I keep small-business apps from breaking.
Apple and Google change the rules all year. Your app can work perfectly today and start crashing in September. And the customer who can't book, order or pay doesn't call you. They go somewhere else.
You get a one-page report of what's already broken and what's coming. No sales call unless you want one.
Apps I've built and shipped.
Not a portfolio of mockups: they're live, and you've probably used one this week. Tap them, they open in the App Store.

App Store · new review
“Ever since I updated my iPhone the app keeps closing.”
Every day it crashes is a day of orders that don't come in: 40 a day × $45 = $1,800 a day.
Your app ready before the new iOS ships.
The math · example40 orders a day × $45 × 3 days until someone fixes it = $5,400, plus the one-star reviews.
Apple ships the iOS beta in June and the final version in September. I test your app against every beta, fix what breaks and publish before your customers update.
- JuneiOS beta
- I test iton your app
- I fixwhat breaks
- September✓ already ready
What you getSeptember stops being a gamble. Your customers update their phones and the app keeps working.

Google Play Console
“Update your target API level by August 31.” It went to an inbox nobody checks.
Miss the date and Google Play stops showing your app to new customers, and you can't ship updates.
I watch the deadlines, not your forgotten inbox.
The math · exampleIf 30 new customers a month find you on Google Play and each is worth $120 a year = $43,200 a year that stops coming in while the app is hidden.
Apple and Google set dates for SDKs, permissions and privacy policies. I keep them on a calendar for your app and update in time. If a notice comes in, I handle it.
Google Play Console · PolicyYour app must target the latest API level by August 31.✓ Updated on July 12What you getYou never get pulled from the store or blocked from updating over a notice nobody read.

Notifications
Push notifications stopped arriving… and nobody noticed.
A certificate expired quietly. Reminders don't go out and customers miss their appointments.
Certificates renewed before they expire.
The math · exampleIf 5 more customers a week no-show without a reminder and each appointment is worth $50 = $1,000 a month until someone notices.
Push notifications, sign-in and payments all depend on certificates and keys with expiration dates. I keep track of them and renew early.

- June 15✓ renewed
- Reportin plain English
What you getReminders keep going out and nobody finds out there was ever an expiration.

Payment provider
“We'll retire the previous version of our SDK on November 3.”
That day the customer gets all the way to the pay button… and can't.
Third-party services updated before they cut you off.
The math · exampleIf the app takes $20,000 a month and payments fail for 4 days = ~$2,600 that doesn't come in, plus customers who don't come back.
Payments, maps, booking, sign-in: almost everything inside your app depends on a provider that gives months of notice. I migrate before the date.

- OctoberI migrate and test
- November 3✓ nobody noticed
What you getThe customer who reaches checkout actually pays.

Ratings
From 4.8 to 3.9 stars over a bug nobody fixes.
Fewer stars means fewer people download it, and the ones who have it complain in public.
You hear about crashes before your customers do.
The math · exampleIf dropping from 4.8 to 3.9 stars costs you 1 in 4 downloads and each new customer is worth $120 a year: at 40 downloads a month that's $14,400 a year less.
I set up crash monitoring: every time the app closes or something breaks, I get the details. I fix it before it turns into a review.
Before3.9 ★→Bug fixed + monitoring4.6 ★What you getThe rating recovers and stops scaring off new customers.

Messages
The developer who built the app stopped answering.
And the accounts, the code and the keys are in their name. Every change, even a small one, becomes a problem.
First I recover what's yours. Then I maintain it.
The math · exampleRebuilding an app from scratch because nobody has the code easily runs $40,000 or more. Recovering access and documenting it costs a fraction.
I help you recover the access that should be in your name, review the state of the code and document it so you never depend on a single person again, not even me.

App Store Connect
“Your update was rejected.” And nobody knows why.
Until it's fixed, you can't ship a single fix, and the promotion you planned slips.
I handle Apple's rejections.
The math · exampleA promotion that slips a week because the update won't go out can be that whole week's sales.
I read the rejection reason, reply to App Review the way Apple expects, adjust what's needed and resubmit. With a guaranteed 24-hour response.

Business to-do list
We want to add something new, but nobody dares to touch the code.
The feature that would grow the app sits on the list for months.
Development hours every month, and they roll over.
The math · exampleTaking bookings in the app instead of by phone can free up hours of front-desk time every week. Every month it waits is lost.
Standard includes 4 development hours a month and Priority 10. Unused hours roll over, so you can save up for something bigger. And every month I tell you what I'd improve and what it would cost.

Just me. That's the point.
I'm Bodgar, a mobile engineer based in Mexico City. For ten years I've built and maintained iOS and Android apps for companies like Google, Walmart, Venmo, Domino's and PetSmart, working with US teams. I work remotely and I'm available during US business hours.
You don't get handed to an account manager or a team that rotates every month. You talk directly to the person writing the code. I take on a small number of apps at a time so each one gets real attention.
When an app needs more, I build the new part too.
Products I designed, built and run myself: the app, the server, the payments and the database.

Consulta ↗Booking and billing for a psychology practice: online appointments, card payments, packages and reminders.
