App Maintenance & Support

Keep your app running smoothly with ongoing maintenance

Apps Need Ongoing Care

Launching an app isn't the end: it's the beginning. Mobile platforms evolve constantly. iOS and Android release major updates annually, introducing new features, deprecating old APIs, and changing behaviors. Apps not updated for new OS versions break, crash, or get rejected from app stores. Maintenance isn't optional; it's required to keep apps functional.

Beyond OS compatibility, users expect continuous improvement. Bugs discovered post-launch need fixing. Performance issues on specific devices require optimization. Security vulnerabilities must be patched. User feedback suggests feature enhancements. Competitor apps keep improving: standing still means falling behind. Regular maintenance keeps your app competitive and users satisfied.

We provide comprehensive app maintenance services: monitoring, updates, bug fixes, performance optimization, and feature additions. Monthly maintenance packages ensure your app stays current with platform changes, performs well, and continues meeting user expectations long after initial launch.

Maintenance Services

OS Compatibility Updates

Every iOS and Android major release requires testing and updates. New OS versions deprecate old APIs, change system behaviors, and introduce new features. We update apps for compatibility, adopt new APIs when beneficial, and test thoroughly on new OS versions before public release.

Typically required annually for major OS updates, plus occasional updates for significant minor versions.

Bug Fixes

No app launches bug-free. Users discover edge cases, specific device issues, or rare scenarios developers didn't anticipate. We monitor crash reports, track user-reported bugs, prioritize by severity, fix issues, and deploy updates. Critical bugs get emergency hotfixes; minor issues batch into regular updates.

Performance Optimization

Apps can slow down over time as databases grow, caches accumulate, or usage patterns change. We analyze performance metrics, identify bottlenecks, optimize slow screens, reduce memory usage, improve battery efficiency, and ensure smooth performance across device ranges.

Security Patches

Security vulnerabilities discovered in third-party libraries or platform frameworks require immediate updates. We monitor security advisories, assess impacts, update dependencies, patch vulnerabilities, and deploy security updates rapidly to protect user data.

Third-Party SDK Updates

Apps using payment gateways, analytics, crash reporting, or other SDKs must keep them updated. SDK providers release updates for compatibility, new features, and bug fixes. Outdated SDKs can cause crashes or stop working entirely.

Feature Enhancements

Based on user feedback and analytics, we implement improvements and new features. Better onboarding, additional functionality, UI refinements, new integrations. Regular enhancements keep users engaged and attract new downloads.

Monitoring & Analytics

Crash Monitoring

Firebase Crashlytics or similar tools track crashes, providing stack traces, device info, and user actions leading to crashes. We review crash reports daily, prioritizing fixes by frequency and severity.

Performance Metrics

Monitoring app launch time, screen load times, API response times, memory usage. Performance degradation alerts trigger investigation before users notice slowdowns.

Usage Analytics

Tracking which features users engage with, where they drop off, navigation patterns. Analytics inform optimization priorities and feature decisions.
