Festival and event apps
Lineups, personal schedules, maps, tickets and live updates. We've built apps for UNTOLD, UNTOLD Dubai and Neversea, and for ticketing and experiences platforms like Rhuna and Extasy.
A festival app has a short, intense life: quiet most of the year, then everyone opens it at once, often on a crowded network. It has to show the right stage times, help people find their way and carry the festival's look, which changes every edition.
We've done this for some of Europe's biggest festivals and their editions abroad, and for platforms that sell tickets and experiences all year round. Every festival app we've built is a Flutter app: one codebase, the same features on iPhone and Android on day one, and one place to restyle for each edition.

How much does an app cost?
It depends on what the app needs to do: the number of screens and features, whether it needs a back-end, payments or integrations, and how polished the design should be. After a short discovery call we send a clear estimate for a first version. Starting with a focused first version and growing it from real use is usually the best value.
How long does it take to build an app?
A focused first version can launch within weeks; larger platforms with back-ends and integrations take a few months. After discovery you get a timeline with milestones and working builds along the way, so you're never waiting in the dark.
Flutter or native: which should I choose?
For most apps, Flutter is the best value: one codebase for iPhone and Android, with native performance and one team to pay. Native Swift or Kotlin is better when an app leans heavily on the newest platform features or deep hardware access. We've done both since 2008 and recommend what fits your project.
