Mobile commerce that converts on the go.
Native iOS and Android apps and Progressive Web Apps engineered for Arabic-first shoppers, local wallets and lightning-fast checkout - across MENA mobile networks, on every device tier.
Mobile is not a smaller desktop
Across MENA, 70-85% of eCommerce traffic and the majority of revenue now comes from mobile devices. Buyers expect wallet-native checkout (Apple Pay, Mada in-app, STC Pay), instant loading on patchy 4G, and an experience that respects Arabic typography, RTL flows and thumb-reach ergonomics. Most stores treat mobile as a responsive afterthought - and lose conversion to the brands that don't.
We design and build for mobile first. Native iOS and Android apps when retention, push and home-screen presence matter; Progressive Web Apps when reach and ASO-free distribution win; React Native when one codebase across both makes commercial sense. All wired to the same commerce engine, with shared design systems and shared analytics.

Choosing the right shape for your mobile bet
There's no universal winner - there's the best fit for your audience, retention model and team velocity.
- 01
Go native when…
Retention, push and frequent reorder drive your model (grocery, food, beauty subscriptions).
- 02
Go PWA when…
Reach, low CAC and discoverability beat retention - early-stage brands and content-heavy stores.
- 03
Go React Native when…
You need both stores but want a single product team and shared releases.
- 04
Add native on top of PWA when…
You've outgrown the web app and your repeat-buyer cohort justifies a store presence.
- 05
Stay PWA when…
Your audience is multi-device, install rates are low and your team ships weekly.
- 06
Hybrid wrappers - caution
WebView-only wrappers often fail App Store review and frustrate users; use only with clear criteria.

Mobile commerce, answered
Do I need a native app, or is a PWA enough?
Depends on retention. If repeat-purchase rate is high and you can sustain push-driven lifecycle, native pays off. If you're acquiring new buyers from search/social with low repeat behavior, a fast PWA usually outperforms a half-finished app.
Can the app share logic with my website?
Yes - when both are powered by a headless commerce backend, business rules (pricing, promotions, inventory, loyalty) live in one place and both surfaces stay consistent.
Which payment wallets do you support in-app?
Apple Pay, Google Pay, Mada (native and hosted), STC Pay, Tabby, Tamara, Apple Pay-on-the-web fallback for PWA, plus card vaulting for repeat checkout.
How do you handle App Store and Play Store review?
We prep the listing, privacy manifests, age ratings, content guidelines and walk through review cycles. Most retail apps clear review in the first or second submission with our checklist.
How long does a mobile build take?
A focused MVP for one platform: 8-12 weeks. Cross-platform with React Native: 12-16 weeks. Native iOS + Android in parallel: 16-24 weeks depending on integrations.
