We purpose-build a high-performing mobile app development team just for you, a team that partners seamlessly with you and feels like an extension of your own in-house team.

Trust our security-first approach to mobile app development
We build security into everything we do, and we’re proud to be an ISO 27001 compliant software development partner. Using our pragmatic Agile methodology, we address all security issues throughout the mobile application development process, making sure you can:
- Protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your enterprise data
- Improve how your mobile app achieves compliance with commercial, contractual, and legal requirements, including with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and others
- Reduce cyber threat risks and the fines, business disruptions, and loss of reputation that can result
- Achieve greater resilience to cyber-attacks today and as they continue to evolve
Our security-first approach means we start by identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities early in the process. We continue to assess and evaluate vulnerabilities throughout the process. And we do this while maintaining project timelines so that we deliver your secure, compliant mobile app on time. Learn more about the Security Practice ›
Improve engagement with UI/UX services for mobile apps
Mobile app users can be demanding and are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Mobile users will delete an app because they don’t like how it looks, how it works, how long it takes to do things with it, or how much space it takes up on their device. Engaging users so they continue using your mobile app means that excellent UI/UX is essential, and there’s ample research that points to the significant return on investment of UI/UX. Our mobile app UI/UX designers bring their user-centric design expertise and best practices into the build from the start—and are fully integrated into the Agile sprint cycle. This close alignment with the product development process bridges the gaps between mobile app design, engineering, and product teams. Building empathy and understanding through product stories, journey maps, personas, and storyboards, our designers create and maintain design systems for mobile apps that scale, ensure consistency, and improve quality. You can be confident that when you build a mobile app with a Gorilla team, your users will be engaged and delighted, whether they’re employees, partners, or customers.

Deliver value continuously with Agile mobile app development services
Our lightweight, pragmatic Agile approach means your Gorilla development team collaborates daily, delivers incrementally, tests constantly, and is always working on improving. This approach results in a viable mobile app solution more quickly than traditional models. As a mobile app development company, we focus on the full product lifecycle, from product roadmapping to user story mapping, making sure you deliver value as early and often as possible.

Scale your mobile app development team with nearshoring
With complex mobile app builds, outsourcing to a mobile app development company can prove challenging. It can be hard to communicate and collaborate with offshore teams that don’t work within your business day and lack English fluency. Outsourcing in Latin America (often referred to as nearshoring), offers the ideal combination of location, language, culture, and education you need to support your enterprise mobile app build. Based in our nearshore development hubs in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Mexico, our developers work in the same or adjacent time zones as you and your teams, are English-fluent, and are culturally aligned with your organization. Our nearshoring approach means you get more value from your budget, achieve continuous value delivery, and realize amazing results for your most strategic mobile apps.
