Mobile apps for Fălticeni businesses — iOS and Android that get the job done
Not every business in Fălticeni needs a mobile app — but if your clients make repetitive orders, appointments or wait for confirmations on their phone, an app changes everything. I build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, with backend included, App Store and Google Play publishing. From 7,000 RON, 3–5 weeks standard. I delivered colet.app, my own courier management platform that processes over 1,000 orders a week.
The real problem: your Fălticeni clients want to order from their phone, not call
Pause for a second and think about a regular day at your business. How many calls a day with 'I'd like to order…', 'are you still open today?', 'when does my product arrive?'. How many of them get forgotten by the time you're back at your desk, how many do you write down wrong, how many you miss because you're calling someone else and the client doesn't leave a message. In Fălticeni, businesses that take orders by phone lose between 10% and 30% of clients just from missed calls, chaotic schedules and incomplete orders. A well-built mobile app fixes exactly that — the client orders from their phone, you receive a structured request in writing, with every detail in its place.
A mobile app isn't for every business — and it's only fair to say so before you spend a cent. If you have a corner shop with 5 clients a day, you don't need an app. If you have a clinic with the occasional phone appointment, a website with a form is enough. But if you're a business with repetitive orders, regular appointments, deliveries or services that involve status and notifications, an app takes phone calls out of the equation and puts orders straight into your pipeline — structured, error-free, accessible from anywhere.
Types of Fălticeni businesses that genuinely benefit from a mobile app: medical clinics and dental practices with appointments (look at how TrifMed did it with the website — the next logical step is an appointments app); guesthouses and hotels with direct bookings (instead of Booking commissions); transport, taxi or courier firms (with real-time tracking and order status); home delivery services (food, products, materials); workshops and trades that take repeat requests (auto mechanics, plumbers, electricians with appointments); shops with loyal clients who reorder regularly. If you're in one of these categories, an app can cut half your phone work and bring in orders that would never arrive through any other channel.
The biggest objection I hear: 'but it costs a lot, and my clients are older — they won't use it'. Half true, half myth. For clients over 60, yes — an app doesn't help, and you keep the landline for them. For clients between 25 and 55, who in Fălticeni today are the majority of active buyers, an app is exactly what they expect. Their smartphone is in their hand 8 hours a day. If your business can't send them an order from their home screen, they'll send it to the business that can. Plus, a well-designed app doesn't replace the phone — it complements it. People who want to call, call. People who prefer the app, order from it.
An app isn't a one-week project, and it isn't free. But it isn't expensive either, if you build it sensibly. From 7,000 RON I deliver complete iOS and Android apps with backend (database, authentication, API), App Store and Google Play publishing, and training for you and your team. For more complex platforms, with serious business logic (like colet.app), the price scales with scope and is discussed at requirements analysis. Whatever the scope, the rule is one: I don't build apps that don't make sense. If at the first conversation I see no real value an app can bring you, I'll tell you straight not to do it.
What you get in the mobile app package
The standard package starts from 7,000 RON and includes everything you need to have a live app in the App Store and Google Play. For complex platforms with serious business logic, the list expands after requirements analysis.
iOS and Android apps from the same codebase
I write the code once (React Native or Capacitor, depending on the project) and we get two native apps — one for iPhone, one for Android. Lower cost than two separate projects, same quality on both platforms.
Complete backend included
Database, API, user authentication, admin panel. Everything server-side is included — no separate hosting purchase, no second developer for the server.
Push notifications
Instant notifications for order status, confirmations, appointment reminders, offers. The client sees the notification on the lock screen, without opening the app. Essential for apps with orders or appointments.
App Store and Google Play publishing
I handle the entire publishing process: app description, screenshots, icons, Apple and Google forms, paying the publishing fees (Apple $99/year, Google $25 one-time) — included or invoiced separately, your choice.
Web admin panel
Access to a web panel where you manage everything: see orders, manage users, export reports, change prices or hours. You don't need to be a programmer to use it — it's built like a regular web page.
Integrations on demand
WhatsApp Business, Google Maps for routing, online payments (Stripe, Mobilpay), e-invoicing, e-Factura. Added only if the project genuinely needs them — no features that complicate things unnecessarily.
Team training and written guide
After launch I train you and your team on how to use the app and the panel. Plus a step-by-step written guide for the most frequent actions. Full handover, not a dry code drop.
30 days free support + optional maintenance
30 days of free support after launch for small adjustments and quick fixes. After that, maintenance is 280 RON/month for an app without backend, or a tailored package for apps with complex backend.
Bonus on demand: I can also build a complementary WhatsApp Business or SMS notification system, a separate panel for drivers or couriers, or an advanced reporting module — discussed at requirements analysis.
Transparent pricing
App pricing depends on scope. For the standard package you have a fixed starting figure. For complex platforms you receive a written quote after the initial discussion and requirements analysis.
Why me, not a Bucharest agency
Mobile apps are expensive — if you choose poorly. Here's what you get working with me, instead of a capital-city agency or an online firm that subcontracts the app to Bangladesh.
I'm based in Fălticeni
I live here. For local projects we can meet weekly in person — at your business, over coffee in the center, or on Google Meet when it's just an adjustment. I know your clients because we're from the same town.
I build alone, I don't subcontract
I write the code myself, accelerated by Claude Code and modern tooling. That means I answer questions directly, not through an intermediate manager, and any change happens in hours, not weeks of back-and-forth with a 5-person team.
Modern stack, lower cost
I use React Native or Capacitor (a single codebase for iOS and Android), Supabase for the backend, integration with Google or AWS cloud services. A modern stack that makes the project fast and easy to maintain. You don't pay double for two separate native apps.
Real experience on complex apps
colet.app — my own courier management platform — processes over 1,000 orders a week, with 5 order sources, a WhatsApp AI agent and Google Maps routing optimized for 25+ stops per route. Not a demo, not a student portfolio — a real platform, in production.
Real case: colet.app — proprietary platform
The most concrete example of a complex app I can show is colet.app — a proprietary platform I built from scratch for courier firms serving Romania-UK and EU routes. It's the kind of project that produces apps for any local industry in Fălticeni — orders, dispatch, tracking, reporting.
Courier firms operating international routes (RO-UK in particular) take orders on WhatsApp, write them manually in Excel, and drivers receive routes on paper or via SMS. Address errors, lost orders, tangled settlements, no visibility for the client. No system tying it all together.
A complete platform with three interfaces — admin (9 screens for order management, dispatch, financial reports), driver (3 screens for daily routes, package status, settlements), client (1 screen for package tracking and placing an order). Plus a WhatsApp AI agent that picks up messages and creates orders automatically, Google Maps routing optimized for 25+ stops per route, 100% financial management (settlements, arrears, weekly reports), new firm setup in under 30 minutes. Stack: React, TypeScript, Supabase, Capacitor, Claude Haiku for AI.
A platform in production with 5 order sources (admin, driver, firm website, client app, WhatsApp AI agent), over 1,000 orders processed weekly, 100% digitalized financial management. For the firms using the platform: zero lost orders, unified dispatch, full client visibility, automated weekly settlements. I can run a live platform demo before you decide whether for your Fălticeni business a similar app makes sense (simpler or more complex, as needed).
How I work — the process from idea to published app
App processes take longer than a website's, but they're just as clear and free of surprises. Here's how a typical project unfolds, from the first conversation to the moment the app is live in the App Store and Google Play.
Free initial conversation
30–45 minutes by phone, on Google Meet or over coffee in Fălticeni. You tell me about your business, what problem you're trying to solve with an app, who your clients are. I tell you straight whether an app makes sense or not — sometimes the answer is no, and that's fine.
Requirements analysis and written quote
If it's worth it, I look at your processes, the competition, what already exists on the market. In 2–3 days you get a written quote: what features it includes, what the main screens look like (mockups or wireframes), how long it takes, how much it costs. Still free, before any commitment.
Design and interactive prototype
Before code, I work the screen design in Figma or directly as a working prototype. You see exactly what the app looks like, click through it, give feedback. This is where ambiguities get solved, not after 3 weeks of development.
Phased development with weekly demos
I build the app in clear stages. Every week you get a working version you can install on your phone (TestFlight for iOS, APK for Android). Payment is staged — 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery.
Store publishing and training
I handle all the publishing paperwork: Apple Developer account, Google Play account, descriptions, screenshots, app review. After approval (1–7 days), the app is live. I train you and your team, you get a written guide, plus 30 days of free support.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a mobile app cost for my Fălticeni business?
From 7,000 RON for a standard app with iOS, Android, backend and store publishing. For complex platforms with serious logic (dispatch, routing, multi-user, multiple integrations), the price depends on scope and is discussed after requirements analysis — you get a written quote in 2–3 days, no vague estimates. Payment is 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery.
How long does development take?
Standard app with clear features: 3–5 weeks from confirmation to first live version. Complex platform with serious backend (like colet.app): 6–10 weeks. We start within 24–48h after I receive the deposit. App Store and Google Play approval can add 1–7 days to the timeline.
Does it work on iOS and Android?
Yes. I use React Native or Capacitor, which means I write the code once and we get two native apps — one for iPhone, one for Android. Lower cost, same quality on both platforms. If needed, we can also do a web version (PWA) that runs in the browser, with no store install.
Do I have an Apple Developer and Google Play account, or do you handle them?
I can handle everything (I create the accounts under your business, fill in the documentation, pay the fees — Apple $99/year mandatory, Google $25 one-time) or I can work on your existing accounts, if you have them. The accounts stay yours, not under my business — to avoid intellectual property issues.
What happens to the app after launch?
You get 30 days of free support for small adjustments and quick fixes. After that, monthly maintenance is optional — 280 RON/month for apps without backend, or a tailored package for apps with complex backend. Maintenance includes updates for new iOS and Android versions, server monitoring, small monthly adjustments.
Can I see the app working before the final payment?
Yes. Work is in stages, with weekly demos. Every week you get a working version on TestFlight (iOS) or APK (Android) that you install on your phone and try with your team. Payment is 50% on confirmation and 50% on delivery. If at any point you're not happy, we stop — you only pay for what's done.
