Frequently Asked Questions
QHow long does it take to develop a mobile app in Kuwait?
Development timelines depend on complexity. A simple app takes 6-10 weeks, a mid-complexity app 3-5 months, and a complex enterprise app 5-9 months. We follow agile sprints with regular demos so you see progress every week.
QDo you integrate with KNET and other Kuwait payment gateways?
Yes, we have extensive experience integrating KNET, Apple Pay, Tap Payments, and MyFatoorah into mobile apps. We handle the full integration process including sandbox testing, certification, and go-live support.
QShould I build a native or cross-platform app for Kuwait?
It depends on your requirements. Native apps (Swift/Kotlin) offer the best performance and platform-specific features. Cross-platform (React Native/Flutter) is more cost-effective for reaching both iOS and Android simultaneously. We recommend the best approach based on your budget and goals.
QDo your apps support full Arabic language and RTL layout?
Absolutely. All our apps are built with Arabic RTL support from day one. We design bilingual interfaces (Arabic/English) with proper text rendering, date formatting, and cultural localization for the Kuwaiti market.
QWhat happens after my app is launched?
We provide post-launch support including bug fixes, performance monitoring, OS updates compatibility, app store optimization (ASO), and feature enhancements. Our support plans range from 3 to 12 months, with options for ongoing maintenance contracts.
