Looking for an app development agency for your iOS or Android project?

More and more companies are investing in mobile app development: the smartphone is the most direct channel between your business and your customers, always at hand. A website makes the difference, but it is a tailor-made application to create a continuous channel of connection with your users — faster, more personal, more loyal.

BigFive follows the app development in Milan and Monza for companies and startups: we design UX and UI, we develop native iOS apps (iPhone, iPad) and Android, hybrid apps and web apps, and we take care of publishing on stores. No amateur, ready-made solutions: professional applications built to the specific needs of your business.

From the first prototype to release, a single partner — and beating the competition becomes child's play.

Let’s talk

Do you need to create an app for iOS and Android?

    What characterizes our mobile app development?

    Native iOS and Android apps

    We develop native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android smartphones and tablets, or hybrid and cross-platform apps when a single code base is needed: we recommend the right technology for your goals and budget.

    Tailor-made apps

    Pre-packaged apps have never been of any use: we design each application to the specific needs of your business, from UX/UI to development, with the end user at the center.

    Simple to use

    An app that requires a manual is a failed app: we curate intuitive interfaces and clear paths, easy even for the less experienced — because user experience decides the reviews on the stores.

    Present in stores (ASO)

    We publish your app on the App Store and Google Play and present it at its best: text, screenshots, and optimized keywords (ASO) to make it easy to find and download.

    Integrate with your systems

    We connect the app to management systems, CRMs, e-commerce, and external APIs: synchronized data and processes that really work, even offline where needed.

    A source of income

    Push notifications, loyalty programs, in-app purchases, and subscriptions: the app becomes a direct sales and loyalty channel, measurable with integrated analytics.

    Secure and GDPR compliant

    Strong authentication, encrypted data, and privacy by design: we develop apps that protect your users' information and comply with GDPR, even when integrating with third-party systems.

    MVP in quick time

    Have an idea you need to validate? Let's start with an MVP: the bare-bones version of your app, developed in just a few weeks to test with real users before investing in the full product.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does it cost to develop an app?

    It depends on complexity, platforms, and integrations: an MVP to validate an idea requires a very different investment than an enterprise app with a dedicated backend. After a call to discuss the project, we'll send you a detailed, free, no-obligation quote.

    Is a native app, a hybrid app, or a web app better?

    It depends on your goals and budget: native apps offer maximum performance and full hardware access; hybrid and cross-platform apps reduce costs and time with a single code base; web apps and PWAs require no installation. We'll advise you on the right path during the analysis phase.

    How long does it take to make an app?

    An MVP typically takes 2–3 months; a full app 4–6, depending on features and integrations. We work in milestones, with test builds you can install and test during development.

    Do you also deal with publishing on stores?

    Yes: we manage the entire process on the App Store and Google Play—developer account, listings, screenshots, requirements, and reviews—and optimize your listing for ASO so you can be found.

    Can the app integrate with my management system or e-commerce?

    Yes: we connect the app to management software, CRM, e-commerce, and existing systems via API. If your software doesn't have an API, we'll evaluate its feasibility during the analysis phase before quoting.

    Do you provide support and updates after release?

    Yes: we offer maintenance plans that cover operating system updates, fixes, upgrades, and monitoring. An app needs to be maintained over time: iOS and Android change every year.

    Can you integrate artificial intelligence into the app?

    Yes: chatbots, image recognition, personalized suggestions, and predictive functions. These are projects we follow with our service. Artificial intelligence consulting for companies.

    Do you develop apps for startups or only for established companies?

    Both: with startups, we often start with an MVP to validate the idea and gradually grow the product; with established companies, we integrate the app into existing processes and systems.
