UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
Lawful basis for each piece of personal data, a clear privacy notice in the app, consent for analytics and the right to export or delete data. The ICO expects this from day one.

UK
What a UK app has to get right
These are the UK-specific points we plan into every project, so legal review and app-store review do not delay launch.
UK payment methods
Card and Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe, recurring payments through GoCardless Direct Debit, and Strong Customer Authentication (3-D Secure) handled correctly.
Accessibility
Readable text sizes, screen-reader labels and colour contrast designed to WCAG 2.2 AA, which also helps you meet Equality Act 2010 duties to disabled customers.
UK and EU hosting
The app's API and database hosted in AWS London, Azure UK South or another UK or EU region, so UK customer data stays in a familiar jurisdiction.
VAT-ready payments
In-app purchases and subscriptions with correct VAT on receipts, and connections to Xero or QuickBooks so finance does not re-type sales.
Children's data
If under-18s may use the app, the ICO Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's code) applies; we design default privacy settings to match.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs
Are you a UK app development company?
Yes. InnoFeature Labs Ltd is registered in the United Kingdom (registered office: 71-75 Shelton Street, London WC2H 9JQ). Discovery, design reviews and sprint demos run online, scheduled in UK working hours.
How much does it cost to build an app in the UK?
It depends on the number of screens and user roles, native or cross-platform, offline needs, payments and integrations with your existing systems. We agree a first release in discovery and give you an estimate before development starts, so you are not asked to commit to an open-ended budget.
Do you handle UK GDPR in the app?
Yes. We map the personal data the app collects, add the privacy notice and consent flows, support data export and deletion, and host data in a UK or EU region. Your own legal adviser should still review your privacy policy.
Can the app take payments from UK customers?
Yes. We integrate Stripe for cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and GoCardless for Direct Debit, with Strong Customer Authentication handled. Digital goods sold inside the app may need Apple or Google in-app purchase instead, and we plan for that.
Native or Flutter: which is better for a UK business app?
Flutter or React Native suits most business apps that need both stores on a contained budget. Native Swift and Kotlin are better when the app relies on Bluetooth, NFC, background location or demanding graphics. We recommend one in discovery.
Who owns the app and the code?
For custom builds the deliverables become your property after full payment unless agreed otherwise in writing, and the apps are published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts.
Next step
Planning an app for UK customers or staff?
Tell us who will use it and what it must connect to. We will recommend native or cross-platform and outline a first release and estimate.
