Mobile App Development
Android apps that work well on the phones your customers carry
Android runs on thousands of different devices. We build native Kotlin apps that stay fast and reliable across them, from budget phones to tablets.
The problem
The problem this solves
Android is the most widely used mobile platform in the world, and in many markets it is the only one that matters. But it is also the most varied. Screen sizes, memory, Android versions and manufacturer changes differ widely. An app that is smooth on a flagship phone can be slow or broken on the mid-range devices many customers actually use.
Field teams add their own demands. Drivers, technicians and inspectors need apps that work offline, scan barcodes, capture photos, use location in the background and run on rugged devices. Consumer apps need small download sizes and good performance on limited data plans.
For these cases we build natively in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. We design for Material guidelines, test on a range of real devices and Android versions, and keep the app lean. When the same app also needs iOS, we will compare native with a cross-platform app on cost and capability before you decide.
AI speeds up the repetitive parts of Android development: screens, data layers, networking and tests. Our engineers focus on the things that are hard to get right on Android, such as background work, battery use, offline sync and device fragmentation.
Distribution matters too. Beyond Google Play, some business apps are installed directly on company devices through device management tools. We set up whichever route fits, including internal testing tracks and staged rollouts. Your company owns the Google Play account and the signing keys, so the app is always yours to update or move.
What you get
What you get
-
A native Kotlin app
Built with Jetpack Compose and modern Android architecture.
-
Material design
Screens that follow Android conventions and adapt to different screen sizes.
-
Offline-first data
Local storage and sync so the app keeps working without a signal.
-
Device features
Camera, barcode scanning, location, notifications and background tasks.
-
Backend connection
Secure communication with your Backend and other systems.
-
Device testing
Testing on a spread of real devices and Android versions, not just one phone.
-
Google Play release
Store listing, data safety form, internal testing tracks and staged rollout.
-
Crash and performance monitoring
Field reports so issues on specific devices are found and fixed.
How we build it
How we build it
-
1
Discovery
We confirm the devices, Android versions and features the app must support.
-
2
Design
Screens and flows prototyped for different screen sizes.
-
3
Build
Kotlin app built in cycles with test builds on your devices.
-
4
Device testing
Automated tests and manual checks on a range of real devices.
-
5
Release
Internal test track, then staged rollout on Google Play or device management.
AI and people
Where AI helps, where people decide
AI makes the repetitive parts faster. The decisions that shape your product stay with experienced people.
Where AI speeds things up
-
Generating Compose screens and view models from designs.
-
Writing data, networking and sync code.
-
Producing unit and instrumented tests.
-
Grouping crash reports by device and likely cause.
-
Drafting Play Store listings and data safety answers.
Where people decide
-
Which devices and Android versions to support.
-
Offline behavior and how conflicts are resolved.
-
Battery and data usage trade-offs.
-
What data the app collects and why.
-
When the app is stable enough to release.
Is this right for you?
When this is the right choice
A good fit when
-
Most of your users or staff use Android devices.
-
The app needs offline use, scanning or background location.
-
You distribute apps to company-managed devices.
Consider something else when
-
You need iOS as well and the app is mainly screens and data. Consider cross-platform.
-
Users only need occasional access. A progressive web app may be enough.
Timeline and cost
What affects the timeline and cost
A focused Android app with core screens and a backend connection usually takes a couple of months to reach Google Play. Offline sync, hardware integrations and support for many older devices add time.
We do not publish fixed prices because scope drives cost. How we estimate.
-
Screens and flows
The number of screens and user flows in the first release.
-
Device range
Supporting older Android versions and many devices adds testing.
-
Offline sync
Reliable offline work needs local storage and conflict handling.
-
Hardware features
Scanners, printers and sensors each need integration and testing.
-
Backend
A new backend and APIs add significant scope.
-
Device management
Enterprise deployment and security policies add setup work.

FAQ
Questions about android apps
Have a question that is not here? Ask us directly.
Native Android gives the best performance and access to device features, and suits apps for field teams or Android-heavy markets. If you need iOS too, compare with React Native and Flutter.
We agree a minimum Android version and a list of test devices based on your users. Supporting very old versions is possible but adds cost.
Yes. We design offline-first apps that store data on the device and sync when a connection returns, with clear rules for conflicts.
Yes. Business apps can be distributed through device management tools or as private apps. See app store launch.
