Mobile app development in Malaysia

What it is and who it is for

A mobile app lives on your customer's phone, or your team's, and brings them back without a search or a link. CodaMinds handles mobile app development in Malaysia from the first screen to the store listings, with the back end that keeps the app running. It suits a business whose customers return often, need an account or pay inside the app, and a team that works away from a desk. We are a small studio in Kuala Lumpur, building apps and websites since 2016. We operate a live app with chat, payments and payouts every day, and we build our own app, iPets, which is in beta. The person you message designs and builds your app. At launch, the app and its accounts are handed over in your name. We are based in Kuala Lumpur and work with businesses anywhere: the brief, the draft and the launch all happen over WhatsApp and a link, so distance never matters.

What you get

• One app for iOS and Android
• A web version of the app for users on a computer
• The back end: accounts, real-time chat, payments and payouts
• Push notifications and background workers that run each day
• Admin tools so your team can manage users and content
• Beta releases so testers can try the app before launch
• Store listings prepared and submitted for you

What decides the cost

An app's price follows the number of screens, whether users need accounts and payments, whether it runs on iOS and Android or just one, and how much lives on a server behind it. A web version and admin tools add to the scope. We reply with a fixed quote before work begins, and anything beyond that scope is quoted first.

What the fixed quote includes

• A written scope of screens, user roles and server features
• One price, approved before any build work
• A draft of the key screens to review on your phone
• Testing on real iOS and Android phones
• Beta builds for your own testers before release
• The store listings and the first release
• Source files and accounts handed over in your name

How it runs

1. Brief. You explain who will use the app and what they need to do in it. We reply with questions and a written scope. 2. Fixed quote. You approve the scope or change what goes into the first release. We send a single price, and nothing is built until you agree. 3. Draft approval. You tap through the key screens on your phone. We refine the design with your content until you approve it. 4. Build and test. You send the final text, images and test accounts. We build the app and its back end, test on real phones and share beta builds. 5. Launch and support. You decide when the app goes to the stores. We submit the listings, hand everything over and stay reachable by message.
