Softeq registered with the Apple Developer Program shortly after the public release of the iPhone back in 2007. Since then we’ve been involved in projects employing every operating system's version and API level, including iOS versions for iPod Touch and iPad, both with and without Retina Display.

Our iOS team has a wealth of experience in developing mobile applications employed across a range of domains — small and medium business operations management, entertainment, enterprise mobility, as well as low-level utilities and wearable tech.
We have a proven set of iOS-focused development tools, frameworks, and practices on hand, which ensure cohesion and manageability of the implementation process — from requirements gathering to release and taking the app through the Apple review and publication routine all the way to maintenance and support of the released titles. Besides, the team provides mobile apps porting from/to Android OS.
From iPhone and iPad to Wearables and IoT Applications
Powering high-end devices, iOS is blazing a speedy path in taking the mobile market and already demonstrates higher monetization capabilities for developers providing more targeted user engagement options than its rivaling platforms. With the debut of the Apple's wearables and a number of digital iPhone-friendly contenders emerging in the market, iOS has been striding ahead expanding its technology footprint in the wearable tech and the IoT domain. As an official licensee of Apple’s MFi Program, Softeq has been helping its customers scope out business opportunities with iOS apps for iPhone, iPad, and their wearable form factors.
Apple Watch: Making the Most of the Digital Novelty
We've been toying with the WatchKit framework for a while to get the hang of its functional properties and development limitations. No matter how much more there’s left to polish and enhance before we can use this digital newbie to its full capacity, extending an iPhone app to the Apple Watch utilizing such peculiar features of the wearable as glances and notifications is already the reality of today. Such limitations of the solution as absence of the complex gesture detection, unavailability of custom gesture recognizers, different screen resolutions for each watch size to code for along with specific hardware constraints only kindle our growing interest in this promising invention further. We take it as another chance for us to put our Objective-C and Swift skills into work and turn the technical challenges into opportunities.
Developing towards Contextual Experiences
By integrating the beacon technology in iOS, Apple has notably extended its devices’ location services. Combined with Bluetooth Low Energy, iBeacon provides the ability to instantly leverage “proximity context” for enhanced customer experience. Unlike GPS-based geolocation, using iBeacon allows saving the device power, while enabling more specific user targeting with locally-relevant content. If you’re about to test the waters of this innovative technology, Softeq’s ready to step up to the challenge. We can help analyze your target audience context suggesting ways for non-intrusive but engaging interaction with the users, while balancing their wants with the need for privacy.

Happy Global Customers
The development speed is really good and the quality is also good, so we are really satisfied with their work. If we had to do it ourselves, it should have cost more and [taken] a longer period. But Softeq team did it very efficiently. I really appreciate Softeq’s work and I definitely recommend Softeq to our colleagues or customers.
