Mobile App Development

Native or Cross platform?

The best of both worlds

We develop both native and cross-platform mobile apps. Wondering which is right for your project? Generally we suggest cross platform as they reach a wider audience, are more cost effective for you to build and can easily achieve the look, feel and performance of native apps. And we can create plugins that can tap into native functionality if required. Slack, Teams, Spotify, Basecamp, VSCode and Figma all rely on this cross platform technology approach.

If you need a native app for any reason, that's no problem at all. Our main focus is working with you to create the best solution for your situation.

Pre-built component library

Speed and Agility

With a pre-designed and pre-built component library, we can start quickly and speed up the delivery of your mobile app project.

Our library consists of all of the components you will have seen and used in the majority of apps on your own phone from simple buttons and sliders to full processes, like sign-up, onboarding and purchasing processes.

These components are tuned ready for use on mobile taking full advantage of haptic vibrations and other device specific nuggets that take apps to the next level.

Their attention to detail and ability to break down complex content into digestible, engaging visuals is exactly what we needed.

Each meeting brought real progress and meaningful change, and the team dynamic was warm, collaborative, and easy to work with.

From the very first interaction, New Icon stood out. Their combination of clear, concise documentation and an explanatory video was genius—it gave us immediate clarity and confidence. The Discovery process, especially the Agile Architecture, felt like a genuine offer to help, not a hard sell. Each meeting brought real progress and meaningful change, and the team dynamic was warm, collaborative, and easy to work with. The use of Figma to showcase their design-led approach was impressive, and the achievable PoC cost made things feel within reach. One of the biggest wins? We retained the IP. That was huge. New Icon didn’t just understand our problems, they explained them back to us better than we could ourselves. That alone gave us massive trust in the team and the process. "

New lcon’s deliverables have exceeded our expectations.

We would like to thank the New Icon team for the work accomplished. OnePRESS will be the first wireless safety critical opportunity that will use a mobile application to go to an In-Service Evaluation with Airbus airline customers. As such, there was no precedent for the Landing Gear Design Office to start from. Newicon quickly understood that their expertise could complement our capability to compile design documentation and adapted their process to suit our needs. New lcon’s deliverables have exceeded our expectations. "

Newicon understood our needs, ensuring solutions were current and future-proofed

Ethicall have worked with Newicon for approximately 10 years. During this time Newicon have worked with us on various projects, but predominantly they have helped us design and build a bespoke telephone fundraising software system which encompasses all the nuanced and niche elements of our business. They really took the time to understand what we needed as a fundraising call centre and then constantly revisited this with us to ensure it was still fit for purpose and future proof. The engineers working on the project have always been mindful of building in stages with regular testing and approval from users – they are also able to communicate in non-technical speak – which is always useful for those of us not from a technical background. Newicon’s recent introduction of project managers has enhanced their services further. "

Cristy Cunnick
Managing Director - Ethicall

Newicon consistently exceeds expectations, driving innovation as a seamless extension of our business.

Newicon’s ability to over deliver against our expectations and to help drive our innovation has made them an extension of our own business. The team are excellent to work with, and their passion for our business competes with our own. I would recommend Newicon for both your development and design needs. "

Dr.Rishi Das Gupta
Co-founder - NodeNs

You've done an amazing job of taking our concept and actualising it into something much more real!

This process has cemented our concepts into requirements, plans and something much easier to step forward with, both internally and as something we can tell the story to others. We've been particularly impressed with how you've taken a fairly niche topic and run with detailed concepts and clearly understood what we are aiming for! "

Luke Stonehouse
Analytics Consultant - Reuleaux

We're miles ahead of where I expected us to be at this stage, and we've all really appreciated the effort you've put in.

Everyone is really, really happy and pleased with what you've put together, blown away! We love the simplicity of the prototype. "

Darkbeam
Senior Front-End Developer - Darkbeam

The project is well thought through, smartly taking into account every little request we had. Which is amazing, I love that!

I've been using the prototype to pitch the idea with potential clients and the feedback has been really good so far. "

Business Development Manager - Digital Engineering

We really love the overall look of this

It's a very clean simple interface which still clearly conveys a lot of really important information, so thank you! "

FSD Active
CTO - FSD Active

Very happy with the end results and designs for the new features

New Icons redesigns brought the app layout up to date which was amazing to implement over the last year alongside integrating new products into the app. Meeting face-to-face meant that New Icon could properly understand the requirements and turn them into fully functional designs that added to the overall user experience. Very happy with the end results and designs for the new features. "
