Tolaron · Prague, Czech Republic

Mobile app development for iOS and Android.

We build mobile apps for the products and APIs your business already runs, as well as new products built around a mobile app.

What do you need the app to change?

#digitalproduct · for founders and product teams

A first mobile product

For founders and product teams preparing an MVP, the first usable version of the product: start with the main task the user needs to complete in it. We show you a free preview of roughly what the app could look like. Then we design and build the app and the web app that goes with it; what is needed on the server side is agreed within the project scope.

Discuss a new product

What could your users do in the app?

Examples of possible scope. The tasks and integrations depend on your product.

  • Find contracts and documents

    Give customers a clear view of their contracts and the documents they need.

  • Send a request with photos

    Let users describe what they need sorted, or report a claim, and attach photos from their phone.

  • Follow progress

    Show the current status and what the customer needs to do next.

  • Approve on the move

    Help your team review and approve requests away from their desks.

The work behind our experience

Founder’s experience before Tolaron

A mobile app for a payment institution

Five years at a UK FCA-authorised payment institution, from merchant onboarding to transactions and settlements. Zdeněk worked as a senior mobile developer and team lead.

Project details

Owned product · in development

Monivero: company checks

A company number becomes a reviewable case, with sources for the data and visible gaps. We are building Monivero for compliance teams; it is not yet available to customers.

Project details

Already have a product? Read what your API needs before mobile app development.

Agree together what the app does and what it connects to

  1. Discovery and design

    First we clarify the project’s scope and check that working together makes sense for both sides. We show you a free concept preview of roughly what the app could look like, not a working MVP. Then together we define the users and their main tasks, the first usable release, the screens and the acceptance criteria.

  2. Backend and integrations

    Backend development is not a standard service. For an existing product, we build on your API and need someone on your side who can explain and change the backend. For a new product, or where the API falls short, what the app needs on the server side is agreed within the project scope, and an existing product is never replaced or rebuilt. For data access, authentication and third-party integrations, it must be clear who is responsible for what.

  3. Release and upkeep

    We release the app on the App Store and Google Play. Testing, store accounts and handover are agreed before launch. Upkeep, meaning fixes and security updates, and later improvements are set up to fit the project.

Who works on your project?

Zdeněk Dolák leads the project and is your contact throughout our work together. Where needed, we bring in specialists from other fields; which ones, and how much, is agreed for your project.

Support and monitoring after launch

Maintenance, support and responsibility for incidents are agreed for each project. To track the app’s errors and performance, we can use Sentry, for example. Together we decide what to monitor, who receives alerts and how issues are handled.

Technology

React Native, Expo and TypeScript.

React Native lets an iOS and Android app share application code. It suits apps whose users do the same tasks on both platforms. Platform-specific behaviour still needs implementation and testing on each platform.

The technology should fit the product. If a project depends on specialist hardware, demanding graphics or an existing native codebase, those constraints belong in the initial technical discussion.

  • iOS
  • Android
  • TypeScript
  • React Native
  • Expo / EAS
  • Next.js
  • Supabase
  • PostgreSQL
  • Vercel
  • GitHub Actions
  • Playwright
  • Sentry

More questions? Write to hello@tolaron.com.

Can one application support both iOS and Android?

Yes. React Native supports shared application code across iOS and Android, with platform-specific code where needed. Both versions still need testing and their own release process.

Can the app connect to our current backend?

Yes, and for an existing product that is where we start. Tell us what your API supports, how users sign in and who can make backend changes. Where the API falls short, we agree within the project what the app needs; we never replace or rebuild your product.

How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

Cost depends on scope: the number and complexity of user journeys, design readiness, API quality, integrations, offline behaviour, testing and release requirements. That is why we have no standard price list. We estimate against the agreed scope and bill the work actually done, up to a budget cap agreed in advance. Any increase to the cap needs your approval first.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

It depends on scope: the user journeys, design and API readiness, integrations, offline behaviour, testing and the App Store and Google Play release. So we do not promise a standard launch date. The MVP is limited to the user’s main task. If you must hit a fixed date, put it in the brief along with the reason.

Do you work with fintech and payments companies?

Yes, fintech is one of the industries we focus on. Tolaron founder Zdeněk Dolák gained experience in financial services, payments, compliance and customer onboarding in the UK. We can take responsibility for apps whose main purpose is payment. Describe the intended transactions, backend and SDK dependencies. Security requirements, regulatory review and the responsibilities of each party are agreed for the project.

How does working with a Prague partner remotely work?

We work in Czech and English. Founder Zdeněk Dolák leads the project and is your contact; other developers join as the project needs and capacity allow. Before starting, agree the people responsible for product decisions and backend changes, how feedback will be shared, and meeting times that work across your locations.

Send enough context for a useful conversation.

A short summary is enough to start. We will discuss whether we can help, what the app needs to connect to, and what we need to estimate scope, cost and timing.

  1. Who will use the app and what they need to get done in it.
  2. Whether it is a new app or further development of an existing one, with public links if available.
  3. Which systems or APIs the app must connect to, and who is responsible for them.
  4. The platforms, priorities, target timing and any budget constraints.
