Welcome to The App Agency.

iOS design and development for iPhone and iPad.

The App Agency is a different approach to iOS app design and development. We don’t start with your brief, we create it. We rethink your requirements and pitch back our solution. The result is often wildly different from your initial expectations. It’s what you would expect from your creative mobile agency.

Tax Tracker App

Tax Tracker

Tax Tracker is a NZ income tax (incorporating terminal and provisional tax) budgeting tool to help you stay on top of your Inland Revenue tax debts.

Use this app to forecast your tax liabilities, determine your weekly budget, and plan for those payments before the due dates.

As they say, knowledge is power, so you now have the power to budget for those tax payments which are months away to ensure no tax surprises in the future.

Love-O-Matic App

Love-O-Matic

How does that couple match up? Using an advanced algorithm the Love-O-Matic Love Calculator will decipher and explain just how right two people are for one another... and it's fetching enough to whip out at parties!

Now you can email, Facebook, save and organise your results so recalculating your favorite couple is as easy as a tap of a button.

Juxsta App

Juxsta

Random image generator that is guaranteed to get you thinking and question how you feel!

However, The App Agency is in no way responsible for how this makes you feel. In fact everything is beyond our control including all images displayed within the Juxsta app.

It’s just random chaos that may make you laugh, frown, or perhaps even leave you feeling slightly uncomfortable.

About Us

With a combined experience pool of some 40 years within the advertising, research and the digital sphere, the Team at the App Agency bring together a unique mix of strategic and consumer insight coupled with a solid design and technical background.


Ross Blakely
Ross Blakely
Creative

The AppAgency’s ideas guy – Ross is not just a pie-in-the-sky thinker. His job is to take the big idea, break it up into little pieces and figure out how to make it happen.

Ross started out in design and communications some 35 years ago, before the ‘app’ was even a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye. He has a worked in New Zealand, Dublin and London and done design work for just about anyone who’s anyone, from Jaguar and Philips to the Imperial War Museum and the EU Presidency.

Now, taking his eons of experience in print, design and advertising he is applying it to the world of interface design. Ross, by contrast to other designers, is as comfortable in a boardroom as he is in his studio. He figures out what the client wants, what the business’ strategy is, and pulls that all into an app. The result is always just the right type of mixture of raw creativity and something that will successfully sell and meet market demand.

Nick Niblett
Information Architect

Anyone with an idea and a bit of coding nous can cobble together an app, but it takes Nick’s kind of experience to know exactly how the guy on the other end downloading the app is going to interact with it. Armed with that knowledge, Nick’s job is to find the holy grail of app design: how to make the thing easy to use.

For the past 8 years, Nick has been digging his way into the minds of the kiwi consumers, helping his clients figure out how they think. He’s worked with large corporates here and abroad, teaching them how to understand their customers better.

Now, Nick’s putting his research and user engagement brainpower to work, in the fast paced industry of app development.

Sam McEwan
Technology

Sam is the technical guru on the team and ties all the information and creativity into a back end that enhances the user experience.

Sam created Love-O-Matic, and continues to update this app with support from The App Agency team. The creativity exhibited by Sam, the geocaching enthusiast, with the Love-O-Matic, has paid off. The mobile app now averages 800 downloads a day, and has surpassed 750,000 individual downloads.

App sales funded McEwan’s university education at The University of Auckland, where he received his BSc and BCom degrees in Computer Science and Information Systems respectively.

Our smart technology guru, you really want Sam working on your next project!
