Mobile app development company for the UAE: bilingual iOS and Android apps
Mobile apps are a key channel for UAE customers, and they must feel natural in both Arabic and English. As a mobile app development company supporting UAE businesses, Ozapp builds iOS and Android apps with React Native, with proper right-to-left support and AI features where useful.

FAQ: Mobile apps in the UAE
Another question? Call us or book 30 minutes: we will give you a concrete answer.
How do the time zone and working week affect collaboration?
The UAE (GST, UTC+4) is two to three hours ahead of Belgium, so your mornings overlap with our working day. Since 2022, the UAE federal government works Monday to Friday, and many private companies follow a similar week, so most business days align with ours. We schedule calls in advance and share progress asynchronously.
Do your solutions comply with UAE data protection rules?
We apply European GDPR standards by default and design solutions with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) in mind. Some free zones and sectors have their own rules, so we review data storage, access and retention requirements with you at the start of each project.
How much does it cost to build a mobile app?
The cost of a mobile app depends on its scope, which is why we work with custom quotes. The main factors are the number of screens and features, user accounts, payments, offline mode, built-in AI, the back office and integrations with your tools. After a free 30-minute consultation, you receive a detailed quote within 24-48 hours.
Native or cross-platform: which should I choose?
For most projects, cross-platform development with React Native is the best choice: one codebase for iOS and Android, a controlled budget and maintenance, and a near-native experience. Fully native development makes sense for very specific needs, such as 3D games or heavy hardware use. We'll recommend the right approach for your project.
How long does it take to develop an app?
It depends on the number of features and the integrations required. We often recommend launching a focused first version (MVP), then expanding it based on user feedback. Your quote includes a clear timeline, and you test interim builds throughout development.
