Apps built to scale alongside your ambitions.
Talk The Taste designs and builds native iOS, Android and React Native apps for Dubai businesses — from first MVP to a full production launch, with the same team handling design, development and App Store submission.
From first prototype to store submission.
iOS & Android Native Development
Fully native builds when performance-critical features — camera, sensors, real-time processing — need direct platform access.
React Native Cross-Platform Apps
One codebase powering both iOS and Android for most business apps, cutting build and maintenance cost without cutting quality.
MVP Prototyping & User Testing
A scoped-down first version built to validate the core idea with real users before committing to the full feature set.
Backend & Admin Dashboards
API, database and an admin panel for managing users, content or orders, built as part of the same project.
App Store & Play Store Launch
Store listings, screenshots, privacy disclosures and the submission process handled on both platforms.
Post-Launch Maintenance
An optional retainer covering OS updates, bug fixes and minor feature additions after launch.
Timelines that match the scope, not a flat quote.
Discovery & scoping (Week 1–2)
Feature list, user flows and technical architecture agreed before a line of code is written.
Design (Weeks 2–4)
Key screens designed and reviewed with you, so the build phase has no open design questions.
Development (Weeks 4–10)
Sprints with a staging build you can test on your own device throughout, not just at the end.
Launch & submission
Store submission, final QA across devices, and a handover of anything you'll manage yourself.
The right technology depends on what the app actually needs to do.
React Native for most business apps
One codebase for iOS and Android means faster development and lower long-term maintenance cost. It's the right default for booking apps, marketplaces, content apps and most customer-facing products.
Native for performance-critical features
We recommend fully native development when the app depends heavily on device-specific performance — real-time camera processing, complex animations, or deep integration with platform-specific hardware.
Backend architecture that scales
Every app ships with a Node.js (or equivalent) backend and database designed for the load you expect at launch, with a clear path to scale as usage grows rather than needing a rebuild at 10,000 users.
An on-demand delivery platform from MVP to launch.
"We designed and built a full-featured on-demand delivery platform from the ground up — native iOS and Android apps, a merchant dashboard, and a driver app. The platform launched with 12 restaurant partners and processed over 1,000 orders in its first month."
How much does app development cost in Dubai?
An MVP typically starts from AED 25,000–50,000 depending on feature scope and platform count. A full-featured app with backend and integrations usually runs AED 60,000 upward — we scope a fixed price after a requirements call.
Questions Dubai businesses ask before building an app.
How much does it cost to build an app in Dubai?
An MVP typically starts from AED 25,000–50,000. A full-featured app with backend and integrations usually runs AED 60,000 upward.
Should I build native or React Native?
React Native suits most business apps well. We recommend native only for apps that depend heavily on device-specific performance.
How long does app development take?
An MVP typically takes eight to twelve weeks. Apps with a custom backend or real-time features usually take three to five months.
Do you handle App Store submission?
Yes, we prepare listings and handle submission and review on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
What happens after the app launches?
An optional maintenance plan covers OS updates and bug fixes, though it's not required to keep the app running.
Can you build the backend and admin dashboard too?
Yes, most apps include a backend, database and admin dashboard built as part of the same project.
