Vokap is live on the App Store

We ship our own apps.
Then we build yours.

BettaDev is an independent app studio. We design, build and publish apps under our own name, and take on a small number of client projects with the same process, the same tools and the same standards.

Vokap on iPhone: a 5 by 5 letter board with the word STAND found

Our apps

We fund, design, build and run them ourselves. Real users, real reviews, real revenue. The store is our report card, and everything it teaches us goes into client work.

Your app

From the first brief to the store listing: product design, iOS, Android and web builds, store submission, ads and in-app purchases. One team, no handoffs.

Studio apps

Made and run by us.

How we built Vokap

Client launches sit on this shelf too, with permission.

For clients

Everything it takes to put an app in the store, and keep it there.

Not a theory of how apps get made. The exact process we used to ship our own, applied to yours.

01

Product design

Discovery, user flows and a prototype you can hold in your hand before any production code exists.

RESEARCH · FLOWS · PROTOTYPE
02

Interface & system

Type, colour, motion and components, delivered as a system that lives in the codebase.

UI · DESIGN SYSTEM · MOTION
03

Build

Native-feeling iOS and Android apps, a web version when it helps, and the backend behind them.

REACT NATIVE · SWIFTUI · KOTLIN · NODE
04

Launch & growth

Store listing, review, localization, ads and in-app purchases. The parts most studios hand back to you.

ASO · ADMOB · IAP · ANALYTICS

Already solved in production

The hard parts are things we have shipped, not things we would research on your budget.

  • Real-time multiplayer duels
  • Daily puzzles and seasonal leagues
  • In-app purchases
  • Rewarded ads with server-side verification
  • Store listings in 27 languages
  • Over-the-air updates without a new build
  • App Review, rejections and expedited releases
  • GDPR consent and App Privacy forms
