Flutter development for consistent cross-platform apps
Flutter is an open-source toolkit from Google for building apps for iOS, Android, web and desktop from one codebase written in Dart. It draws its own interface, so apps look the same on every device and highly customised designs are straightforward.
Because Flutter renders every pixel itself, it gives precise control over branding and animation and behaves consistently across platforms. Hot reload makes interface work fast, and performance is smooth for most apps. The trade-offs are that Dart is less widely known than JavaScript, apps can be larger than native ones, and matching every platform convention takes deliberate effort. If your team already works in React, React Native is often the more natural cross-platform choice.
What we build with Flutter
- Branded consumer apps
- Apps for iOS and Android from one team
- Highly animated or custom interfaces
- Internal apps across mobile and desktop
- MVPs targeting multiple platforms
Flutter questions
Should we choose Flutter or React Native?
Both are mature. Flutter gives very consistent custom design; React Native fits teams already using React and JavaScript. Team skills and design goals usually decide it.
Can Flutter access native device features?
Yes, through plugins and platform channels, which let Dart code call native Swift or Kotlin code when needed.
Do Flutter apps pass App Store and Google Play review?
Yes. Flutter compiles to native app packages that are reviewed like any other app, and we publish them under your own developer accounts.
How does Flutter perform compared with native apps?
Flutter compiles Dart ahead of time to native code and renders with its own engine, so well-built apps run smoothly. We profile animations and long lists on real devices to keep frame rates steady.
Can a Flutter app work offline?
Yes. We use local databases such as SQLite or Drift to store data on the device and sync changes with your back end when the connection returns.
How are push notifications set up in Flutter?
We usually use Firebase Cloud Messaging, which delivers to Android directly and to iOS through Apple's push service, with permission handling and deep links from notifications.
Will a Flutter app look like a standard iOS or Android app?
Flutter draws its own widgets, so it can follow Material or Cupertino styles or a fully custom design. We decide with you whether the app should look identical everywhere or adapt to each platform.
How do you test Flutter apps?
Flutter has built-in support for unit, widget and integration tests, and we add golden image tests to catch visual regressions before release.
Can the same Flutter code run on the web or desktop?
Yes, Flutter supports web, Windows, macOS and Linux. It suits app-like tools well, but content-heavy public websites are usually better built with web technologies for search visibility.
Are Flutter apps larger than native ones?
Flutter includes its rendering engine, so the minimum app size is a little larger. For most business apps the difference is modest and does not affect downloads noticeably.
