Mobile App Testing
iOS and Android testing on real devices, with Appium, Detox or Maestro for automation. Native, React Native and hybrid apps, before the store sees them.
Fixed projects typically start from about £3,950 (approx. $5,150 USD) for one app on both stores: typically four real devices, login and the money path, permissions and network drops, a store checklist, and smoke automation in Appium, Detox or Maestro that you keep. A full regression suite in CI or a wide device matrix is quoted separately.
What we test
Playwright is for web. Store apps need a different runner. We test iOS and Android on real devices, not only simulators: functional flows, permissions, backgrounding, network drops, and store-checklist work. Automation uses Appium for mixed native fleets, Detox for React Native CI, and Maestro for smoke flows. VoiceOver and TalkBack sit with that when accessibility is in scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Fixed projects typically start from about £3,950 (approx. $5,150 USD) for one app on both stores: an agreed real-device set (typically four), critical journeys, a store checklist, and smoke automation in Appium, Detox or Maestro. Published cross-platform Appium packages elsewhere often sit around $5,000. Cheap fixed cycles from a few hundred dollars usually mean a handful of devices and no automation. A full CI suite, a 15-device matrix, or a deep VoiceOver and TalkBack pass is quoted higher.
- Both, but real devices are our default for final validation. Simulators are useful for rapid iteration during development, but real devices catch issues that simulators mask, particularly around performance, gesture handling, and hardware-specific behaviour.
- We test against the latest two major iOS versions and the latest three major Android versions by default, covering the majority of active devices. We can expand coverage to match your analytics if needed.
- Yes. Native and mixed fleets typically use Appium. React Native CI often uses Detox. Short smoke flows can be Maestro. Suites run in CI/CD on simulators, then on real devices via BrowserStack or your farm. Exploratory and store-checklist work stays manual.
- Yes. We test against WCAG mobile criteria including touch target sizes, screen reader compatibility (VoiceOver on iOS, TalkBack on Android), colour contrast, and focus order. This is especially important for apps serving healthcare, public sector, or financial audiences.
