Services
Everything it takes to ship, end to end.
One team across design, engineering and QA — no handoffs, no gaps between the idea and the release.
01
Product & design
Research, user flows and interface design — shaped alongside engineering, so what gets designed is what actually ships.
02
iOS development
Native Swift apps built for the latest iPhone and iPad — fast, fluid and right at home on Apple platforms.
03
Android development
Kotlin apps engineered for the full range of Android devices, from flagships to the phones your users actually carry.
04
Backend & APIs
Scalable services, real-time sync and clean APIs that keep your app fast and reliable as it grows.
05
QA & testing
Automated and hands-on testing across devices so every release ships stable, not just shipped.
06
Maintenance & support
OS updates, monitoring and steady improvements long after launch — we stay on the team.
Our Work
Products we've helped bring to life.
On most of these we worked as part of a larger product team, embedded alongside the client's own engineers and designers rather than delivering at arm's length.

How We Work
No surprises, from first call to store release.
The same shape every time, whether it's a new app or a team you need reinforcing. It starts within a few days of your first message.
Scope
A call, then a written scope: what we're building, what we're deliberately leaving out, and what it takes to get there. You have that in writing before any code exists.
Design
Flows and screens in short cycles, so you're reacting to something real on a device rather than to a document.
Build
Two-week increments, each ending in a build you can install and use. Nothing is saved up for a reveal at the end.
Release & support
We handle store submission and the review back-and-forth, then stay on for OS updates, monitoring and whatever ships next.
About Us
We're a small, senior team that treats every app like our own product.
Dava started with a simple belief: great mobile products come from tight teams who stay close to the work. No layers, no outsourced black boxes — just designers and engineers who've shipped, sitting at the same table.
We care about the details users feel but rarely name: the weight of an animation, the speed of a first launch, the calm of a well-made screen. That's the standard we hold every release to.
