APP DEVELOPMENT — FRESNO & CENTRAL VALLEY

App Development in Fresno — Android, iOS & TV Apps

Cross-platform apps built with React Native and Expo — for phones, tablets, and TVs. One Fresno developer, end to end: interface, video layer, offline behavior, and error recovery, tested on real hardware.

THE APP GAP

Custom apps sound like something only big companies can afford.

Talk to an agency and the quote has a comma in it. Try a drag-and-drop app builder and you get a template that breaks the first time your workflow doesn't match theirs. So the ideas that would actually help — a tool your crew opens every morning, a screen for the lobby TV, an app your customers keep on their phone — stay ideas, and the day-to-day keeps running on group texts, spreadsheets, and paper. An app isn't out of reach. It just needs to be built at the right size.

WHAT I BUILD

Cross-platform apps, built end-to-end by one Fresno developer

I design and build cross-platform apps with React Native and Expo, so one codebase runs on Android and iOS — and, when the job calls for the big screen, on Android TV and Fire TV too. Built end-to-end means exactly that: the interface, the data layer, the video and streaming layer when you need one, offline behavior, and error recovery are designed together by one person instead of stitched from plugins. And everything is tested against real hardware — actual phones and actual low-cost TV devices, not just a simulator — because that's where your app has to survive.

This is the same engineering I've spent the last three years doing for a regional food-service company — internal dashboards, a driver app with offline barcode scanning, production-floor systems that aren't allowed to fail at 6 a.m. When I build an app for a Central Valley business, it gets that production-software treatment: clear error states instead of mystery crashes, data that survives a dead zone, and updates that don't break what already works. You work with me directly the whole way — one developer who designed it, built it, and answers the phone when you have a question.

What's included

One codebase, every platform

React Native and Expo let a single codebase ship to Android and iOS — and to Android TV and Fire TV when your app belongs on a television.

Interfaces built for the input

Phones get thumb-friendly layouts; TVs get D-pad-first navigation that works from the couch with a remote. Every screen is designed for how it's actually driven.

Video and streaming layers

Player screens built on ExoPlayer with a stream-recovery state machine, so playback reconnects cleanly when a connection drops instead of freezing.

Offline behavior that holds up

Work is saved locally and synced when the signal returns — built for warehouses, job sites, and rural cell coverage.

Error recovery, not error screens

Failures are designed for up front: clear states, automatic retries, and no dead ends that make your crew force-close the app.

Tested on real hardware

Every build runs on physical phones and low-cost TV devices before you see it, because real hardware finds what simulators miss.

Who it's for

Fresno, Clovis, and Central Valley businesses with a workflow that belongs in an app instead of a group text — field crews confirming jobs, a counter tablet taking orders, a lobby TV that should be showing your menu or schedule, or a customer-facing app you've only ever been quoted agency prices for. If you're not sure whether you need an app or a website, that's exactly what the free review sorts out.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES

ShoushaTV — a full television app, built end-to-end

A 10-foot television app built for the remote, not the mouse: D-pad-first navigation, an EPG/XMLTV program guide, favorites, watch history, and catch-up TV. It ships completely empty — the app bundles no content and plays only from stream credentials the user enters.

Under the surface: an ExoPlayer-based video layer with a stream-recovery state machine that reconnects cleanly on flaky connections, tuned for low-cost TV hardware. Built end-to-end with React Native and Expo; running on Android TV and Fire TV by direct install, with an iOS beta in TestFlight — on my own TV daily and in the hands of a small beta group.

HOW IT WORKS

Clear scope. Clear timeline. No surprises.

Every project follows the same four steps so you know what you’re getting, what it costs, and when it ships — before you pay a dollar.

how it works

> four steps, no surprises

STEP 01

Free Website Review

Send your current site or describe what you need. Within 48 hours, you get a short video walkthrough showing what’s working, what’s broken, and the highest-impact fixes.

STEP 02

Scoped Proposal

If you want to move forward, you get a one-page proposal with exactly what I’ll build, the flat price, and the delivery date. No hourly billing. No surprise charges.

STEP 03

Build in 1–2 Weeks

I build the site, set up forms, configure your domain and email, and send you a preview link. One round of revisions is included.

STEP 04

Launch & 30-Day Support

I take the site live, hand over your login and account details, and you get 30 days of free fixes. Optional monthly maintenance after that.

Total: 10–21 days

WHO BUILDS YOUR SITE

Built by one person who actually answers the phone.

Hi — LocalFix is run by one developer, not an agency. I've spent the last three years building production software for a regional food-service company: internal tools, dashboards, and the mobile tools drivers use every day. LocalFix is where I bring the same engineering to local businesses — without the agency price tag. You'll work directly with me from the first message to launch. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no "we'll get back to you next week."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of apps can you build?

Cross-platform mobile apps for Android and iOS, television apps for Android TV and Fire TV, and the systems behind them — interfaces, video and streaming layers, offline workflows, and dashboards. I build with React Native and Expo, so one codebase covers every platform you need.

How much does app development cost?

App pricing isn't one-size-fits-all, so I don't publish a figure. After a free review of what you want to build, you get a flat-price quote and a delivery date in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprise charges.

Do I need an app, or is a website enough?

Honest answer: sometimes a mobile-friendly website is the better first step, and I'll tell you when it is. An app earns its keep when your team or customers use it daily, need it to work offline, or need hardware features like barcode scanning or a TV interface. The free review tells you which one your business actually needs.

Can you really build TV apps?

Yes — I build and run one. ShoushaTV is a full 10-foot app on Android TV and Fire TV with D-pad navigation, a live program guide, and an ExoPlayer video layer, tuned for low-cost TV hardware and running on my own TV every day.

What happens after the app launches?

You get 30 days of free fixes while the app settles into real use, with optional monthly upkeep after that. Because I built every layer, there's no vendor to chase — the person who wrote the code is the one maintaining it.

Do you only work with businesses in Fresno?

No. I'm based in Fresno and work throughout Clovis, Madera, Sanger, Selma, Visalia, Kerman, Hanford, and the wider Central Valley — and since app work is handled remotely, I take on clients anywhere in California.
