FAQ
Mobile App Development Company in Abu Dhabi: questions
01Do you build school and education software in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. We built VioletSync, a school ERP with a parent app, and build bilingual education platforms for schools and EdTech founders in the UAE.
02Do you build bilingual Arabic and English websites?
Yes. Right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography and native-speaker content are planned from day one.
03Native or cross-platform: which should we build?
Cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) suits most startups: one codebase, faster to market. Native Swift and Kotlin make sense for heavy device features or the highest performance. We recommend after discovery.
04How long does it take to build an app?
An MVP typically takes 8 to 14 weeks from discovery to store launch, depending on features, integrations and design depth.
05Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Contracts assign all intellectual property to you on payment, we sign an NDA before discovery and you get the full source code and accounts.
06How do you run projects?
Discovery and scope first, then two-week sprints with a demo at the end of each, a shared board you can see at any time and a single senior lead who owns delivery.
07Do you support the product after launch?
Yes. We offer maintenance, monitoring, security updates and ongoing feature development, so the team that built it keeps improving it.
08Do you work with clients in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. We work with founders in Abu Dhabi remotely, over video calls, phone and email. Gulf time is just 1.5 hours behind India, so we work almost entirely in your business hours.
09Why would a United Arab Emirates brand hire The BrandBerry?
Abu Dhabi's institutions, hospitality groups, developers and schools need brands and software that feel established and modern at once. We build bilingual websites, school and education platforms and custom software, with Arabic designed in from the start.
010Who will I work with?
A small senior team led by our founder, Jai Malhotra. You speak directly with the people doing the work, with no account managers in between.
