Mobile App Development

Android App Development for the Play Store and Beyond

Android runs on a very wide range of devices, screen sizes and OS versions. A native Android app is built and tested with that variety in mind.

What we deliver

Scope of a Android App Development Project

Native Kotlin Development

Apps written for Android using current tooling and design guidelines.

Device Range Testing

Testing across screen sizes and Android versions that matter to your audience.

Notifications and Background Work

Push notifications, location and background tasks handled within Android's battery and permission rules.

Backend and API

A server and API for accounts, data and admin, or integration with your existing backend.

Payments and Integrations

Payment gateways, maps, analytics and third-party SDKs added and tested.

Play Store Release

Key decision

When Is Android-Only the Right Start?

Your audience is Android-heavy

In many markets Android has the larger share of users. If your customers are mostly on Android, starting there is reasonable.

You need deep device features

Bluetooth devices, background services and hardware integration are often simpler with native code.

You need both platforms quickly

Consider Flutter or another cross-platform approach instead. See our Flutter and Cross-Platform pages.
