What we do in Germany.
German consumer and enterprise mobile expectations are unforgiving. App Store ratings drop fast on slow launches, broken push notifications or any release that ships with regressions. DSGVO governs every aspect of personal data processing. BaFin-supervised fintechs face strict requirements on customer-facing flows. DiGA-listed digital health applications have to evidence BfArM approval and BSI security assessment.
Buraq builds German mobile apps that handle all of this. Native iOS in Swift, native Android in Kotlin, or React Native when shared codebase economics make sense. App Store and Play Store optimisation for German storefronts, DSGVO-aware customer flows, and DiGA-aligned engineering for digital health.
What teams in Germany are up against.
The friction points we most often see when we start engagements in this market, and the ones our delivery plan is designed to remove.
App Store ratings dropping after the last release because QA missed iOS-specific regressions.
DSGVO obligations forcing customer flow changes nobody scoped properly.
Push notifications driving uninstalls instead of engagement because the strategy was never instrumented.
React Native apps that feel "almost-native" but lose users to truly native competitors.
Backend APIs designed for web that do not survive German rural network reality or offline scenarios.

Outcomes for Germany teams.
What we consistently deliver, the reasons operators pick us over generalist firms.
Approved on first submission
App Store and Play Store guidelines are engineered into the build process. We have never had a German client app rejected for guideline violations on first submission.
DSGVO engineered in
Consent management, lawful basis tracking, DSAR workflows and data minimisation built into customer-facing flows from day one.
Native-feeling React Native, or actually native
Honest recommendations on the native vs cross-platform decision based on your roadmap, performance requirements and team economics.
Backend that survives German reality
Optimistic UI, offline-first sync, push notification reliability, and API contracts designed for German network conditions instead of localhost ideal cases.
How we work, in detail.
Designed for German App Store economics
German App Store rankings are influenced by install velocity, retention curves, ratings and engagement metrics. We engineer for all four from version one. App Store Optimisation is part of the launch plan, not a marketing afterthought.
We have helped German clients launch from zero to hundreds of thousands of installs in their first quarter. Every launch is a coordinated effort across product, engineering and marketing, not an engineering deliverable thrown over the wall.
Built for German regulatory expectations
DSGVO and TTDSG have shaped what German mobile teams have to evidence. Lawful basis for every processing activity. Consent management that survives BfDI scrutiny. DSAR workflows that work end to end. Most apps were never designed for these requirements and now have to be retrofitted.
We engineer DSGVO-aware capability from version one. For DiGA-relevant healthcare apps, the same discipline applies to BfArM Fast-Track requirements, BSI security assessment, and the documentation Krankenkassen expect before reimbursement.

Germany questions, answered.
Have a question not listed here? Contact our Germany team and we'll get back to you.
01Should we build native or React Native?
If you have one platform-specific differentiator, build native there and React Native for the other. If your app is mostly forms, lists and standard interactions, React Native delivers 80% of native quality at 50% of the cost.
02Can you support DiGA Fast-Track applications?
Yes. We have direct experience preparing apps for BfArM DiGA Fast-Track including BSI security assessment, DSGVO documentation, interoperability standards and the evidence required for permanent listing.
03Can you handle BaFin-supervised mobile flows?
Yes. We support BaFin-supervised firms in mapping MaRisk and BAIT expectations into mobile flows, including secure authentication, audit logging, and the documentation required for regulatory inspection.
04Are your services billable in EUR?
Yes. All German mobile engagements are invoiced in EUR with VAT (Umsatzsteuer) handled per German tax requirements.
