Mobile is where your customers spend their time. Whether you need a client-facing app to grow your business, an internal tool to streamline operations, or a full consumer product for the App Store and Google Play — Digi7s delivers polished, high-performance mobile applications built specifically for the UAE market.
The UAE Mobile Opportunity
The UAE has one of the world’s highest smartphone penetration rates — over 97% of the population owns a smartphone. Mobile apps are not optional extras for UAE businesses; they are primary business channels. From property portals to healthcare booking apps to loyalty programmes for retail brands, the UAE’s appetite for well-built mobile experiences is enormous.
What We Build
Native iOS Apps (Swift) — Built specifically for Apple’s platform, delivering the performance, polish, and App Store approval rates that native development provides. Ideal for premium consumer apps targeting UAE’s affluent iPhone user base.
Native Android Apps (Kotlin) — Fully optimised for Android’s diverse device landscape. We have direct experience with specialist SDKs including Insta360 camera integration for construction and real estate applications.
React Native Cross-Platform — One codebase, two stores. When speed-to-market or budget is a priority, React Native delivers 90% of the native experience at significantly lower cost and development time.
Field Worker & B2B Apps — Specialised enterprise applications for teams working on-site. Offline-first architecture, background sync, push notifications, and role-based access control.
Customer-Facing Consumer Apps — E-commerce apps, booking systems, loyalty platforms, and marketplace apps with Arabic and English language support and UAE-specific payment integrations.
Our App Development Process
Discovery & UX Architecture: Before writing a single line of code, we map every user journey. We create wireframes showing exactly how users will navigate the app, where friction points occur, and how to eliminate them. For UAE audiences, we pay particular attention to Arabic RTL (right-to-left) layout requirements and cultural UX preferences.
UI Design: Our designers create a complete visual design system for the app — every screen, every state, every micro-interaction. You get a clickable prototype you can test on a real device before development begins.
Agile Development: Development runs in two-week sprints with demo sessions at the end of each. You see real progress continuously, not a black box that opens after eight weeks.
Testing & QA: We test on real devices covering the most common screen sizes and OS versions in the UAE market. We run performance tests, crash analytics, and user flow testing before any submission.
App Store & Google Play Submission: We handle the full submission process including app store optimisation (ASO) — crafting descriptions and keywords that maximise organic discovery in the UAE App Store and Google Play.
Post-Launch Support: Apps need ongoing maintenance as operating systems update. Our support plans keep your app running smoothly, with priority bug fixes and compatibility updates included.
Specialisations for UAE Industries
We have deep experience building apps for UAE’s most active sectors: real estate (property search, virtual tours, agent tools), construction (site inspection, document management, progress tracking), healthcare (appointment booking, patient portals, telemedicine), hospitality (booking engines, loyalty programmes, concierge apps), and retail (e-commerce, loyalty cards, push notification marketing).
