Overview

Updated · Reviewed by the AppDesign360 engineering team

AppDesign360 (Mango Consulting LLC) is a mobile app development company in Teaneck, NJ and Queens, NY. We build native iOS and Android apps in Swift and Kotlin, and cross-platform apps in Flutter and React Native, then handle App Store and Google Play submission. Builds start at $3,500 for an agreed starter scope; a separate App Blueprint provides a clickable prototype, technical spec, and build quote from $1,250. The written scope confirms included features, platforms, price, and timing.

A free 20-minute scoping call establishes the first workflow and intended users. Your written proposal confirms the platforms, screens, backend, integrations, testing, store-submission responsibilities, price, and schedule. Source code stays in a repository your business owns. Store release is subject to platform approval.

We are the engineers behind AppDesign360, the brand many New Jersey and New York businesses know from our earlier app and web work. Mango Consulting LLC is the legal entity: an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded in 2018, based in Teaneck, NJ with headquarters in Queens, NY. Everyone on your build is US-based and works Eastern hours, so you can reach the person writing your code during your business day.

Why businesses in NJ and NYC hire us for apps

  • Fixed price, written scope. You get a number and a timeline before work starts, not an hourly meter that runs until the money is gone.
  • Store submission in your scope. Agree the target stores and responsibilities for developer accounts, beta testing, listing assets, privacy information, and review responses.
  • You own everything. Source code, store accounts, backend, and domain are registered to your business from day one.
  • The right stack, not a default. Flutter or React Native when one codebase makes sense; native Swift and Kotlin when performance or hardware access demands it.
  • Backend capabilities. We can build authentication, databases, notifications, payments, and admin tools. The proposal identifies which features are included.
  • Local when it matters. Based in Teaneck and Queens, we meet in person by appointment across Bergen County, the five boroughs, and Fairfield County, CT.

Mobile app builds start at $3,500 in USD for an agreed starter scope. Business apps, larger MVPs, and custom platforms receive individual quotes. The written proposal confirms screens, platforms, backend, integrations, store submission, price, and timeline. Post-launch support runs on a monthly retainer or at our custom software rate, from $20 per hour. A separate App Blueprint can help define the project before development. Builder coaching remains a separate service from $125 per session if you are developing the app yourself. Coaching does not include an implementation project or app release.
