Building a mobile app with PlanetScale? Let us review it.
Expert code review for mobile apps built with PlanetScale. We fix PlanetScale-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common PlanetScale issues we find
Real problems from PlanetScale codebases we've reviewed.
Foreign key constraint workarounds
PlanetScale doesn't support traditional foreign keys. AI-generated code creates them anyway, causing deployment failures, or skips referential integrity entirely.
Connection string exposure
PlanetScale database URLs with credentials committed to source control or embedded in client-side code.
Missing connection pooling
Serverless functions opening new connections on every invocation instead of using PlanetScale's connection pooling or @planetscale/database driver.
No branch workflow for schema changes
Schema changes deployed directly to the main branch without using PlanetScale's deploy request workflow, risking production data.
Mobile App challenges to solve
Key mobile app concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
App Store and Play Store approval
Apple and Google have strict review guidelines covering permissions, privacy policies, content ratings, and technical requirements. AI-generated apps frequently get rejected for missing privacy disclosures, requesting unnecessary permissions, or failing to handle edge cases that reviewers specifically test for.
Offline functionality and network handling
Mobile users lose connectivity constantly — in elevators, on subways, in rural areas. AI tools build apps that assume a constant internet connection. Without offline caching, request queuing, and graceful degradation, your app shows blank screens or crashes when the network drops.
Device fragmentation and screen sizes
Your app needs to work on hundreds of different devices — from small Android phones to large tablets, with notches, punch-holes, and different aspect ratios. AI-generated layouts often break on devices other than the one used during development.
Performance and battery drain
Mobile users notice when an app drains their battery or feels sluggish. Unoptimized rendering, excessive API polling, background processes that never stop, and memory leaks are common in AI-generated mobile code. These issues cause uninstalls faster than missing features.
What we check
Key areas we review for PlanetScale mobile app projects.
App Store compliance — privacy policy, permissions, content guidelines
Network handling — offline mode, retry logic, connection state management
Device compatibility — layout on different screen sizes and OS versions
Performance — rendering speed, memory usage, battery impact
