Your service. Your product. An app in their hands.
A nurse checking today’s visits in a home with no signal. A customer reordering on the train. A member booking a class from the couch. When the work happens on a phone, the app has to be fast, simple, and dependable.
Rocket Driver builds iPhone and Android apps for customers, field staff, and new products, along with the admin tools, accounts, and system connections behind them.
Discuss who will use the app, what they need to do, and what a useful first release could include.
Custom app projects start at $5,000. Larger products and connected systems may require substantially more.New York based. Working with businesses and agency partners since 2011.Examples on this page are illustrative.
Make the app useful at the moment it matters.
People keep an app when it saves them a step they take often: the reorder, the next booking, the update from the field. Start with that step and build everything else around it.
Features depend on the agreed scope.
Give customers a reason to open it.
Saved preferences, quick reorders, rewards, and useful notifications can make buying again easier.
Let members book without calling.
Fitness, hospitality, and membership businesses can let people book, manage a plan, and check in, while staff keep control of schedules and capacity.
Keep work moving away from a desk.
Field staff can see assigned work, follow checklists, and capture photos or signatures on site. Selected tasks can work without a signal, with updates sent when the connection returns.
Turn a new service into a mobile product.
Build the core action people will pay for, whether they are joining a service, managing an account, or tracking progress. Plan the first release and its administration before growing the feature list.

The family books. The nurse’s phone updates.
In an app Rocket Driver builds, a tap on one phone reaches the right person’s phone, with the details they need to act. Here Lindsey books a visit for her father, and the visiting nurse sees it on his route.

Every tap needs something behind it.
What happens after someone taps “Order”? Where does the booking go? Who can change an account, and what does the office see when a visit is marked done?
We plan the app alongside the backend, staff controls, and integrations it depends on: accounts, payments, notifications, camera or scanning, offline storage, and access to the business information people need. The project decides which of those belong in the first release.
Rocket Driver is one team for the app, its integrations, and the website and marketing that bring people to download it.
From idea to app store, in four steps.
Define the task and the users.
Work through who the app serves, what they need to accomplish, and why an app is the right fit. Sometimes a mobile website or web application meets the need for less, and we will say so.
Plan the experience and the connections.
Agree on the screens, platforms, administration, data access, and integrations. Set the scope, responsibilities, and review points before development begins.
Review the working application.
Check the agreed journeys, device behavior, permissions, and connected systems as the build develops. Project decisions and feedback are organized in Basecamp.
Prepare for release and ongoing care.
Agree on distribution responsibilities, required accounts, handoff, and support. Store approval remains with the app store. Monthly maintenance and improvements follow a separately scoped agreement.

What should your app make possible?
A customer reordering in seconds. A nurse closing out the visit record before leaving the driveway. Your first users getting their hands on a new product.
Tell us who the app is for and the action it needs to make easier. We’ll discuss the first release and what it would take to build it.
