iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Android apps developers in Germany

Who are we?

We are Alstertouch - the team of professional software developers based in Hamburg, Germany. Our mission is simple and clear: create software that is pleasant to use. Why compromise functionality or appearance if you can have both?

What we are good at

We create exciting and novel yet highly functional iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Android applications (or "Apps" as we know them). We embrace innovation and enjoy what we do. It is our sincere hope that just as we have fun developing Apps for you, so will you and your clients have fun using them. We develop any custom-specified Apps for Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

How we do it

So you have an idea for a cool App to run on the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV or on an Android device? Good! Because we have lots of development experience on these platforms and we know exactly how to flesh out your idea into a product that runs smoothly on the target device and delivers full functionality with a clear and intuitive interface to the end user.

Just tell us about your idea, and we will quickly give you a no-obligation quote, schedule appointments, and develop your App that you can publish in Apple's AppStore or distribute yourself.

By the way, we treat all our projects with confidentiality and protect our customers' privacy and IP with the NDA. In contrast to other suppliers, the entire development cycle takes place in Germany – we value your intellectual property, so you can rest assured that it will not be shared with any external contractors.

Which devices do you support?

Our software runs on all mobile devices from Apple (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV and Apple Watch) and Google's Android. We work with the latest iOS 17 - features, such as ARKit, Siri Shortcuts, iMessage apps, CallKit, Dark Mode, App Extensions, Handoff, AirDrop, iBeacons, iCloud, AirPlay, In-App Purchase, App Thinning, HealthKit, Search API, iPad Multitasking, Passbook etc. And of course, your apps will be optimized for the high-resolution iPhone and iPad retina displays. We develop our apps primary in Swift and Objective-C.

How much does it cost to order an iPhone / iPad / Android app?

Once we know your ideas and concepts, we will send you a quote. Our estimate is broken down by individual app functions, so you can see which of the desired functions are most labour-intensive and which ones are easy to implement. The total cost is, of course, dependent on the size of the software.

Could it happen that the development cost will go up by the end of the project?

No. We guarantee a fixed final cost for an agreed scope of development. You will always be charged the agreed project cost. Furthermore, we will fix any errors or bugs that you discover in our product free of charge.

Will we sign a real contract?

Yes, we sign a conventional software development contract with our clients.

Will I receive full rights to the software I ordered?

Yes. You will receive both full rights to and the complete source code for the software. In the development contract, we waive any copyright claims on our part and grant you title to global distribution and use of the software.

Will my ideas and concepts be treated as confidential?

We assure you that we keep your ideas and concepts confidential and will not communicate them to a third party. In contrast to other suppliers who use cheap labour outside Europe, the entire development cycle takes place in Germany (Hamburg) – we value your intellectual property, so you can rest assured that it will not be shared with any external contractors. Give us a call or send us an e-mail, and we will send you a signed confidentiality agreement immediately.

How long does it take to create my software?

This is, of course, dependent on the size of the software. Developing a typical iPhone/iPad/Android application usually takes about 3-6 weeks.

Will I receive a bill?

You will receive an invoice at the end of the project with a certified VAT number.
