Partner, not vendorSince 2015

You're not hiring hands.You're gaining a product team.

Wve is best suited for organizations looking for a long-term product partner, not simply development capacity. We take responsibility across strategy, design and engineering — from early strategy and product definition through design, engineering, launch, modernization, and continued development.

A decade of designing, engineering, launching, and scaling digital products for startups, growth companies, and established organizations. Mobile apps, web platforms, custom software and AI-enabled products — thoughtfully conceived, beautifully designed, and engineered to perform.

What we do

  • 01

    Mobile App Development

    iPhone, Android and cross-platform. Mobile has been at the heart of Wve for more than a decade and remains one of our deepest areas of expertise.

  • 02

    Custom Software Development

    Internal platforms, operational tooling and the systems your business actually runs on — built to be maintained, not just delivered.

  • 03

    UX/UI Design

    Product thinking first, interface second. Research, flows, design systems and interaction detail carried straight into engineering.

  • 04

    Web Development

    Web platforms and product surfaces that hold up under real usage, integrated with the same backend your apps depend on.

  • 05

    Applied AI

    AI woven into products where it earns its place — assistants, automation and intelligence inside software people already use.

01 / 04 industries · iPhone

Core frameworksNative first

The frameworks we build onchosen for the product, not the trend.

Proven stacks that deliver performance, scalability and reliability across iOS, Android and hybrid environments — selected in week one, defended in year three.

01

iOS App Development

Swift · SwiftUI · UIKit · Combine

Native iOS built on MVVM and Combine, with Core Data or SwiftData behind the screens. Gestures, transitions and haptics match how iOS users already navigate — from clinical handhelds to consumer flagships.

02

Android App Development

Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · Room · Coroutines

Kotlin-first Android with Jetpack guiding layout, navigation and lifecycle. Room, Retrofit and Coroutines keep data operations stable so the app stays responsive across a wide device matrix.

03

React Native

React Native · TypeScript · Reanimated

One shared codebase with native-level feel. We structure components, navigation and state properly, then drop to native modules wherever speed or platform APIs demand it.

04

Flutter

Flutter · Dart · Bloc / Riverpod

Expressive, pixel-controlled interfaces on iOS and Android from a single engineering approach. Animations stay smooth at 60fps across screen sizes and older hardware.

05

Progressive Web Apps

React · Vite · Service Workers

App-like products that open from a link — installable, offline-capable and instantly distributable. Ideal for pilots, internal tools and low-friction adoption.

06

Cross-Platform & Backend

Node · Postgres · AWS · GraphQL

Reach both platforms without maintaining two tracks, backed by APIs, auth and infrastructure we own end to end. Targeted native components go where performance matters.

What our clients are sayingReal teams · Real builds

Neurocycle · Clinical Director teamNeurocycle · Clinical Director logo
Working with WVE Labs felt like hiring an in-house team overnight. They rebuilt our neuro assessment app natively in eleven weeks, sat in our clinical reviews, and pushed back when a feature would have slowed clinicians down. Zero lag, zero crashes, and our therapists finally stopped emailing support.
Dr. A. Rahim · Neurocycle · Clinical Director
PuffCount · CEO teamPuffCount · CEO logo
They shipped Apple Watch and HealthKit sync working on the first TestFlight build, which nobody on my board believed was possible. Weekly demos on real devices, honest estimates, and a senior engineer answering Slack the same hour.
M. Alvarez · PuffCount · CEO
Unity · VP Engineering teamUnity · VP Engineering logo
Our biometric login and audit trails passed enterprise security review untouched — no remediation round, no delay. They documented every decision, handed over clean code, and trained our internal devs so we were never held hostage.
J. Whitmore · Unity · VP Engineering
DinkLink · Founder teamDinkLink · Founder logo
Our players book courts in three taps now. WVE Labs understood pickleball club operations better than we did by week two, and the launch weekend handled 4,000 bookings without a hiccup.
T. Marsh · DinkLink · Founder
Corra · Head of Care teamCorra · Head of Care logo
The interactive pain-point body map was a hard design problem and they nailed it on the second iteration. Patients complete intake in under two minutes and our clinicians trust the data.
N. Guerrero · Corra · Head of Care
InHealer · Product Lead teamInHealer · Product Lead logo
Every sprint ended with something we could hold in our hands. No status theatre, no surprise invoices — just a calm senior team that shipped a clinical-grade iOS app on the date they promised.
H. Lindqvist · InHealer · Product Lead
CardWhale · Co-founder teamCardWhale · Co-founder logo
One team covered both stores and cut our burn rate almost in half. They mapped the architecture before writing a line, so when we pivoted the onboarding flow mid-build it cost days, not months. The most commercially sensible engineering partner we have used.
S. Patel · CardWhale · Co-founder
Newport · Director of Ops teamNewport · Director of Ops logo
A booking bug surfaced on a Friday at peak season and they shipped a hotfix over the air in twenty minutes — no review queue, no panic. That single afternoon paid for the whole engagement.
L. Chen · Newport · Director of Ops
OG Props · Head of Product teamOG Props · Head of Product logo
Android users had complained for two years and stopped within a month of launch. Store rating went from 3.1 to 4.8, and the team explained every trade-off in plain English to non-technical stakeholders.
R. Okafor · OG Props · Head of Product
Gameday · Ops Director teamGameday · Ops Director logo
Matchday traffic spikes used to break us. One codebase now serves both stores, restaurants get bookings in real time, and the team stayed on the phone with us through the first full season.
D. Boyle · Gameday · Ops Director
Worldie Draft Fútbol · CTO teamWorldie Draft Fútbol · CTO logo
Our live draft has a 30-second clock — there is nowhere to hide latency. They rebuilt the room in React Native and it has not dropped a pick since launch across two continents.
F. Almeida · Worldie Draft Fútbol · CTO
Apolide Travel · Managing Partner teamApolide Travel · Managing Partner logo
They shipped a genuinely beautiful travel product on a boutique budget. Guests compliment the app before they compliment the villas, which tells you everything.
C. Rossi · Apolide Travel · Managing Partner
Raiders · Logistics Lead teamRaiders · Logistics Lead logo
Offline mode in dead-zone warehouses is the reason we renewed for a third year. Their engineers rode along on real shifts, watched our crews scan, and designed the sync engine around that reality instead of a whiteboard. Nothing has been lost since.
K. Nowak · Raiders · Logistics Lead
GenThree · CMO teamGenThree · CMO logo
HIPAA infrastructure, BAAs and audit logging were handled before we even asked the question. Our compliance officer called the handover pack the best documentation she had ever received from a vendor.
Dr. P. Shah · GenThree · CMO
Logit · CTO teamLogit · CTO logo
The AI features actually shipped to production instead of dying as a demo — private models, guardrails, evaluation dashboards and all. They were honest about what would not work, which saved us a quarter of wasted spend.
T. Bennett · Logit · CTO
DW Mobile+ · Director of Engineering teamDW Mobile+ · Director of Engineering logo
Thousands of live camera streams on mobile, and it never stutters. Their backend team re-architected our video pipeline and then documented it well enough for our own engineers to own it.
G. Feldman · DW Mobile+ · Director of Engineering
NotME · Executive Director teamNotME · Executive Director logo
Safety features have to work perfectly the first time. They treated our safe-word protocol with the seriousness it deserved, tested it with real users, and shipped without a single critical bug.
S. Ellery · NotME · Executive Director
APTC · Club President teamAPTC · Club President logo
Sponsorship, tournaments and member comms all in one app our caddies actually use daily. Analytics were wired in from day one, so we finally know what our members care about.
W. Hargrove · APTC · Club President
Unity · Head of Growth teamUnity · Head of Growth logo
They rebuilt our checkout in six weeks and conversion jumped 31% in the first month. What impressed me most was the discipline — they instrumented every step, argued with our assumptions using data, and refused to ship the redesign until the numbers held for two full weeks.
B. Iversen · Unity · Head of Growth
Cardwhale · COO teamCardwhale · COO logo
The team treats our roadmap like their own — proactive, blunt, and always shipping. They flag risks weeks before they become problems and have twice talked us out of features that would have cost six figures to maintain. That kind of honesty is rare in an agency.
M. Duarte · Cardwhale · COO
Newport · Ops Director teamNewport · Ops Director logo
Our field agents went from paper forms to a native app they genuinely enjoy using. Adoption hit 94% in three weeks with no mandate from management, and the offline capture means our crews in rural sites never lose a report again. Admin time dropped by roughly a day a week per agent.
R. Sandoval · Newport · Ops Director
OG Props · Founder teamOG Props · Founder logo
Listings sync in real time across three portals now and we have had zero double-bookings since launch. They rewrote the sync layer twice to get the conflict handling right rather than shipping something that mostly worked, and our support inbox is quiet for the first time in years.
A. Petrov · OG Props · Founder
GenThree · CTO teamGenThree · CTO logo
They inherited a stalled build from another vendor, spent a week auditing it honestly, and told us exactly what was salvageable. Forty days later we were live in the App Store with a clean codebase and a test suite we actually trust. No drama, no blame, just delivery.
J. Ferreira · GenThree · CTO
Logit · VP Operations teamLogit · VP Operations logo
Dashboards our warehouse leads open every single morning — that had never happened with any tool we bought before. They sat with the floor supervisors, cut two thirds of the metrics we asked for, and shipped the handful that actually change decisions on a shift.
E. Novak · Logit · VP Operations
DinkLink · Brand Lead teamDinkLink · Brand Lead logo
Design work that made our product feel premium without ever slowing the roadmap down. They built us a real component system, documented it, and now our own team ships new screens in hours that used to take a fortnight of back-and-forth with contractors.
C. Whitfield · DinkLink · Brand Lead
WDF · Member Services teamWDF · Member Services logo
Their AI assistant answers around 70% of member questions before staff ever see them, and it hands over cleanly when it is unsure. They spent as much effort on the guardrails and escalation paths as on the model itself, which is exactly why we trust it in front of members.
P. Moreau · WDF · Member Services
Corra · Engineering Manager teamCorra · Engineering Manager logo
Clean architecture and a documented handoff meant our internal team took ownership painlessly. Two engineers shadowed them for a month, and when the engagement ended nothing broke and nobody panicked. They optimised for us not needing them, which is why we keep calling them back.
S. Aziz · Corra · Engineering Manager
Inhealer · Medical Director teamInhealer · Medical Director logo
HIPAA-ready from day one, and in eighteen months not one clinician has complained about the flow. They shadowed rounds before designing anything, and the result is software that fits how care actually happens rather than how a spec document imagines it.
Dr. L. Marchetti · Inhealer · Medical Director
Dubai Group · Product Owner teamDubai Group · Product Owner logo
They handled a launch weekend that tripled every projection we gave them, with zero downtime and no emergency calls. The load testing they insisted on months earlier — which we thought was overkill at the time — is the only reason that weekend was boring.
O. Al-Farsi · Dubai Group · Product Owner
VibeCheck · Founder teamVibeCheck · Founder logo
Weekly demos, honest tradeoffs, and a v1 that people actually opened twice a day instead of once and never again. They cut our original scope in half and were right to — retention on the smaller product beat everything we had modelled for the bigger one.

How we workTalk → Design → Build → Launch

One team, from first callto continued development.

Strategy, design and engineering carried by the same people — through launch, modernization and everything after. It starts with a call: free, 15 minutes, no obligation.

TalkStep 1

It starts with a call.

Free, 15 minutes, no obligation. You speak with a real product expert — not a sales script — about what you're trying to build, who it's for and what it should cost.

  • Free 15 minutes
  • No obligation
  • Real product expert
DesignStep 2

Strategy, then screens.

Product definition, user flows and interface design. We shape what the product should be before anyone writes code, so engineering builds the right thing.

  • Product definition
  • UX/UI design
  • Design system
BuildStep 3

Engineered to perform.

Mobile, web, backend and applied AI built by the same team that designed it. You review working software on real devices throughout, not at the end.

  • Working software
  • Weekly demos
  • You own the code
LaunchStep 4

And what comes after.

Store submission, release and monitoring — then modernization and continued development. A long-term product partner, not simply development capacity.

  • Release support
  • Modernization
  • Continued development

After launchSame team

We stay onafter version one.

Launch is the start of the product, not the end of the engagement. The engineers who built it keep it healthy — updates, upgrades and the next chapter of the roadmap.

01

Platform & security maintenance

System libraries, auth layers, backend dependencies and OS behavior changes. As iOS and Android evolve, we make targeted updates that keep your app secure, functional and store-compliant.

02

Performance & reliability monitoring

Crash reporting, error budgets and real-user performance tracking. We watch cold-start times, API latency and regression trends — and act before your users file a review about it.

03

Feature releases & rollout management

Phased rollouts, feature flags and staged store submissions so new work ships without risking the release you already trust.

04

App visibility & ASO

Store listing optimization, keyword and creative testing, review response strategy and release-note hygiene to keep organic installs compounding.

Why We're DifferentVendor / Partner

A vendor delivers scope.A partner owns the product.

Without us

  • Development capacity: you hand over specs, they hand back tickets
  • Strategy and product definition are somebody else's problem
  • Design and engineering sit in different companies
  • Launch is the finish line — then the team disappears
  • Nobody owns the outcome, only their slice of the scope
  • You end up being the product manager on top of your real job

With WVE Labs

+
  • A long-term product partner, not simply development capacity
  • Strategy, design and engineering under one roof
  • From early strategy and product definition through launch
  • Modernization and continued development after release
  • You own 100% of the code, IP and repositories
  • One team accountable for the outcome, not the ticket

What we take onFit check

The right project,honestly qualified.

We're a fit for

  • New digital product development
  • Mobile and web applications
  • Custom software
  • Modernizing an existing product
  • AI product development
  • UX/UI redesign

Have an app already?

Already have an app that isn't performing? We modernize, redesign, and re-engineer existing products too.

We're not the fit for

  • Logo-only branding
  • Basic brochure websites
  • SEO or social media campaigns

There are excellent teams for that work — it just isn't what we do well. We'd rather say so early and point you somewhere better.

Project approach

Scoped for real outcomes.

We define scope, budget and milestones together before a single line of code is written.

FAQsStraight answers

Frequently askedquestions.

What makes WVE Labs different from other app development companies?

We're a digital product company, not a dev shop. Strategy, design and engineering sit under one roof, in-house since 2015, and the senior people you meet on the first call are the people who ship your product. Mobile has been at the heart of Wve for over a decade and remains one of our deepest areas of expertise.

Which platforms do you develop for?

Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI), native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), cross-platform (React Native, Flutter), progressive web apps, wearables, and the web platforms and APIs behind them.

Do you offer both native and cross-platform development?

Yes — and we'll tell you honestly which one your product needs. Hardware-heavy, performance-critical or long-lived platforms usually earn native. Products optimizing for speed to market across both stores often do better on one shared codebase.

How long does it take to build an app?

A focused v1 typically ships in 10–14 weeks. Growth products run 4–7 months. Enterprise platforms with compliance and integration work run longer and are delivered in staged releases so value lands early.

How much does it cost to build an app?

Starter builds typically land at $25K–$60K, growth products at $60K–$200K, and enterprise platforms at $200K and up depending on workflows, integrations and compliance.

Can you help with maintenance and updates after launch?

Yes. We run ongoing platform and security maintenance, performance monitoring, feature rollouts and app store optimization with the same team that built the product.

How involved will I be in the process?

As involved as you want to be. We work in short sprints with demo builds on real devices, shared boards and open documentation — you see progress, tradeoffs and next steps in real time.

What industries do you serve?

Consumer products, media and entertainment, hospitality, financial services, education, automotive, healthcare and technology — including work for Sony, Honda, Guardian, Marriott, USC, Maui Jim and California State University.

Can you integrate AI or third-party APIs?

Yes. Applied AI is a standing capability: assistants, summarization, search, prediction, document processing and workflow automation, plus integrations across payments, EHRs, PMS, ERP, CRM and internal legacy systems.

Do you provide consulting before the project starts?

Yes. The first call is a 30-minute working session with a senior engineer. You leave with a feature breakdown, a compliance checklist and a realistic budget range — no pitch deck.

Do you sign NDAs to protect my idea?

Always, before any detailed discussion. Your concept, files, IP and communication stay confidential from the first consultation through deployment and beyond.

How do I choose the right development partner?

Ask who actually writes the code, ask to see products still live in the stores years later, and ask how they handle the boring parts — QA, compliance, releases and support. Those answers separate real product teams from resellers.
