1250 S Los Angeles St, Los Angeles, CA 90015AppMakers USA builds mobile apps from Los Angeles, with teams in Santa Monica, New York, and San Diego. We have been building apps for over ten years, from 30-day MVPs for LA founders to multi-year enterprise builds.
The proof is observable. We hold a verified rating across 95 client reviews on Clutch, our apps ship to the App Store and Google Play under real brand names, and the portfolio spans consumer, enterprise, and Fortune 500 work.
When you hire an LA app developer, the question to ask is what they have actually shipped. Below is ours.
The LA office covers our full app development stack. Below is the subset LA clients hire us for most often. Each links to the deeper service page with our process and pricing structure for that work.
Native iOS builds in Swift and SwiftUI for LA consumer brands and enterprise teams.
iOS app developmentNative Android builds in Kotlin for Play Store consumer apps and enterprise deployments.
Android app developmentReact Native and Flutter for teams that need one codebase across iOS and Android. We walk you through the trade-offs before the first sprint, not after.
mobile app developmentRescue and stabilization for an app stuck after a previous team. Code audit and a clear rebuild-or-rescue call in the first week.
Fix Your AppMost of our portfolio ships under NDA. Below are builds we can name publicly, each a live App Store listing you can open right now. If you want a private walkthrough of case studies in your category, that happens on the discovery call.
We have built at scale for Walmart grocery, FREENOW mobility in Europe, and the italki language marketplace. That scale informs how we architect any LA enterprise build today. See the full portfolio.
Our rating is not a number we picked. It comes from independent review platforms where past clients rate the work. Switch between them below.
Clutch confirms every review through a recorded client interview, so the rating is not self-reported. The reviews come from founders and teams who have actually shipped with us.

Most LA app builds run from roughly $40,000 for a focused MVP to $250,000 or more for a multi-platform product with deep integrations. We set the price in the discovery phase, based on the sprint plan, and hold it through the build. We do not chase the meter on hourly contracts.
A 30-day MVP is a fixed 30-day scope. A full custom build runs from about three months to twelve months, depending on how many platforms you need, the feature scope, and how deep the integrations go. The discovery call surfaces a realistic timeline before you sign anything.
Ask what the firm has actually shipped, and confirm you can open those apps in the App Store today. Ask whether senior product leadership is US-based and reachable. Ask how they price and whether the number can move mid-build. A local firm also means time-zone-aligned standups and the option to meet in person when a decision benefits from a whiteboard.
Yes. We build AI features into client apps, ship apps that have AI at their core, and maintain apps with AI components in production. We also use AI tools internally to ship faster, which shortens the build cycle without changing the deliverable.
Our Fix Your App service covers exactly that. A previous team's codebase, a stalled build, or a stability problem at scale. We start with a code audit and a gap analysis in the first week, then give you a clear rebuild-or-rescue recommendation with cost and timeline attached.
Yes. We work under NDA by default, and most of our portfolio ships under one. We can sign your NDA or send you ours before the first detailed conversation about your product.
Senior product and engineering leadership is US-based, across our Los Angeles, Santa Monica, New York, and San Diego offices. You work with people in your time zone rather than handing the project to an overseas team overnight.
You do. On a standard engagement the client owns the source code and the intellectual property, and we hand over the full repository at the end of the build. The specifics are written into the agreement before work starts.
Yes. We submit to the stores and then stay on for the post-launch stabilization period that most teams underbudget. After that we offer ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and feature work on a schedule that fits the product.
Yes. Our LA office is at 1250 S Los Angeles St in the Fashion District. Being local means in-person working sessions when a decision benefits from a whiteboard, plus standups that run in your time zone instead of overnight.
If you are an LA founder, a CTO at an LA company, or a brand looking for an app partner, the discovery call is the first step. The call is patient. We listen for the constraint underneath the brief and come back with a clear path. There is no pitch deck and no sales pressure.
