Bolder Apps · Maintenance & Care

Your app is live. Keep it that way.

Left alone, apps start failing store reviews, crashing on new devices, and losing users. Dedicated team plans, on-demand support, or a tailored plan, with transparent prices, from a team that gets to know your codebase.

Keeps the product healthy with bug fixes, updates, and monitoring. Not built for new feature work.

Occasional fixes only? On-Demand is billed by the hour.

Why apps need maintenance

Launch is the starting line.

iOS and Android ship breaking changes every year. The work below doesn't stop because your roadmap did.

01 · Platforms

Operating systems move

New iOS and Android releases change behavior your app depends on. Each new release is tested against your app, and breaking changes are fixed within your plan's hours.

02 · Code

Dependencies go stale

Libraries, frameworks, and SDKs are kept current and patched, so yesterday's package isn't tomorrow's security hole.

03 · Stores

Store rules change

Policy changes, submission requirements, and re-reviews are handled before they become a rejection.

04 · Users

Production finds bugs

Bugs real users report are triaged and fixed within your plan's hours. Monitoring catches crashes and outages early.

What every dedicated plan covers

The upkeep, handled every month.

Every dedicated plan includes the same core care. The plan you choose decides how many hours sit on top of it for improvements and new work.

Getting started

Two ways in, depending on who built it.

Either way, the team that maintains your app starts with full context on how it was built.

Built with Bolder Apps

Straight in, no onboarding

Your post-launch support rolls directly into the plan. The plan picks up with full context on how the app was built.

Free code review first

We start with a free code review so we know exactly what we're taking care of, then take over maintenance with full context.

Questions

Questions we get.

Before you claim your code review.

Does a plan include new features?
+

Maintain covers upkeep only. Optimize leaves room for smaller features and improvements each month, and Scale is built for continued feature development. Larger new functionality can be scoped as a fixed-price addendum.

Can we switch plans later?
+

Yes. Dedicated plans are month to month: upgrading, downgrading, or cancelling takes 30 days’ notice. On-Demand moves to a dedicated plan when the backlog justifies it.

Who actually does the work?
+

Senior engineers who know your codebase, with your project manager as your point of contact.

Our app is on fire right now. Which plan?
+

None yet. Use the form below and tell us it's urgent. Triage comes first, and a plan makes sense once the app is stable enough to maintain.

Is there a contract?
+

Dedicated plans are month to month with no term agreement, and changes take 30 days’ notice. On-Demand has no monthly commitment. You own all of your code either way.

Next step

Your app deserves better than “we'll look into it”

Tell us what you're running and what's been going wrong. We'll recommend a plan, or tell you honestly that you don't need one yet.
