Scale your engineering capacity with custom iOS and Android app development. Integrated developers, QA, and DevOps who fit your processes and ship production apps from discovery through launch.
Trusted by enterprises, scaleups and startups
01
Adding headcount is slow and expensive. Instead, Evolved Ideas embeds developers, QA engineers and DevOps specialists into your existing structure. They follow your code standards, use your CI/CD pipelines, attend your standups and report through your usual channels. No translation layer, no separate vendor process. They work as part of your engineering org from day one.
You need iOS and Android apps that actually ship. We handle discovery, technical architecture, development, testing and the full App Store and Play Store submission process. Your engineering managers stay in control; we handle the execution. Whether you're building consumer-facing products or internal tools, the app is yours to run and extend after launch.
Our teams span the UK (Leicester HQ), Spain and Ukraine. This gives you timezone overlap with UK and European markets, genuine cost efficiency, and the ability to scale up or down without long hiring cycles. Your engineering team can pair directly with our developers, reducing ramp-up time and keeping knowledge transfer on your terms.

Evolve ran a series of workshops with key business stakeholders to understand the business challenge we were facing and to help us define the right solution. The team then held my hand every step of the way in developing our Discount and Rebate Management Solution, which went live in January across 7 countries.

LOCAL INSIGHT
Engineering managers in mid-market and scaleup companies face constant pressure to deliver mobile products without bloating headcount. Hiring full-time iOS and Android engineers takes months and adds fixed costs. Outsourcing to distant agencies creates handoff friction and disconnection from your engineering culture. Custom mobile app development with integrated teams solves both: you get experienced developers and QA who plug straight into your processes, ship production-ready apps, and stay accountable to your standards. This is especially valuable for teams with strong engineering practices who need capacity, not a vendor relationship.
Where our teams sit
OUR PROVEN PROCESS
Our process has guided startups, scaleups and enterprises from concept to reality, and continues after launch.
A free 30-minute consultation followed by a stakeholder workshop, where we listen to your challenges, validate assumptions and build an outside-in view of your situation.
We scope the project, define milestones and deliverables, then research your market, wireframe the UX and prototype the UI so the direction is agreed before a line of code.
We assemble your dedicated team, establish reporting and work in iterative Scrum sprints, delivering a working MVP or proof of concept you can test with real users.
We ship, sign off, and keep your product current through our support service or a permanent extended team as your business evolves.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
We specialise in mobile and web application development, DevOps, cloud computing, data analysis, AI and ML — with security and code quality certified end to end.
Security and quality
OUR SOLUTIONS
Technology is more than just code — it's a tool for solving real business challenges. Whichever route fits your stage, the same team delivers it.
With your long-term goals in mind, we help you choose the technology you need and develop a tech roadmap based on industry trends, emerging tech and your business requirements.
We have years of experience building proof of concepts and MVPs. We will take you from testing viability to building an MVP to validate your hypotheses.
Tier 1 customer support, Tier 2 technical support and Tier 3 development support for applications and legacy software, delivered by our engineering teams.
If you need to build an IT team from zero or need staff augmentation, we can build the team you need — developers, designers, analysts and even fractional CTOs.
Your developers work directly with our team via your existing communication tools, version control and CI/CD pipelines. They attend your standups, follow your code review standards and use your testing frameworks. We treat integration into your process as a critical success factor, not an afterthought. Most teams see full productivity within 2-3 weeks.
We build cross-platform iOS and Android apps. Your team decides the architecture: native on both platforms, React Native, Flutter or a hybrid approach. We advise based on your performance requirements and time-to-market, but the decision stays with you. Either way, you get consistent code quality and shared knowledge across both platforms.
The codebase belongs to you. Your engineering team owns the app post-launch and maintains it independently if you choose. Some clients keep us on for ongoing feature work or have us available for surge capacity. We support whatever arrangement works for your roadmap, but there's no vendor lock-in or forced maintenance contract.
We embed developers, QA engineers and DevOps specialists as needed. If you want full end-to-end ownership, we can supply all three. If your QA and infrastructure teams are already strong, we can send just developers. We scale the team to fill gaps in your capacity, not to upsell services you don't need.
We have teams across Leicester, Spain and Ukraine, which means real overlap with UK working hours. Most days you have 4-6 hours of overlap with each location. For synchronous pairing or reviews, we schedule around your team's core hours. For async work, we use clear documentation and structured handoffs so nothing gets lost overnight.
Most embedded teams reach full productivity within 3-4 weeks, assuming clear requirements and access to your systems. The first week is onboarding to your tooling, architecture and standards. By week two, they're shipping code. We run a structured handoff process with your tech lead to make sure critical context transfers fast.
