Multizone modernises legacy iOS and Android apps in two weeks — preserving your brand, fixing the security gaps, meeting current App Store and Google Play standards — and then manages everything that keeps the app current, on a monthly subscription.

This page is for product managers, business owners, and brand directors who already know their app is the problem. It explains exactly what we do, how we do it, and what it costs.


Who this is for

You are responsible for a mobile app that:

  • Was last significantly updated more than 6 months ago
  • Looks dated next to your current website and marketing
  • Has a sign-up or registration flow that does not meet current standards
  • Has been flagged for App Store or Google Play compliance — or you suspect it will be
  • Carries security vulnerabilities you have not fully audited
  • Performs poorly on current iPhone, iPad or Android devices

And you have already concluded that an agency rebuild is too slow, too expensive, or too risky.

What modernisation includes

The two-week modernisation is a fixed scope. Every engagement includes the following:

Cross-platform rebuild

A modernised iOS and Android app, supporting current phone and tablet form factors, built on a current cross-platform framework.

Brand and feature preservation

Your visual identity and core feature set carry through. We do not redesign your product without permission.

Modern sign-up flows

Email, Apple ID and Google sign-in to current standards, with appropriate consent and privacy compliance.

Security audit

Every dependency reviewed, known CVEs resolved, legacy authentication and storage patterns brought up to current standards.

App Store and Google Play submission

We handle store listings, review responses and submission. 100% historic approval rate.

Performance baseline

Cold start, frame rate, network and memory benchmarks captured at launch so we can show improvement at month three.

How AI-powered migration changes the economics

A traditional agency rebuild costs what it does because every screen, every flow, every API call is reimplemented from scratch by a developer reading old code and writing new code. That is the part we have automated.

Our AI migration engine reads your existing codebase, identifies the patterns it has seen before, and produces a modernised equivalent on a current cross-platform framework. Our team then reviews, fills in the edges, integrates anything bespoke, and ships the result. We are not asking the AI to invent your app — we are using it to do the mechanical translation that used to consume 80% of an agency's billed hours.

That is why we can quote two weeks, fixed price, and still take responsibility for the result.

For the technical buyer: we publish framework choices, supported source codebases and the human-in-the-loop review process on request — ask during the discovery call.

What "managed service" actually means

Most app projects end at delivery. Ours starts there. After the modernised app ships, you move onto the monthly management subscription, which covers:

  • App Store and Google Play compliance — new review requirements, policy changes and guideline updates handled proactively. You do not get the surprise rejection email.
  • OS compatibility — support for new iOS and Android releases as they ship, including beta channel testing where appropriate.
  • Device compatibility — new phones and tablets tested as they reach market.
  • Security monitoring — ongoing CVE monitoring on every dependency, with patches issued and shipped under the subscription.
  • Performance monitoring — baselines tracked monthly; regressions investigated and resolved.

You receive proactive updates without briefing a developer or running a project. If something needs your attention — a brand decision, a new feature ask — we surface it. Otherwise, the app simply stays current.

What modernisation is not

So you can decide whether we are the right fit:

  • Not a redesign. If you want a brand-new product, we will scope that separately or refer you to a design partner.
  • Not a feature build. Bespoke new features are out of scope for the two-week modernisation. They can be added under management or quoted as a separate phase.
  • Not a low-code platform. We deliver a real, native-quality app you own, not a configuration in someone else's tool.
  • Not suitable for every app. Highly bespoke or poorly documented apps may exceed the AI complexity threshold. The audit tells us — and you — before we commit.

Frequently asked

What frameworks do you migrate to?
We default to a current cross-platform framework that supports phone and tablet form factors on iOS and Android. Specific stack confirmed during the audit.
What source codebases can you migrate from?
We have migrated from native Objective-C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, Cordova, Ionic, React Native, Xamarin and Appcelerator codebases. The AI complexity audit confirms feasibility before we commit.
Do we keep the source code?
Yes. You own the codebase. You can leave the management subscription at any time and the code is yours.
Are you UK-based?
Yes — Multizone is a UK limited company; delivery is from the UK.
