Offline capture that syncs when the connection comes back is the whole reason the app exists.
Mobile Development
Most requests for an app are better served by a website that works properly on a phone. An app earns its place when it needs the camera, location in the background, offline use, push notifications, or a place on the home screen people return to.
When an app is the right answer, the next decision is one codebase or two. React Native covers most cases at a fraction of the cost, and Altura, a map-based marketplace, is the kind of product it suits: heavy on location and listings, light on platform-specific hardware.
Native is worth it when the app leans on platform features that shift with every OS release, or when the performance ceiling actually matters. We will say which case you are in before anyone commits to a budget.
// what you get
What's included.
- An honest recommendation on app versus responsive web, before the budget is set
- Cross-platform builds in React Native where one codebase serves both stores
- Location, camera, offline storage, and push notifications
- App Store and Play Store submission, review responses, and release management
- Crash reporting and staged rollouts, so a bad build reaches few people
- Over-the-air updates for the changes that do not need a store review

A marketplace people browse on a map
Location, listings, and messaging, with the map fast enough that panning does not feel like waiting.
An app requested for reasons a website would cover
Sometimes the finding is that the mobile site is the fix and the app would cost five times as much to reach fewer people. We say so.
