FAQ
Mobile App Development Company in Dubai: questions
01Do you design Arabic and bilingual brands for the UAE?
Yes. Identities are built Arabic-ready from day one: a paired Arabic typeface, right-to-left layouts and bilingual websites, so the brand reads as premium in both languages.
02Which UAE industries do you work with?
Real estate developers and brokers, luxury and fashion retail, hospitality and F&B, events and startups across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
03How closely can you work with a Dubai team?
Closely. The UAE is only 1.5 hours behind India, so we work almost entirely inside your business hours, with video workshops and visits for larger engagements.
04Native 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.
05How 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.
06Who 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.
07How 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.
08Do 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.
09Do you work with clients in Dubai?
Yes. We work with founders in Dubai 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.
010Why would a United Arab Emirates brand hire The BrandBerry?
Dubai expects polish, in two languages, on the latest phones. We design premium, Arabic-ready brands and build bilingual websites, booking platforms and apps for real estate, hospitality, luxury retail and events, working almost entirely inside Dubai business hours.
011Who 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.
