15 Mobile App FYP Ideas With Stack and Phone Features (2026)

A mobile app FYP stands out when it uses what only a phone can do: the camera, GPS, sensors, notifications and working without a signal. These 15 mobile app FYP ideas each list the modules to build, a suggested stack, the phone features you will use and the services you can test for free as a student.

Pick an idea your group can demo on a real phone, not only an emulator. None of these repeat the mobile ideas in our main list of 70 FYP ideas for computer science students.

FYP ideas by degree: AI · software engineering · IT · cyber security · data science · web development · Python · computer engineering (IoT) · business (BBA) · all 70 CS ideas

Free tools you can use as a student

• Firebase on the free Spark plan: login, a database and push notifications
• Google ML Kit: on-device text recognition and barcode scanning, with no server needed
• OpenStreetMap through flutter_map or osmdroid, if you want maps without a billing account
• Firebase App Distribution: send test builds to your supervisor and testers

Flutter, Kotlin or React Native?

Choose Flutter if you want one codebase for Android and iOS. Choose Kotlin if your idea depends on deep Android features, as ideas 1, 9, 14 and 15 do. Choose React Native if your group already knows JavaScript well.

15 mobile app FYP ideas

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to publish our FYP app on the Play Store?

No. A Google Play developer account costs a one-time US$25 fee, and a new personal account must run a closed test with real testers before it can publish to everyone. For the demo, share the APK or use Firebase App Distribution.

Does a mobile FYP need a backend?

Most do: for login, syncing between devices and an admin panel. Firebase is enough for many ideas; use your own API when you need custom rules or reports.

How do we make sure the app works on cheaper phones?

Test on an older Android phone with 2 or 3 GB of RAM, keep images small, and check that the app still works with a weak or no signal. Panels often ask about this.
