Mobile Apps

Mobile apps remain the fastest way to place your brand, services and data in the palm of every customer. Global consumer spending on apps hit $150 billion in 2024, a 13 percent year-on-year jump Sensor Tower, while total revenue from downloads, in-app purchases and advertising is projected to reach $585 billion in 2025. People now spend more than four hours a day in apps on average, so the opportunity keeps growing.

Why organisations choose DPTR for mobile

Product-agnostic by design

DPTR does not force businesses into a preset stack. We assess goals, audience and existing data flows, then choose the mix of native, cross-platform or progressive technologies that delivers the best balance of speed, budget and future flexibility. Custom architecture avoids the licence costs and lock-in risk that accompany many off-the-shelf platforms.

Human-centred experience

Seamless onboarding and thoughtful micro-interactions lift retention by as much as 50 percent when compared with generic flows Our designers map journeys around real-world behaviour and accessibility guidelines to ensure no user is left behind

Secure from day one

High-profile breaches in 2024 showed how quickly trust can evaporate when security is bolted on late We embed threat modelling, encrypted storage and continuous testing into the build pipeline from the first sprint.

Built for continuous change

Modern DevOps, automated testing and cloud CI/CD let teams release updates multiple times per week without downtime Features move from backlog to production in days, not months.

Ready for intelligent features

The market for AI-enabled mobile experiences is growing at 32 percent CAGR towards 2034 We integrate on-device ML, real-time recommendations and conversational interfaces only where they add genuine value, not novelty.

Local insight, global scale

Mobile wallet payments in Australia alone are set to surpass A$200 billion this year DPTR’s Melbourne-based team aligns apps with local compliance and payment habits while architecting for global growth.
