Testimonials

Jeremy Irish
Jeremy Irishusa

Co-Founder at Geocaching

We needed Clockwise Software's help to build the prototype for our location-based chat application. Clockwise Software has exceeded our expectations regarding the quality of their work. They deliver on time and within budget. They're very responsive to issues. The team comes up with solutions and has excellent ideas to improve the project. Overall, it's an excellent partnership.

Dylan Serota

The Clockwise team was excellent. We are thrilled with the final product. They struck a perfect balance of being autonomous in their work and communicative at critical junctures.

Dan Weber
Dan Weberuk

President

I needed a larger development team to expand my company, and Clockwise Software has been instrumental in developing four mobile applications. They’ve provided QA testing, automated testing, and implementations using React, Redux, and Node.js. Two apps achieved 100% code and branch coverage, and another reached 99.4%. I’m very pleased with the quality of the work we’ve done together.

Travel apps we can build for you

How we develop travel apps

Here’s how we bring your product to life:

Discovery: Understanding what matters

Before thinking about timelines or design, we get clear on what you're building and why. We take the time to research your business, industry, and users, look at your competitors, and analyze your goals. Then, we work with you to define the core functionality your app really needs (not just what sounds nice to have).

We also map out the technical environment. What are the integration needs? Are there compliance concerns or performance risks? These are all things we identify early so we can plan accordingly.

Once we’ve gathered everything, we put together the product requirements. Then, we start shaping a roadmap that’s aligned with your goals and makes sense to build on. This is the foundation of reliable travel app development services.

Design: Creating a seamless travel experience

Design in a travel app has to make sense instantly, and we understand it. We design for clarity and speed, with mobile-first navigation, location-aware interactions, and minimal friction at every step.

Interfaces are crafted with accessibility and international use in mind. That means time zones, languages, currency formatting, and intuitive visuals that guide users quickly to what they need – rebooking a flight, checking a hostel’s reviews, or scanning a QR code for a train ride.

As a travel app development company, we make sure your app feels natural in users' hands.

Development: Building for real-world travel needs

Once we’ve defined what to build, it’s time to build it right. We pick a tech stack that fits your product needs – React Native, Swift, Kotlin, or whatever fits best for your platform and long-term plans. Our team codes for stability and flexibility so your app stays clean, scalable, and easy to maintain.

We work in short, structured development cycles, so you always see progress and can give input. Third-party systems, APIs, payment gateways, maps, or language support–we’ll integrate what’s needed to make your travel app app fully functional and future-ready.

Testing: Making sure it works as it should

No one wants surprises after launch. That’s why we test your app thoroughly – manually and with automation. We simulate real devices, different OS versions, slow networks, edge cases, and user actions. And if something breaks, we fix it.

Once issues are resolved, we test again until the app meets performance, security, and usability expectations. This repetition helps us catch not just bugs, but weak spots that could affect the experience later. Testing is one of the most important pieces of good travel app development solutions, and we treat it seriously.

Deployment: Launching without the turbulence

Getting your app live means meeting store requirements, preparing assets, writing metadata, and submitting for review. We manage it all, including technical preparation and direct communication with Apple and Google review teams.

If there’s feedback or questions from reviewers, we manage that process and get your app through approval. Our goal is to keep launch day calm, focused, and on schedule. You’ll be live, and ready for users to download with no unnecessary delays.

Growth: Keeping the momentum going

Getting your app to market is just the beginning. We stay involved post-launch to help you keep the momentum going: tracking real-world performance, analyzing user behavior, and making smart, data-driven updates that support growth. 

You can continue working with us long-term, or transition to your internal team when the time’s right – we’ll make the handover seamless with detailed documentation and onboarding materials, so your team can pick up and move forward without missing a beat.

Your app needs to grow alongside your business. We respond to your audience's changing needs, focusing on performance, usability, and readiness for global markets. That’s how we keep our travel app development services grounded in what really works over time.

Always on time

Budget stays grounded

Built-in problem solving

Nothing hidden

Timelines you can trust

Sick of launch dates slipping into the sunset? We stick to realistic schedules and a battle-tested workflow, so your travel app gets built on time – no drama. Our Schedule Performance Index (SPI) stays within 10%, and you’ll get steady updates along the way. If anything shifts, you’ll know before it becomes a problem..

Explaining things clearly

Can you support high-traffic and seasonal load peaks?

Absolutely. In our travel application development, we build using microservices so core features like booking, navigation, and notifications run separately. This makes it easy to scale the parts that get hit hardest during peak seasons. 

We deploy on cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. These come with auto-scaling, load balancing, and distributed databases to handle traffic surges. We also use CDNs to deliver media faster and async processing to keep everything smooth. Your travel app stays fast and reliable, even when everyone’s booking at once.

What experience do you have with maps, routing, and geolocation?

Plenty. We’ve built 10+ location-based platforms, helped London’s No.1 bus operator design a custom route-planning solution, and spent over four years working on a GPS-powered app for the global Geocaching community. We’ve built smart geolocation features into city guides, ride-hailing apps, and outdoor trackers. Real-time location, offline maps, multi-stop routing – we know how to make it accurate and reliable. With our travel app development services, you get location tech that just works, no matter how complex the use case.

Will you help me publish my app on the App Store and Google Play?

Of course. We handle the whole rollout process from start to finish. That includes compliance checks, preparing store assets, setting up beta tests, and managing the submission. Since Apple and Google love switching up their rules, we bake those requirements right into your build. This saves time and avoids delays. With our travel mobile app development team guiding you, your app launch won’t hit any unexpected bumps.

Can you take over a travel app project started by another team?

Yes, we can step in and take control. First, we do a full code audit to check what’s working and what’s not. If the code’s solid enough to build on, we jump in and take it from there. You’ll get clear technical ownership, steady progress, and clean communication. Our team’s done this before with multiple takeovers, so if your current dev setup isn't working, we can get things back on track fast.

Can you meet our quality standards?

Yes. We build travel application development projects with the same level of care and technical focus we bring to our most complex platforms. Our engineers are known for their precision and consistent output – something many clients say rivals or exceeds internal teams. You'll have visibility into planning, design, code, and testing. We’ve also supported clients with specific needs like setting up tailored QA workflows. If you're serious about quality, we’re aligned.

How do you keep us in control throughout the process?

You stay in the loop at all times. We give you access to project boards, live code repositories, and scheduled progress check-ins. Communication is open – our travel app developers are available for direct discussions as needed. If your plans shift, we adapt quickly. Nothing is hidden behind layers or delayed by misalignment. You stay close to the work, start to finish.

How will you help us retain expertise over the parts we outsource?

We keep everything documented and accessible – technical decisions, architecture, and delivery flows. Your internal devs can review code, read API docs, and stay updated via pull requests. When you're ready to transition work in-house, we support that handoff directly. Our approach to travel app development services is built to make long-term ownership easy for your team.

How can we be sure you’ll deliver exactly what’s agreed on?

We keep it real from the start. Everything's mapped out clearly: wireframes, designs, features, the whole plan. If some parts are still fuzzy, no problem. We help shape the scope with proper business analysis. You'll see early demos and builds, so you’re never guessing. With agile workflows and tight feedback loops, we stay aligned without getting off track.

Will the team be consistent so they understand our product and code?

We don’t shuffle teams around. Our folks stay. The average tenure here is 3.8 years, and our 2023 churn rate was just 5.5%. That means our developers stick with the project, learn your system, and keep the flow going strong. If someone does move on, all the key info is documented. New devs get onboarded fast and properly. You won’t have to deal with messy handoffs or constant re-explaining. Your code stays in steady hands.

How will we fully understand the outsourced code for internal maintenance?

We keep our code clean and fully documented. You get direct access to repos, comments, and architecture notes. In case you need extra clarity, we’ll walk your team through the setup live and answer any technical questions. That way, your team stays confident managing your tourism app development in-house.

Will language barriers affect communication?

No worries here. We work with international teams all the time – 98% of our clients are from the US and UK, so fluent, direct communication is part of our daily routine. We align on tools, timelines, and update cycles early in the process, so you’re always informed and nothing gets missed.

Will we retain full IP ownership of the product?

Yes – you fully own the code, design, and all deliverables. It’s clearly stated in the contract, with no hidden clauses or fine print. You get complete control over your tourism app development assets, and we don’t keep anything on our end once the project is done.

How do you handle continuity and stability given the situation in Ukraine?

We’re built to keep your project moving forward – no matter the circumstances.Our decentralized structure spans several international locations, including outside Ukraine, giving us a strong foundation of resilience. With independent energy resources, our operations remain unaffected by local disruptions like power outages.

How do you keep estimates accurate and our budget on track?

We base our estimates on PMI-backed planning and real project data. Budget and timeline variance stays under 10%, and risks are managed early. If scope changes, we discuss impact and adjust together.
