Fort Lauderdale, Florida · Broward County
Mobile App Development Company in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Cuanto Labs is a Fort Lauderdale mobile app development company: we build iOS and Android apps in React Native and Expo for Broward businesses, with offline support and push notifications included. A mobile app starts at $15,000 fixed-price and typically takes 8–16 weeks, store submission included. We are based on Las Olas Blvd (mailing address 1314 E Las Olas Blvd), and founder Eliran Yihye leads every project.
The apps that pay for themselves in Broward are the ones people use at work with one hand: a captain logging a service request at the dock, a technician photographing a finished job, a property manager approving a work order from a hallway. We design for sun glare, gloves, weak signal and a customer waiting, then test on the phones your people carry.

How much does mobile app development cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Mobile apps from Cuanto Labs start at $15,000, fixed-price and agreed in writing before work starts. That covers a scoped React Native app for iOS and Android with push notifications and offline support. Apps with many user roles or heavy integrations cost more, and the backend and admin dashboard are scoped with the app.
How long does it take to build a mobile app in Broward?
Expect 8–16 weeks, store submission included. Two platforms, device testing and store review take longer than a web app. Because we are based on Las Olas, discovery sessions at your office or yard happen early, which helps. You install test builds on your own phone while we build.
What kinds of Fort Lauderdale businesses need a mobile app?
Those whose people work away from a desk: marine service companies, contractors, property managers, home-service technicians and hospitality teams. If staff need the camera, a signature, a GPS stamp or push alerts, an app beats a web page. Customer-facing apps suit businesses with repeat bookings or orders.
Should I build native iOS, Android or cross-platform?
For most business apps, cross-platform. React Native with Expo gives one codebase for both stores and a native feel at the cost of one build. Choose fully native for heavy graphics or deep hardware features. Our Zmanim iOS app is native SwiftUI, so we can build either.
How do I choose a mobile app developer in Fort Lauderdale?
Ask who writes the code, who owns the store accounts and source at handover, how updates work after launch, and how soon you can test a build on your phone. Get a fixed price in writing. Eliran Yihye scopes and leads each Cuanto Labs project from Las Olas.

Customer apps
Booking, payments, order tracking and loyalty for service and hospitality businesses, in the App Store and Google Play.

Apps for the dock, the job site and the front desk
Fort Lauderdale styles itself the yachting capital of the world, and the marine economy along the New River and the Intracoastal runs on work orders, parts requests and crew communication that mostly happen on phones. Construction and home-service companies across Broward need technicians to capture photos, signatures and time on site. Hospitality teams on the beach and along Las Olas need staff apps for shifts and tasks. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades add travel and cargo workflows. All of these share a constraint: the app is used outdoors or in motion, often without a stable connection. So we build offline-first, big touch targets and short flows, then sync to a dashboard your office uses. Because our Las Olas base is a short drive away, we can spend a morning watching the real workflow before we design anything.

How a project runs
- 1. Discovery call. Thirty minutes on the problem, the timeline and the budget. No deck, no pitch.
- 2. Fixed-price proposal. Scope and a number, in writing, before any code exists.
- 3. Build in the open. You get a working version in week two and review progress weekly.
- 4. Launch and hand over. Code, repositories and accounts transfer to you at the end. They are yours.
- 5. Support if you want it. A monthly retainer is optional and never a condition of handover.

Fort Lauderdale questions we get asked
Can the app work offline on a boat or job site?
Yes. Offline-first means the app stores work on the phone and syncs when signal returns, so a technician can finish a checklist at the end of a dock. We test it with airplane mode on, because that is the condition that matters.
Do you meet in person in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, and this is our home market. We are a remote team with no storefront, but we come to your office or yard for discovery and training, and we watch how your crews actually work before designing the screens.
Will it be in both app stores?
Yes. React Native and Expo ship to iOS and Android from one codebase, and we handle submission to both stores. Developer accounts are created in your business name so you own the listings.
Can the app connect to our existing software?
Usually. If your system has an API we integrate directly, and if it only exports files we build around that. QuickBooks, Stripe, scheduling and CRM tools are the usual connections, and a short technical review comes before the quote.
Is a web app enough for us?
Sometimes. A web app starts at $8,000 and takes 4–8 weeks. If your crew needs the camera, push notifications or offline use, a mobile app is worth the extra cost. We tell you honestly which one your use case needs.
