Looking for an app agency in Berlin? Many options, many pitfalls.
If you’re looking for an app development agency in Berlin, you’re spoilt for choice. Numerous providers promise you great results and incredibly fast. We know your current challenge only too well from our customers.
Lack of
experience
For an app to inspire your customers or really optimise your internal processes, you need a partner with industry expertise. This partner should be familiar with common technologies in order to be able to advise you and develop smart solutions. Otherwise, you will end up with average apps and average success.
Lack of transparency
The best app development agencies in Berlin and Germany value transparency. They will provide you with transparent information about costs, timelines and your level of involvement before the project starts. They will not promise miracles, but will give you honest advice and deliver results as agreed.
Poor
communication
There are misunderstandings, delays and unexpected changes: You should be able to get an idea of how your potential app service provider communicates by talking to them and checking their references. We value reliable project management and high availability – especially on-site, at our Berlin location.
Lack of
innovation
The latest technologies are a must in app development. Only then will your apps run quickly and securely. This is the only way you can easily maintain, scale and adapt your apps to changing customer requirements. And only then can you get even more out of your applications by integrating new technology trends.
_Our services
App development is our speciality.
Axel Springer, Deutsche Bahn, Berlin Cathedral: as an app development agency from Berlin for Berlin, we have developed apps for many well-known capital city institutions in recent years. We have project experience in various industries and know which technologies deliver the best results in which use case. No matter how challenging your app project, you can be sure: Our experts will ensure a confident implementation.
Axel Springer, Deutsche Bahn, Berlin Cathedral: as an app development agency from Berlin for Berlin, we have developed apps for many well-known capital city institutions in recent years. We have project experience in various industries and know which technologies deliver the best results in which use case. No matter how challenging your app project, you can be sure: Our experts will ensure a confident implementation.
If you want your application to run perfectly on the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Apple TV, it must be developed natively for the iOS cosmos. We rely on Swift, the official Apple programming language, but are also proficient in older languages. Whether modernising your app or developing a new one: our iOS developers love a challenge.
With a market share of 70%, Android is the most popular operating system on the market. Apps run flexibly on different devices and functions can be implemented with little effort. We have carried out a large number of Android projects over the past few years and our team is always on top of the latest developments for you.
Time is of the essence? Is your budget tight? If so, then hybrid applications are clearly superior to native applications. Once implemented, hybrid apps will run on a variety of operating systems without requiring any further customisation. In the past, they were only suitable for simple use cases, but today they are on a par with native apps in many areas.
Do you need an app on the web without installation? Web apps run directly in the browser after logging in, regardless of the end device. Whether you offer a SaaS product, want to relieve your customer service with a self-service portal or have a completely different use case in mind – we will realise your web app requirements with confidence.
IoT-App
The potential of IoT should not be underestimated. Collecting data from your physical devices and analysing it intelligently in systems opens up completely new possibilities. However, developing IoT apps requires specialised knowledge. We have IoT experts in our team and offer you senior-level support.
_How we proceed
We turn ideas into successful apps. With a clear plan and 16+ years of experience.
As a Berlin-based app development agency, we accompany you step by step on the way to the go-live of your app. We value flexibility and cooperation on an equal footing: we decide together how to optimise our joint processes. The goal: a relaxed and efficient go-live of your app that exceeds all expectations.
01
Needs analysis
Are you considering whether an app could be worthwhile for your organisation? At the kick-off in our Schöneberg office, we analyse your goals and current situation and identify use cases with high potential. If you already have an idea, we will evaluate it strategically and for technical feasibility and define a clear catalogue of requirements. In the end, you will have everything you need to start the conceptualisation phase.
02
Conception & Design
Once your idea is ready, we go into detail: We develop your user stories together and ensure that your app contains all the functions that your users expect. And a few more. Our UX designers translate the functions into an intuitive design that reflects your brand identity and appeals to your users. You receive interactive mockups, which we use to refine in iterative sprints until you are completely satisfied.
03
Agile development
The centrepiece of your project: our developers translate the concept into code and bring the mockups to life. We manage the project and keep an eye on quality, costs and scheduling. As we work in agile sprints, you can also introduce change requests during this project phase without incurring excessive additional costs. We optimise until you are 100% satisfied.
04
Quality assurance
Users expect apps to run like clockwork. That’s why we integrate manual and automated tests into our development process right from the start. We not only check that everything runs smoothly, but also carry out security and UX checks. So that bugs don’t stand a chance and your app is completely convincing. Regardless of whether it’s a customer or employee app.
05
Roll-out
Quality, but quickly. Thanks to our experience and integrated methodology, we get your app online quickly, perhaps even earlier than agreed. That’s why we accompany you through the entire go-live. We make sure that everything runs smoothly and that you can operate your app independently in the future, if you wish. Because questions will still arise here and there in the first few weeks, we will remain closely at your side during this phase.
06
Operation & further development
After the project is before the support. At your request, we can take over the hosting and operation of your application. For hosting, we prefer to work with data centres in Germany in accordance with applicable EU regulations. We monitor the security and function of your app, ensure rapid troubleshooting and take care of maintenance and optimisation. You flexibly book the support you need. No more and no less.
_Our tech stack
App solutions are our passion as a Berlin app development agency
SPRYLAB was founded by two developers as a hub for tech enthusiasts. We are now a team of more than 70 experts who are passionate about digitalisation topics and new technologies. That’s why we can now draw on a wide range of tools and frameworks and successfully master even the most challenging app projects.
We create iOS apps using Swift, the programming language specially developed for Apple platforms. For app optimisations, we use Objective C and similar languages that were frequently used in the Apple cosmos in the past.
We stick to the proven official tools and platforms for Android development: Kotlin and Java as programming languages, Android Studio as development environment and the Android SDK to speed up the development process.
In the backend, for example, we use technologies such as Django, Nest and Node. For frontend development, we use Angular, Typescript and React. We also use the classic programming languages such as HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and Python.

_Frequently asked questions
FAQs about us as a Berlin app development agency
Can you also take over existing apps and develop them further?
Yes, as an app development agency from Berlin, we also develop existing apps further. However, the prerequisite is that the quality of the code base is high and the technologies used match ours or are future-proof and support the smooth operation of the app. Not just in the short term, but in the long term. After all, outdated technologies not only harbour disadvantages for performance, but also tangible security risks.
If you are interested in further developing your app, please contact us. We will then carry out a detailed analysis of your app and check whether the requirements for further development are met or whether a fundamental new development will bring greater economic benefits in the long term.
How long does it take to develop an app?
We can develop a simple app for you within months. Complex business apps, on the other hand, can take up to a year before they are ready for release. In addition to the complexity of the development, the customer's available resources also determine the time to go-live. If customers need a relatively long time for feedback rounds, a project will progress more slowly. The same applies if many change requests arise during the project.
If an app agency in Berlin or elsewhere advertises short project times of a few weeks, you can assume that they work with modular solutions and that your individual wishes can only be taken into account to a limited extent. Our focus is on the development of customised and innovative apps that require a little more work on your part. We can give you a rough estimate of how much time you need to plan for your app project after an initial consultation. Simply get in touch with us.
How much does it cost to develop an app?
The cost of developing your app varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project. As an app development agency from Berlin, we have focussed on demanding and complex app projects. We take on projects from a budget of 50,000 euros. We work exclusively with our in-house team to ensure the desired quality and consistency of development.
Our goal is cost transparency for you. That's why we prepare a customised quote following a comprehensive requirements analysis. So you know exactly what we are spending your budget on and what services you can expect.
When is a hybrid app more suitable for me and when is a native one?
In our experience as an app development agency from Berlin, hybrid apps are particularly suitable for companies looking for a cost-effective and fast app solution. As hybrid apps run on different platforms without having been developed natively for them, the project effort is significantly reduced.
Native apps are each developed for a specific platform. This means that if your company wants to be represented in both the Android and Apple universes, approximately twice the effort is required. The advantage of native development is that the apps achieve the best possible performance and stability and can take specific device functions into account.
Whether a native or hybrid app is the best choice depends on your specific requirements and goals. We will be happy to advise you in person at our app agency in Berlin or over the phone.
How do you ensure smooth integration with my existing systems?
We start every project with a precise analysis of the existing digital infrastructure including interfaces. Based on the results, as your app development agency in Berlin, we design your app to ensure seamless integration. We use compatible and future-proof technologies and carry out extensive tests during development to check that all integration points work perfectly and that your app runs flawlessly.
As an app agency from Berlin, we create detailed documentation for your internal managers so that you have full transparency about the what and how of the integration.
How do you ensure that the app is scalable?
Scalability is one of the basic requirements for an app today. Your new app should run quickly and efficiently, whether it is accessed by 1000 users or 10,000. As an app agency from Berlin, it is a matter of course for us to design apps with a backend optimised for scalability.
We use microservice architecture and modern cloud technologies such as Node.JS so that your app can easily scale vertically, horizontally or diagonally as required. We check the scalability via regular load tests during development and make adjustments until your app is easily able to cope with future requirements. Automations and monitoring systems ensure that your app offers a convincing user experience at all times during operation.
How do you deal with security and data protection?
We take data protection and data security very seriously and incorporate both into the design and development process from the outset. We implement robust security measures such as encryption, authentication and regular security updates to protect your app and the data stored in it. We also strictly adhere to applicable data protection laws such as the GDPR or even church data protection. We check the effectiveness of the security measures during development and, if required, are available as a partner for secure operation after the go-live.
How many developers are working on a project?
We always provide our customers with a central contact person. This project manager puts together the development team according to the specific requirements and ensures that the project progresses according to plan.
The number of developers involved depends on the size and complexity of the project. Depending on requirements, we may call in experts, for example for artificial intelligence or IoT. If you commission further development at a later date, we will endeavour to provide you with the same team. The developers are already familiar with your app, which speeds up implementation and you can rely on consistent quality. A win-win situation for both sides.
