Pricing of app development depends on these factors:

  • the skills required
  • the amount of work to be done
  • the amount of time it takes
  • how soon the client wants it done
  • expenses incurred as part of the development process
  • competition for the job
  • final quality and completeness
  • whether payment is upfront, revenue sharing, or a combination of the two (probably all upfront in this case)

I really don't have a ballpark figure. Mass-market retail is a difficult business, and the people involved may not understand or care about mobile apps.
