Mobile App Development Rescue
When an app is unfinished, fragile or difficult to take over, I first establish what is available and what is blocking progress. If the requested repair is clear, we can scope and quote it directly. If it is not, choose a €300 one-hour diagnosis or request a separately scoped deep audit before agreeing implementation.
What you get
- A direct assessment of the stated blocker; a separate paid diagnosis is only needed when the scope is unclear.
- A recommendation to repair, replace or stop, with the reason and known limits.
- A written scope for the agreed work: deliverables, exclusions, price and timing before implementation.
- The accepted repair or replacement step, delivered as an installable build where applicable.
- A handover with the repository, relevant notes and instructions for the next owner.
How it works
- Set the scope If the task is clear, agree the repair scope and quote directly. If not, choose a €300, one-hour diagnosis or request a separately scoped deep audit.
- Choose the next step Agree whether to repair, replace or stop, with deliverables, exclusions, price and timing in writing.
- Do the agreed work Implement the defined slice and provide an installable build where applicable.
- Hand over Transfer the repository, notes and next steps to you or your team.
A good fit if
- The last developer or agency went quiet and you still have the repository.
- The date has moved more than once and nobody can say why.
- You want one senior to own the next ship.
Access needed for an app takeover
Start with the project repository and the latest build you can run. Helpful context includes build and release steps, the blocker or error, recent changes, relevant logs and who owns the app, backend and store accounts. Your team keeps control of production credentials; access is arranged only for the systems needed to assess and carry out the agreed work.
- Share repository access and build instructions for the affected platforms.
- Describe what fails, how to reproduce it and what has already been tried.
- Identify account and environment owners; do not put production secrets in issue notes.
Triage before choosing a repair
Triage is about locating the blocker and agreeing a sensible next step, not assuming the app needs a rewrite. We use the available code, build and reproduction details to distinguish a defined repair from areas that need more investigation. The plan may be to repair, replace or stop; implementation begins only after scope, exclusions, price and handover are agreed.
- If the change is clear, scope and quote the repair directly.
- If the situation needs clarification, a €300 one-hour diagnosis is optional; a full audit is separately scoped and quoted.
- Agree delivery checks and handover based on the chosen work.
FAQ
Do I have to buy a diagnosis before rescue work?
No. If the code and requested work are clear, we can scope and quote the repair directly. A €300, one-hour focused diagnosis is an option when the situation needs clarification; a deep audit is scoped and quoted separately.
What if the project needs replacing?
We agree that recommendation and its limits first. A live MVP that fits the defined migration scope may use the €15,000 Flutter migration; larger products receive a separate quote.
What happens after the rescue?
The agreed handover is included in the scope. Ongoing work is a separate engagement if you want continued support.
Can you work with our US-based team?
Yes. Clutch Developer is based in Barcelona and works remotely with teams in the United States and Europe. Before work starts, we agree collaboration hours, payment arrangements, invoicing and any applicable taxes.
