App development in Edinburgh.

Kurchu Software Solutions builds iOS and Android apps for Edinburgh's financial firms, tourism businesses and university spin-outs, working remotely from Lahore, Pakistan. Scotland follows the same UK GDPR as the rest of the UK, so apps are built to it, to FCA expectations where relevant, and on hosting that scales for the August festival peak.

Yes, from Lahore, Pakistan. For financial-services clients in Edinburgh, the practical question is usually governance rather than distance: we work in your repositories and cloud accounts, under your access controls, so you can revoke access at any time and audit every change. Lahore is four to five hours ahead, so calls fall comfortably inside your working day.

With us, focused MVPs typically start in the mid five figures, while full platforms with several apps and an admin panel run into six. Financial-services apps cost more than consumer apps of the same size because of security work: multi-factor sign-in, encryption, penetration-test fixes and audit logging. We list those items separately in the GBP proposal so your risk team can see exactly what is included.

Not for data protection: it is reserved to Westminster, so UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply in Scotland exactly as in England. Contract and consumer law can differ under Scots law, so your terms of use and any subscription wording should be reviewed by a Scottish solicitor. We build the consent, privacy and cancellation flows; they confirm the legal text.

Yes. Ticketing, booking and visitor apps are built on hosting that scales automatically, with caching and load tests run at several times your expected August peak before launch. Busy screens such as listings and timetables are cached on the device, so they still open on overloaded mobile networks around venues. You pay for the extra capacity only while it is used.
