Improve your IoT solution with the IoT mobile app

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, the IoT mobile app 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 GitHub, 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.
How IoT mobile app improved tank level monitoring solution
For one water tank monitoring provider, the path to the mobile app was a gradual 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.
”Now that we have our own company-branded app on the Apple and Google stores — managed by ThingsBoard — we have confidence in codebase stability and clear branding.”
Today, the mobile app is the exclusive access point for their end customers. Through the app, users can configure SMS alerts for critical tank events. The shift to a managed, branded app has also changed how fast the product can evolve.
”A ThingsBoard-managed, company-branded mobile app combined with the TB IoT PaaS has allowed us to focus on what we do best — our IoT device hardware. TB PaaS combined with the mobile app is advantageous for any IoT startup.”

IoT mobile app for telecom - customer story
For one IoT provider, delivering data directly to clients meant finding an efficient path to a premium mobile experience. Instead of draining internal engineering resources, they partnered with ThingsBoard’s custom development services to build a tailored mobile application.
”Working with the ThingsBoard Development team on our custom Mobile App has been an outstanding experience. The process was smooth, well-structured, and highly professional.”
The project utilized a fixed-price, fast-delivery approach, giving the company cost certainty and a rapid launch. A key advantage was the app’s flexible architecture: the solution was designed so the client’s internal team could easily maintain and update widgets without needing mobile developers.
”The final mobile app exceeded our expectations—it is user-friendly, performs reliably, and brings our IoT data to the palm of our customers’ hands.”
Today, this custom mobile app is a vital business tool, allowing the company to better serve clients with a reliable, visually appealing interface while keeping future maintenance simple and cost-effective.

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 publishing service. 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.
