App care
- Monthly
- £450 a month
- Paid yearly
- £4,500 a year

We reply within one working day.
Who it's for
Businesses with a live iPhone or iPad app, whether we built it or took it over, who can't afford for it to break or drop off the App Store.
Built by someone else? We take over existing apps and sites, starting with a short audit.
What's covered
- Each year's iOS and SDK update: the app rebuilt and tested with the new iOS and Xcode, and any required SDK updates made.
- Keeping the app passing App Review as Apple's rules change, including privacy details and new submission requirements.
- Crash and bug fixes: we watch crash reports and fix what we find. A fix that needs real rework is quoted first.
- Store listing and screenshot upkeep, so the listing matches the app and current devices.
- Renewals of certificates, provisioning profiles and push keys before they expire, and a reminder before your Apple Developer membership renews.
- Up to 4 hours of changes a month, for small features, copy changes or tweaks.
- A short note each month on what we did and anything coming up from Apple.
Not included
- Apple's Developer Program fee, paid by you so the account stays yours.
- New features beyond the monthly hours, and the Android version of the app. We quote those first.
Terms
- Plans run month to month from the day you subscribe and are billed in advance by Direct Debit or card.
- Cancel any time with 30 days' notice; we hand over code, hosting and store access in full.
- Included hours are per calendar month and don't roll over; work beyond them is quoted first.
- You get a short written report each month and a review call every quarter.
- Prices are reviewed once a year with 60 days' notice and never rise more than CPI + 3% a year for existing clients.
- Pay yearly for two months free.
- Prices exclude VAT.
- Full terms of business.

Questions we get asked
Because Apple changes. Each year brings a new iOS and Xcode, and from time to time new requirements for submitting updates. An app nobody touches for a year or two often needs work before it can be updated at all, which is a bad moment to find out.
Yes, and it's a large part of what we do. We start with a takeover audit so we know the code, the accounts and the risks, then the app moves onto App care.
No one can promise that: Apple decides. What we do is keep the app up to date with Apple's rules, fix problems before they block an update, and handle App Review for you when it asks questions.
Yes. App care covers one app on iOS whatever it's built with. If you also need the Android version looked after, we'll quote that alongside.
No. It's monthly and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. If you pay yearly you get 2 months free.
