Mobile apps in East Africa need to work differently than apps in other parts of the world. Internet connectivity can be inconsistent, data costs matter to users, and payment preferences vary by country. We build apps that consider these realities while still providing a great user experience.
A good mobile app should make life easier for your customers or help your team work more efficiently. For a healthcare clinic, this might mean an app that lets patients book appointments and access their medical records. For a retail business, it could be an app that makes shopping easier with quick M-Pesa payments. The key is understanding what your specific users need and building accordingly.
We've found that the most successful apps in East Africa share certain characteristics: they work well with limited internet, they're straightforward to use, and they integrate with payment methods people already trust. These aren't just technical requirements—they're what users expect from apps that serve them well.
Our approach starts with understanding both your business goals and your users' needs. We consider factors like where your users typically access apps (on mobile data or Wi-Fi), what devices they use, and what tasks they want to accomplish. This helps us recommend the right type of app and features for your situation.
Different types of apps work better for different situations. Here's how we help you choose.
Built specifically for iOS or Android
These are apps you download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. They work directly with your phone's features (camera, GPS, contacts) and typically offer the best performance. Good for apps that need to work offline, use phone hardware, or be discoverable in app stores.
View DetailsWeb-based apps that work like native apps
These apps run in a web browser but can be added to your phone's home screen. They work well even with poor internet connections and don't require app store approval. Good for reaching users quickly, working across different devices, and avoiding app store fees. Many agriculture and logistics businesses choose this approach.
View DetailsOne codebase for both iOS and Android
These apps use technologies that let us write code once and deploy it to both major platforms. They offer a good balance between development efficiency and app performance. Good for businesses that need both iOS and Android apps but have budget or time constraints. Popular with educational and hospitality clients.
View DetailsApps that work when internet connections are unreliable. Users can continue using key features even without connectivity, then sync data when they're back online.
Integration with M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and other payment methods East Africans use regularly. Makes transactions easy and familiar for users.
Optimized apps that use minimal data, considering that many users pay for mobile data by the megabyte. This makes apps more accessible to more people.
Interfaces that are easy to understand and navigate, even for users who may not be familiar with complex apps. Good design reduces confusion and increases usage.
Update mechanisms that work well even with slow internet connections. Users shouldn't need to download large updates over expensive mobile data.
Built-in help and support that works for users who might prefer calling or WhatsApp over in-app chat. Different support channels for different user preferences.
Appointment booking, medical records access, medication reminders, and telemedicine consultations for patients and clinics.
Room bookings, digital check-in, service requests, local information, and payment processing for hotels and resorts.
Delivery tracking, route optimization, proof of delivery, and communication between drivers, dispatchers, and customers.
Product browsing, mobile shopping carts, loyalty programs, push notifications for sales, and integrated mobile payments.
Each industry has different needs, but all benefit from apps that understand how people in East Africa use mobile technology. The right features make the difference between an app people use regularly and one they delete after trying once.
