We Build Quality Mobile Apps for Maryland & DC Businesses
Mobile App Development
Problem-Focused Design
We develop Mobile Apps for your business by connecting your vision with the problem that currently exists in the market. A critical mistake many founders & businesses make is falling in love with their products instead of the problem. We are here to ensure that doesn't happen. Whether you have a simple idea or an extremely complex one, our team at FA can handle it.

Comprehensive Mobile App Development Services


React Native & Flutter Development
Cross-Platform Development
It's not every day that a framework comes around which has as much impact as React Native and Flutter have had. These programming frameworks allow developers to have one core codebase and bridge this natively to both iOS and Android. This means we can build a Mobile app for your business on both iPhone and Android in less time without compromising on performance like you would with old cross platform frameworks.


Swift & Kotlin Development
Fully Native
Have an older mobile app that you have already developed for your business with a truly native programming language? If so our team of developers has built countless apps in Swift and Kotlin if you want to use fully native technologies. These apps truly have the best experience on native devices especially if you are looking to build a mobile app with more complexity that uses the device's features like GPS, push notifications, or the accelerometer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We've got answers. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to reach out to us directly.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
We take on a variety of projects including web applications, mobile apps, prototyping, and AI integration. We specialize in building custom software to address specific business problems.
Do you handle website hosting and maintenance after launch?
Yes, we provide optional hosting and maintenance services to ensure your website remains secure, up-to-date, and performs optimally over time. We have flexible post launch agreements called "Do Not Exceeds" budgets. This allows us to set a max amount of hours per month we can work, if you need us, but there's no requirements to "use it or lose it." Any hours left will just roll over to the following month. Our Startup clients love this flexibility.
What's the difference between a custom website and a template or website builder?
A custom website is built from the foundation tailored specifically to your unique business needs and brand identity. It provides better performance, more complex features, scalability, and flexibility compared to template-based builders which often have limitations in design and functionality. Template builders, on the other hand, are excellent in scenarios where you do not need complex features and you just need a simple, informational, website.
How much does it cost to hire an app developer?
The cost ultimately will vary based on the features you need. We can tell you we've built very simple apps that take about a week up to extremely complex ones that took +6 months. Most apps we've built typically take a few hundred hours spent over the course of 3-4 months to design and build properly. We offer free consultations to understand your needs and provide a customized quote.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
Similar to web development, it depends on complexity. On average, a mobile app can take 3 to 6 months from initial design to launching on the App Store and Google Play.
Can you takeover my existing mobile app or website?
Absolutely. We often audit existing codebases and can take over maintenance, add new features, or entirely rebuild apps or websites that are struggling with performance issues. One of the things we pride ourselves on is having launched 100% of the projects we've built. Sadly, that's not very true for most other agencies where the project will fall apart before ever going live despite the client having spent 70% of their budget already.
Can you add AI features to my existing app or website?
Yes! We can integrate AI-driven functionalities like chatbots, recommendation engines, and data analytics into your existing platforms to enhance user experience. We've done this for many of our small businesses and startups since they are typically the first groups of companies experimenting with AI features.
How much do you charge?
I hate to say it but, it depends. We price ourselves based on hourly rate x how many hours we think it'll take to build. If you reach out we'd love to get you a free accurate estimation for your project.
What technologies do you use to build websites and apps?
We work primarily with Next.js, Payload CMS, PHP/CodeIgniter, and React Native, hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure. We favor self-hosted, open-source tools so you own your stack rather than being locked into a vendor.
Can you fix or take over an existing app?
Absolutely. We often audit existing codebases and can take over maintenance, add new features, or entirely rebuild apps that are struggling with performance issues.
