Apps
iPhone and iPad apps built in Swift around your specific business requirements, public on the App Store or private for your team.
Superstack builds native iPhone and iPad apps for teams that already live on Apple devices. This is iOS app development NZ clinics, gyms and trades use to put check-in, forms and job lists on the phones staff carry, public on the App Store or private to your company.
iPhone team, no iPhone app
native iOS app development
Native means Swift and SwiftUI: the app feels like the rest of the phone and keeps up with each iOS release. Scoping, backend and support are on our mobile app development page. Everything below is Apple-specific.

Swift app development means an app that opens instantly and talks to the camera, GPS and Face ID directly. A physio taps a patient's name and the notes appear before the patient sits down. No wrapper, no web page in disguise.

iPad app development is not the iPhone screen stretched wider: lists and detail sit side by side. Kiosk mode locks the reception iPad to one screen, so a gym member checks in and signs a waiver without ever reaching your settings.

Before anything goes public, your staff install the beta through TestFlight. A cleaning supervisor runs a week of site visits on the test build, and every crash comes back to us with a tap. You launch knowing it already works.

App Store app development runs on Apple's review guidelines, and most rejections are avoidable. We build to the guidelines, prepare the listing and answer the reviewer ourselves. If Apple pushes back, you hear it from us with a fix, not a shrug.

A staff-only app never appears in the App Store. Through Apple Business Manager we push it privately to your managed devices: a new cleaner gets it on day one, a leaver loses it that afternoon. No public listing, no strangers' reviews.

Face ID opens the app without a password, so a nurse gets patient notes in a hurry. Apple Pay takes payment for a class or callout in two taps. Apple Wallet holds the membership card or booking pass, ready at the door.

Notifications go through Apple's own push service, APNs, so they arrive even when the app is closed. A tradie gets the next job the moment dispatch assigns it. A patient gets a reminder the day before. You choose what triggers a push.

The app stores what it needs on the device, so a technician in a lift shaft or a rural farmhouse keeps filling in the job. Photos and forms queue and sync in the background once there is signal, with nobody pressing send.
We agree the scope, then draw every screen in Figma so you approve the app before we write Swift. Your staff test the beta through TestFlight, and what they find shapes the final build. We take the app through App Store review and you decide the launch day. Then we update it each time Apple ships a new iOS.
Your accounting software receives the app's invoices and returns payment status. Stripe and Apple Pay take card payments in two taps. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 handle staff sign-in. Twilio sends SMS to customers without an iPhone. Your CRM and job system connect via API.

HubSpotAI is optional. We add it only when a task on the phone clearly gets faster, never because the chip can run it. See how we use AI and business process automation.
A plumber describes the fix and the app files it as parts, labour and next steps.
The app sorts site photos into before, after and damage on its own.
A cleaner tells Siri to start the next job and the timer runs.
The office uses the web app to set up forms, see what came in from every iPhone and iPad, and run reports, in any browser on a Mac or PC.
Staff carry the native iPhone app for jobs, forms, photos and check-in. Reception runs the iPad version in kiosk mode. Both are one Swift app, laid out for each screen.
Customers get the app from the App Store, with Apple Pay and Wallet passes, or book through the browser portal. All three run on one database, so a booking shows everywhere.
IPad check-in at reception and clinical notes behind Face ID.
GymsMember check-in, class bookings and a Wallet pass for the door.
HospitalityTable bookings, Apple Pay ordering and the roster on staff phones.
Cleaning and trades with iPhone fleetsJob lists, photos and sign-off on every company phone.
Retail and showroomsAn iPad on the floor for stock lookups and quotes.
Quickest start
We customise an existing Superstack iPhone module, such as check-in or forms, with your branding and fields.
Most common
We combine modules, such as check-in, forms and bookings, into one native app for iPhone and iPad with a web admin behind it.
Fully bespoke
A custom iPhone app for business processes nothing existing covers, designed from scratch, including hardware such as card readers and scanners.
Native, if the app only ever runs on Apple devices and leans on iPad layouts, Face ID, Apple Pay or private distribution. Cross-platform, if customers on Android need the same app on the same day. We give you a straight recommendation at scoping, and our cross-platform page lays out the trade-offs.
Yes. Apple Business Manager lets us distribute a private app straight to your company's devices, with no public listing and no App Store search result. Staff get the app on day one and lose it when they leave. It still passes Apple's checks, but nobody outside your business sees it.
Usually days rather than weeks, and updates tend to move faster, though Apple sets the pace. Most rejections share a few causes: no demo login, permissions with no explanation, sign-up without account deletion, or an app that is really a website. All of those come down to preparation, which we handle.
Yes, when iPad is in the scope. We lay out iPad screens separately instead of scaling up the phone version, and test both sizes in TestFlight. A reception iPad and a clinician's iPhone run the same app with different layouts. If you only need iPhone, we build for iPhone only.
Yes. We decide at scoping which parts must work with no signal, usually the job list, forms, photos and signatures, and the app keeps a local copy of those. Everything captured offline queues and syncs once the phone reconnects. Anything that needs a live connection says so instead of failing quietly.
Yes, in your business's name, not ours. The account holds your App Store listing and private distribution, so it must be yours. We set it up, handle Apple's paperwork and manage it. Ask iPhone app developers NZ wide the same question, because an account in the developer's name is hard to get back.
