# before-you-start
The practical questions.
Can you support phones, tablets, and foldables?
Yes, when included in scope. We agree device and screen-size coverage before design and testing, so the release criteria are clear.
Can the app work with our current backend?
We review your APIs, authentication, and data access before recommending changes. A new mobile app does not automatically require replacing the systems you already use.
Do you support offline use?
We can scope local storage, synchronization, and conflict handling for the actions users need offline. Those decisions depend on the data and the consequences of a delayed update.
Who owns the Google Play account and code?
Your app is released through your Play Console account. Source code and handoff documentation are delivered as defined in the signed scope.
