Flutter App Development Agency

Build sophisticated mobile applications for iOS and Android without unnecessarily building everything twice. Reach Studios uses Flutter to create high-performance, scalable mobile experiences from a shared development foundation. Our Flutter developers work alongside strategists, UX designers, backend engineers and integration specialists to build applications designed around genuine customer and commercial outcomes. One product. Two major platforms. One connected development approach.

// What Is Flutter?

Single codebase, slashing development times. Native UX on any platform.

Flutter logo
Flutter is an open-source application framework created by Google for building applications across multiple platforms from a shared codebase. For mobile applications, it enables development across:

iOS

and

Android

without requiring completely separate frontend development projects for each platform. That can make Flutter particularly attractive for organisations looking to build sophisticated mobile products while keeping development, testing and ongoing maintenance manageable.

// Why Build Your Mobile App with Flutter?

A single foundation for both major App Stores

Native
Building mobile applications traditionally meant maintaining separate iOS and Android development streams. That can mean: Two codebases. Two sets of development effort. Two implementations of the same feature. Two opportunities for the experience to drift. Flutter provides an alternative. A shared development foundation enables teams to build and evolve both applications together. For the right project, that can mean:
  • Faster feature delivery
  • Reduced development duplication
  • Greater consistency
  • Easier ongoing maintenance
  • Faster prototyping
  • Strong application performance
  • Rich custom interfaces
  • Access to native functionality
Flutter isn’t automatically the right technology for every application. Our job is to determine when it is.

// Flutter for iOS and Android

Support both major App platforms

One of Flutter’s biggest advantages is its ability to support both major mobile platforms.

Flutter for iOS

Create applications for Apple’s mobile ecosystem while retaining access to platform-specific functionality where required.

Flutter for Android

Create applications capable of operating across the broad Android device ecosystem. A shared Flutter architecture means new functionality can frequently be designed and developed once rather than rebuilt independently for each platform. That creates a much more connected product-development process.

Flutter Doesn’t Mean Compromising on User Experience

Cross-platform development historically carried a reputation for compromise. Flutter takes a different approach. Its rendering and widget system gives developers significant control over interface behaviour and presentation. That allows us to build:
  • Bespoke application interfaces
  • Brand-led visual systems
  • Rich animation
  • Responsive mobile layouts
  • Interactive customer journeys
  • Complex ecommerce experiences
  • Account dashboards
  • Transactional workflows
The result should feel like a product designed for the device. Not a website placed inside an app shell.

Why Flutter Makes Commercial Sense

The technology decision shouldn’t be separated from the business case. The value of Flutter is not simply: We only need one codebase. The more important benefit is what that can enable. If product teams spend less time duplicating functionality across platforms, they can spend more time improving the customer experience. That can help businesses:

Launch mobile apps faster

Bring an initial mobile product to market sooner.

Iterate mobile apps faster

Introduce new functionality across platforms more efficiently.

Maintain consistency

Reduce differences between iOS and Android experiences.

Simplify mobile app maintenance

Manage shared application logic more effectively.

The Business Case for Better Mobile Experiences

The commercial impact of mobile can be substantial. In one success story (anonymised) by Reach Studios: Web

18m visits
£49m revenue
£2.76 average purchase revenue per active user

Mobile

1m visits
£19m revenue
£18.13 average purchase revenue per active user

Mobile represented:

5.3% of traffic.

But:

27.9% of revenue.

Average purchase revenue per active user was:

6.57x higher on mobile.

And revenue per visit was approximately:

7x higher.

This demonstrates why the quality of the mobile customer relationship deserves serious strategic attention.

Flutter Ecommerce App Development

Ecommerce applications can be an especially strong use case for Flutter. Mobile enables businesses to take existing ecommerce infrastructure and build a more persistent customer relationship around it. Flutter applications can support experiences including:
  • Product discovery
  • Search
  • Customer accounts
  • Saved products
  • Basket functionality
  • Checkout
  • Payment
  • Order history
  • Loyalty
  • Personalised content
  • Push notifications
  • Stock notifications
  • Repeat purchasing
The application can integrate with existing ecommerce platforms rather than requiring businesses to rebuild the underlying commerce infrastructure. Read the Full Mobile Commerce Case Study →

FLUTTER FEATURES

There are a whole host of benefits to developing in Flutter.

GET IN TOUCHArrow

Hot Reload

The hot reload feature makes app development much quicker. With Flutter, there is no need to reload the app to see every single change you make in the code. You can easily make changes in your app in real-time, so developers have more opportunities to experiment with code and fix bugs on the go.

Bountiful Libraries

Flutter uses the Skia Graphics Library which is a fast and mature open-source 2D graphics library which provides common APIs that work across a variety of hardware and software platforms. It redraws the UI every time a view changes. The result? Quick loading and smooth app experience.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Working with one codebase rather than two always helps to reduce total project costs; hence, cost-efficiency is one of Flutter’s most enticing aspects. The technology enables considerable savings by simplifying development and cutting app delivery time, increasing the application’s return on investment.
