About company
TouchZen is a California-based mobile app development agency with 75+ mobile apps shipped since 2014, 20M+ collective downloads, and 12+ apps featured by Apple and Google. Our portfolio includes SHRED, featured as Apple’s App of the Day, and FullyRaw, which reached #1 paid app in Food & Drink within one week of launch.
We are not a typical dev shop that simply takes wireframes and starts coding. Every project begins with competitive analysis and market research, helping us understand your users, competitors, and where your app fits in the market before a single screen is designed.
From there, we create full interactive prototypes in Figma, allowing clients to experience, test, and refine the product before development begins and before major investment is made.
Our team specializes in iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native, with senior engineers who stay involved from kickoff through launch and beyond. We work with early-stage startups building their first MVP as well as growth-stage companies scaling to millions of users, including Beachbody, SHRED, JetBay, Amalfi Jets, and GetCover.
TouchZen uses a hybrid model to keep budgets practical without compromising quality. Strategy, design, and project leadership are based in California, so clients always have a senior, stateside point of contact. Development is supported by a trusted global engineering team we have worked with for years, not random freelancers hired per project.
This structure gives clients the communication, accountability, and quality of a U.S. agency without the excessive price tag. It also allows us to be honest about what not to build, because we are focused on building the right product, not padding scope.
Many clients come to us after bad agency experiences involving missed deadlines, junior developers swapped in mid-project, or code that could not scale. TouchZen was built to be the opposite: a senior team, a research-first process, and founder-led oversight on every engagement.
