Executing perfectly on the wrong idea is pointless.

Even if you’ve thoroughly researched your idea and analysed your target market, it’s likely you’re missing some key aspects to your app. We pride ourselves on our mobile app development services that go beyond standard focus groups and market research and focus on the psychology of products, user behaviour, and emotional triggers to help our clients shape their ideas into something meaningful and highly engaging. The results are products that are as intuitive as they are delightful.

From mobile app development financial services to healthcare to retail, by taking a much deeper look at the products we build for clients, we end up creating apps that people love to talk about and share – a great thing for any digital product! If you’re wondering how to engage people more, or drive a more positive user experience with your app then it all starts at the research stage. By building up a much fuller picture of the mindset of your users, we help you see the bigger picture for your app.

Glance excels in developing technologically advanced mobile apps enhanced by psychological insights to boost user engagement. Our approach starts with a strategic discovery phase, focusing on user behaviour and market dynamics to align our development closely with user expectations and business objectives. Enriched with behavioural research, our process goes beyond conventional methods by incorporating psychological triggers that improve engagement and retention. This approach has consistently led to the creation of top-ranking apps across various platforms.
Our Previous Work

Great ideas, brilliantly executed.

The apps we build for our clients have had more top 10 hits, organic magazine features, organic press coverage, industry recognition and awards than most of our competitors combined.

Case Study

The Sun

Providing up-to-the-minute news was the core brief for The Sun project. Unlike most news apps, there was a shift away from replicating the print edition and instead focusing on breaking news as it happened. With a high transactional footprint the app had to be highly scalable and secure.

Case Study

Busuu

Aimed at young children wishing to learn English, the Busuu app was illustrated by one of our artists in order to create a colourful place for kids to learn and play. The app combined several key strategies developed by Busuu along with some engaging games and activities in order to aid learning.

Case Study

CMC Markets

With millisecond accuracy requirements, the CMC Markets trading application had the highest of demands but the lowest of tolerances when it came to speed and efficiency. We had to work at the lowest network level to attain the kinds of performance required of trading apps such as this.
