Android app development
A studio service
Kotlin and Jetpack. Material You.
Native Android apps in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Designed for the full device range — from flagship to mid-range. Google Play submission included. Fixed-scope.
N° 01Why native Android
Kotlin-first. Material You
Android runs on more than 70% of the world's smartphones. The diversity of that device landscape — screen sizes, OS versions, manufacturer customisations — is precisely why native Android development matters: cross-platform abstractions smooth over differences in ways that produce mediocre experiences on all platforms.
We build native Android in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Material You (Material Design 3) gives us a design language that adapts to the user's colour scheme, respects their accessibility settings, and feels native rather than imported from a different platform.
N° 02Technical approach
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
Kotlin is the official language for Android development. Jetpack Compose for modern declarative UI — faster to build, easier to maintain than the legacy View system. We use Views where the specific component or third-party library requires it.
Architecture: MVVM with Jetpack ViewModel, Repository pattern, Coroutines for async, and Room for local persistence. We follow Google's architecture guidelines and document deviations.
Device coverage: we test on real devices spanning the range of Android versions your users run (typically Android 10+), not just on emulators.
N° 03Google Play
Google Play ready. First submission
Google Play has stricter submission requirements than it used to. Data safety declarations, target SDK requirements, and content policy compliance are all checked before submission goes in.
Play Store Optimisation (ASO) is included: keyword-researched short and long descriptions, a screenshot set designed for the Play Store listing, and the feature graphic that converts browses to downloads.
N° 04What we build
Android product categories
01
Consumer Apps
Apps for the Android user base: emerging markets, global users who choose Android for value or ecosystem preference. Designed for the real device range, not just flagships.
02
Enterprise & B2B
MDM-managed enterprise apps, barcode scanning, NFC, and the offline-first architecture that field service apps require.
03
Fintech
Payment apps, digital wallets, and lending products. Android has a larger market share than iOS in most emerging market fintech geographies.
04
Healthcare
Patient-facing health apps, clinical tools, and wearable integrations with Samsung Health, Google Fit, and Health Connect.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Kotlin or Java?
- Kotlin for all new projects. Java only if you have an existing Java codebase that needs to be extended — even then, we prefer to migrate incrementally to Kotlin.
- Jetpack Compose or Views?
- Jetpack Compose for new UI on Android 7.0+. Legacy Views where a specific component or third-party library requires it. We use a hybrid approach where needed.
- How long does an Android app take?
- A focused Android app runs ten to fourteen weeks from discovery to Google Play approval. Apps with complex integrations or enterprise requirements run fourteen to twenty weeks.
- What does it cost?
- Android apps start at $26,000. Apps with significant backend work or enterprise requirements start at $48,000. Fixed-scope proposals after discovery.
- Do you build for both phones and tablets?
- Phone layout is the default. Tablet/large-screen layout is a separate design deliverable — scoped explicitly.
- Can you build for Android alongside an iOS app?
- Yes — we can build both natively (two codebases), or assess whether React Native or Flutter is a better fit for your project. We explain the trade-offs in discovery.
- Do you handle Google Play submission?
- Yes — submission, data safety form, metadata, and screenshot set are included in the launch phase.
- How do we start?
- Use the contact form with a brief description of the app, your target market, and your timeline. We'll respond within two business days.
