Over the years, Pocket App needed to evolve and keep up with rapidly changing mobile app development trends.

Jake says many clients initially wanted apps just because their competitors had them, and Pocket App overcame this by challenging briefs and focusing on the actual needs of businesses rather than just developing apps for the sake of it.

“We have built trust and long-term clients by becoming an extension of their internal term and partnering with them to ensure the product is not just delivered and launched successfully but maintained and improved by implementing a long-term roadmap,” he adds.

Now, the agency offers free app clinics to provide initial guidance and showcase its expertise to current and potential clients.
