Mobile App Audit · Lancaster
Mobile App Audit in Lancaster
A mobile app audit for Lancaster organisations, built around a constraint the web does not have — you cannot make anybody update. Whatever version a user installed two years ago is the version they are still running, and every server change has to keep working for all of them or the app simply breaks in their hands.
Why this comes up
The problem
A third of active users are on a build from eighteen months ago, and there is no way to make them move.
What you get
What we deliver
- Version spread measured, showing what proportion is on which build
- Forced update capability assessed, since most apps have no mechanism at all
- Store requirements checked against upcoming platform target deadlines
- Dependencies reviewed for anything abandoned or no longer receiving fixes
- Permissions examined, including any requested that the app no longer uses
- Crash and start-up data analysed by device, where the real problems concentrate

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what mobile app audit would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Mobile App Audit in Lancaster — common questions
- Why does the version spread matter?
- Because it defines what your backend must keep supporting. If a meaningful share of users are on an old build, every API change has to remain compatible with it indefinitely — and teams who have never measured the spread routinely discover the number is far higher than assumed.
- What is a forced update mechanism?
- A check at start-up that can require the user to install a newer version before continuing. It needs to exist in the app already — it cannot be added retrospectively to builds in the wild — which is why its absence is one of the more consequential findings here.
- Why check store requirements?
- Because both platforms periodically raise the minimum they will accept. An app that cannot be updated because it targets an outdated platform version is effectively frozen, and where a security fix is needed that becomes an emergency with a several-week lead time.
- What do permissions have to do with an audit?
- They affect both trust and review. Apps accumulate permissions for features that were removed, and a request for location or contacts that the app no longer uses will be questioned at review and reduces installs — since the permission prompt is the point at which many people decide against an app entirely.
- Do you work with businesses across Lancashire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Lancaster and the surrounding Lancashire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Lancaster businesses do you usually work with?
- University-adjacent research and admin systems, and visitor booking for operators serving Lake District traffic. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Healthcare, Tourism, Manufacturing and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Lancaster?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Preston, Carlisle, Manchester. Lancaster is an urban area of roughly 50,000+, and we take on work across the wider Lancashire region rather than the city boundary alone.
