The team behind your Lagos mobile app
Product strategists, mobile designers and senior iOS and Android engineers, all on one accountable squad.
The Lagos mobile app development partner that ships to the App Store and Google Play.
Lagos is part of Africa's largest mobile-first market, where Flutterwave, Paystack, OPay, PalmPay and Kuda all built mobile-first products that defined the continent. To win the home-screen here you need an app that loads fast, looks native, survives App Store review, and scales as your install base grows. That's exactly what Dafe Software builds.
Launch in 8 to 16 weeks
Your Lagos mobile app goes from kickoff to Google Play (primary) & App Store in one quarter or two, depending on whether you choose native or cross-platform.
One accountable squad
A senior PM, mobile designer and 2 to 4 iOS and Android engineers focused exclusively on your build. No agency hand-offs, no junior bait-and-switch.
App Store-ready code
Tested, instrumented, CI/CD-ready code that passes Apple and Google review the first time, with crash-free release tracks and rollback plans.
Investor-ready
We harden your Lagos mobile app for the next round, with analytics, retention dashboards and a credible scaling story for App Store and Google Play growth.
Mobile-grade security
Biometric auth, secure enclave storage, certificate pinning and Nigeria-specific compliance baked into every release, not bolted on later.
Fixed-scope contracts
Transparent pricing, milestone-based payments and full source-code and IP ownership transferred to you.
From idea to App Store in four sprints
A proven, repeatable mobile-delivery process refined across 50+ shipped iOS and Android apps. The same playbook we'll run on your Lagos build.
Discovery & platform pick
Founder interviews, Lagos market validation, a native-vs-cross-platform recommendation and a fixed-price proposal in one week.
Mobile UX & prototyping
Mobile flows, native-feel wireframes and a clickable Figma prototype your stakeholders and TestFlight beta testers can actually use.
iOS & Android sprints
Weekly TestFlight and internal-track Google Play builds, transparent Linear/Jira boards and reviewable code from sprint one.
App Store launch & iterate
Submission to Google Play (primary) & App Store, ASO setup, analytics wiring, crash monitoring and a 30-day post-launch warranty.
