Application Maintenance
Ensure your app stays secure, compatible, and optimized with our proactive maintenance plans.
What is Application Maintenance?
Like any modern software, your app is built on top of various SDKs and APIs - essentially third party code which powers the low-level functionality. For example, in Android, the Jetpack libraries allow us to build UIs as well as implement features using e.g. authentication or the camera.
As these external libraries mature they add features, improve performance and address bugs and security issues. It’s therefore important to regularly release new versions of your app which benefit from those changes.
Regular new releases are also a factor for ranking in the app stores - where newer apps are more likely to be suggested during search than older ones. It therefore is of importance to your app’s earnings.
Additionally, as new phones and tablets become available, it’s important to check that your app will work correctly with them and to monitor for any problems.
How can we help?
Maintenance keeps your app current, tested, and observable as mobile platforms change.
Regular release support
Regular monthly or twice-monthly updates let us incorporate platform and dependency changes soon after they become available.
Device and OS testing
For each release, we test against new devices and minor Android and iOS operating-system versions.
Crash and stability monitoring
Monitoring systems give us advance warning when users hit crashes or responsiveness issues so we can act quickly.
Why do I need a maintenance contract if the app is finished?
Mobile apps are never truly "finished" because the ecosystem changes constantly. Apple and Google release annual OS updates (like iOS 18 or Android 15) that can break existing features. Maintenance ensures your app remains compatible, secure, and live on the stores.
What is included in the monthly support package?
Our support packages typically cover OS compatibility updates, crash monitoring, server uptime checks, and minor bug fixes to keep your app running smoothly, along with checking for third-party library updates.
What happens if my app crashes on a weekend?
We use automated monitoring tools like Crashlytics to alert us to issues. We also have our own online support system, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
