+## Your Entire IoT Platform, Now in Your Pocket
+
+Managing an IoT deployment used to mean being chained to a desk.
+Whether you were monitoring energy consumption across a facility, tracking the health of field equipment, or watching for alarm threshold breaches, you needed a desktop screen.
+**The ThingsBoard mobile app changes that.**
+
+Available on both iOS and Android, <a href="/products/mobile-pe/" target="_blank">the IoT mobile app</a> brings the full power of your ThingsBoard dashboards to your smartphone.
+Real-time device data, alarm notifications, and interactive widgets — the same experience your team uses at their desks, now accessible from anywhere.
+
+### Core capabilities of the IoT mobile app
+- Monitor live device data and sensor readings in real time
+- Receive and manage alarms the moment they trigger, with push notifications
+- Interact with the same dashboards your team uses on desktop — no separate setup required
+- Control devices and sensors from your phone
+- Work in the field with confidence, even in environments with limited connectivity

+
+## IoT mobile app development - how you can do it
+Like the ThingsBoard platform itself, the mobile app is **fully open source**.
+The source code is publicly available on <a href="https://github.com/thingsboard/flutter_thingsboard_pe_app" target="_blank">GitHub</a>, so your team can inspect, customize, and build on it.
+There is no black box — just clean, extensible code that your developers can adapt to your exact requirements.
+For businesses that want to deliver a branded mobile experience without having to start from scratch, this is a significant advantage.
+
+## IoT mobile app development services - Clients' feedback
+The best measure of any tool is the **impact** it has on the businesses that use it.
+When your field team receives an alarm on their phone the moment a threshold is crossed — rather than discovering it hours later at the office — the window for response shrinks dramatically. 
+For businesses where uptime translates directly into revenue or safety, that difference is measurable.
+
+We reached out to clients who have been running the ThingsBoard mobile app in production to understand how it has changed their day-to-day operations — and what it has meant for the end customers they serve.

+      evolution — from the ThingsBoard browser interface to a self-maintained Flutter build,
+      and finally to directing customers to the ThingsBoard Cloud app. But without their own
+      branding on it, the customer experience felt disconnected and their brand identity
+      was diluted.</p>

+## Need an IoT mobile app development company? We are ready to build it for you
+A mobile-first experience is no longer a premium differentiator — it is an industry expectation.
+Your clients expect to monitor their assets from their phones. Your field teams expect to receive alerts the moment something changes.
+*And the ThingsBoard mobile app makes that possible today.*
+
+However, deploying a fully branded application — managing your logos, app store submissions, certificates, 
+and version updates — requires time and specialized resources that many businesses prefer to direct elsewhere.
+
+That is why ThingsBoard offers a white-label mobile app <a href="/pricing/?section=thingsboard-pe-options&product=thingsboard-cloud" target="_blank">publishing service</a>. 
+We handle the entire process: *branding the app with your identity, building the release, submitting to the stores, 
+and maintaining it as the platform evolves*. **You get a production-grade native app under your brand**, 
+without needing a single mobile developer on your team.
+
+Ready to launch your own branded IoT app? <a href="/contact-us/?subject=Custom%20Development%20Service" target="_blank">Contact our team today</a> for a live walkthrough of the white-label process.
