Services

Design and code, no hand-off gap

App care · fixed prices

Already have an iPhone app? I fix it and look after it.

For apps that crash, lock people out, haven’t shipped in a year, or were built with AI and started breaking. You talk to the engineer who does the work.

  1. 01 — Start here

    Health Check

    $750 fixed · 3 working days

    I reproduce the problems your users report, read the crash reports and the code, and send a written report: each cause, ranked by what it costs you, with a fixed price to fix it. The $750 comes off the fix if you go ahead.

  2. 02 — Then

    Fix Sprint

    from $2,000 fixed quote · 1–2 weeks

    Everything in the report, fixed and released on the App Store. The quote is the price. Anything new gets its own quote.

  3. 03 — Ongoing

    Care Plan

    from $1,500 a month · 3-month minimum

    iOS and SDK updates, crash monitoring, a release every month and small fixes, so it doesn’t break again. Larger plans add features and faster replies.
