scope and estimate.
Can we see a released client example?
See the Greenwich Stars Basketball app, delivered for iOS and Android. Azalea Island is a separate Local Robot owned iOS and web product.
