IoT mobile app development

IoT mobile apps to monitor and control your devices

iOS and Android apps that pair with your device, show live readings, send alerts and let people control equipment safely, whether they're standing next to it or miles away.

  • iOS and Android
  • Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G
  • Works when the internet drops

What is an IoT mobile app?

An IoT mobile app is a phone app that connects to a physical device, such as a pump, sensor or machine, to set it up, show its readings and control it. It talks to the device over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi nearby, and through the cloud when you're away. MGT builds IoT apps for iOS and Android with React Native and Swift.

The problem

The app is how people judge your device.

Setup is confusing

If pairing fails in the first five minutes, the device gets returned or ignored.

Readings stay on the device

People have to walk to the machine to know what's going on.

Nobody hears the alarm

A problem at night or on a weekend goes unnoticed until it's expensive.

Remote control feels risky

Without confirmation, nobody knows if the pump really turned on.

What we build

What your app can do

Device setup and pairing

Bluetooth pairing, Wi-Fi setup and QR code onboarding that works first time.

Live readings

Values, status and trends shown in plain words and clear units.

Push alerts

Instant notifications when a reading crosses a limit or a device goes offline.

Remote control with confirmation

Start, stop and adjust equipment, and see when the device confirms it.

Local control over Bluetooth

Keep control on site even with no internet.

Schedules and automation

Run equipment on a timer or automatically based on readings.

Users and roles

Owners, operators and technicians each see what they need.

History and reports

Look back at readings and events, and share reports.

Options

Local control, remote access, or both

Near the device

Local

Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi. Fast and works without internet. Ideal for setup and on-site control.

Anywhere

Remote

Through a gateway or cloud over Wi-Fi or 4G. Check readings and control equipment from home.

Recommended

Both

Local when you're close, remote when you're away. The app switches automatically.

Use cases

What people use it for

  • Start and stop pumps, motors or diesel engines
  • Watch water quality, tank levels or temperature
  • Get alarms on your phone at any hour
  • Set up a new device in minutes
  • Give your customers a branded app for your product
  • Let technicians diagnose a device on site

Our capability

What we've already built

Real systems running on real hardware. Every project starts from this experience.

  • Pond and water monitoring with oxygen sensors and automatic aerator control
  • Mobile apps that start, stop and schedule diesel engines and pumps
  • Real-time panic and alarm systems with instant notifications
  • Machine data loggers that collect readings over TCP and run on site
  • QR codes on machines that open a live health page
  • Bluetooth apps for device setup, readings and control

Frequently asked questions

Do you build for iOS and Android?

Yes. We build apps for both, and publish them to the App Store and Google Play under your account.

Can the app work without internet?

Yes. With Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi, people can read and control the device on site. Changes sync when the connection returns.

Will it work with our device?

If your device has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a gateway or a cloud connection, almost certainly. We test with the actual hardware your customers receive.

Can the app carry our brand?

Yes. Your name, logo and colours, published under your developer account.

Is remote control safe?

Commands are confirmed by the device before the app shows them as done, and you choose which actions need extra confirmation or a PIN.

How long does an IoT app take?

A first working version with pairing, readings and alerts usually takes a few weeks. More features add time, and we agree the scope upfront.
