Strasbourg-area mobile app studio building Flutter apps for startups and public bodies
About AppStarter
AppStarter is a small app development studio based in the Strasbourg area, in Illkirch-Graffenstaden, just south of the city. The studio started in 2020 and has a team of four. It runs two web addresses: appstarter.fr, which promotes delivering an app in three weeks, and appstarter.agency, which carries its service, technology, project and location pages in French and English.
The founder is Freddy Nawfal. He set up the studio after watching sound projects fail because the agencies behind them did not understand the client's business. That is why AppStarter studies a client's field and questions the idea before building anything. Nawfal studied computer science at the University of Strasbourg, finishing his MSc in 2021, and has worked as a freelance Flutter developer since 2019. He is also linked to two other app businesses, 80bucks (The App Company) and AppsTrends, and holds an Apple Search Ads certification from 2024.
The studio is mainly about apps, not search marketing. Its site has pages on Flutter development, product services, maintenance and support, social network app builds and app growth work such as paid social ads. Nawfal's portfolio includes Au Boulot à Vélo, an app for the City and Eurométropole of Strasbourg that reached 860 registered establishments and 17,000 users between 2021 and 2024. Other work includes the huoltu Android and iOS app and an app for the CFTC union at Stellantis France, which also has a project page on the AppStarter site. Its clients range from early-stage startups to large groups and public bodies.
The studio has one review on La Fabrique du Net, rated 4.11 out of 5, from the founder of PayBat, who said he was very satisfied with the support and the resources put in. Typical budgets are 15,000 to 40,000 euros per project.
No dental, medical or healthcare clients and no dental SEO offer appear in its published work. For a dental group, AppStarter is relevant only for a custom mobile app, such as a booking app or patient app. It is not a fit for ongoing local SEO or Google Business Profile work.
