An App Development Company You Can Trust
Our Mission
ArcTouch helps companies forge meaningful connections with their customers and employees through custom digital products. From lovable apps for phones and TVs to voice assistants and smart products, the software we create powers the connected lifestyle.
Since the dawn of the iPhone, we’ve worked with some of the world’s most recognizable brands, from Fortune 500 companies to influential startups, including 3M, Hawaiian Airlines, McCormick, Amazon, Lucid Motors, Quizlet, and more. Our client’s apps have been featured in the Apple and Google stores, and have received numerous industry awards. View our portfolio.
Our Story
Long before the iPhone, Eric Shapiro and Adam Fingerman were college roommates and then co-workers at Apple. When the App Store was announced, they knew there was going to be a business creating apps.
In 2009, they created ArcTouch and soon had Merck, Honeywell and Champs Sports as clients. Over the next few years, the company grew its technology expertise, and added app design and product strategy consulting services.
In 2016, ArcTouch was acquired by WPP and is now part of AKQA.
Since then ArcTouch has grown to over 250 team members and is recognized as a top mobile app development company. Our clients benefit from the hands-on expertise and care of a boutique specialist, with the stability and scale of a billion-dollar company behind us.
ArcTouch is led by an experienced leadership team of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and creative technologists.
Over a decade after launching our first app, we still follow our same founding principles:
- Create lovable apps, not just minimally viable ones
- Help our clients become superheroes, because long-term partnerships matter
- Treat every app like it’s our own, even if our name isn’t on it
- Stand behind everything we build with a Forever Warranty
Most of all, be an app development company that people trust.
