Android app development services
An Android app built for the phone your customers actually own.
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, Material Design 3 done properly, and tested across the real spread of Android hardware — not just the flagship sitting on our desks. If cross-platform would serve you just as well, we'll say so before you pay for native.
- Android MVP from $14,500
- Built in 10–16 weeks
- You own the code and the Play Store account
Three reasons people come to us for an Android build.
Your users are mostly on Android.
Whether it's your market, your customer base, or simply where most downloads happen, the app needs to be right on Android specifically — not a cross-platform port that's almost right.
The app needs something only native can give it.
Deep hardware access, background precision, a widget, or a feature the platform itself has to provide directly, not through a workaround.
A cross-platform build let you down.
It felt slightly off, or hit a wall the framework couldn't get past. You want it done properly, once, in Kotlin.
Starting prices, so you can plan.
Typically, once the MVP has proven itself.
- More screens and integrations
- Play Store listing optimised
- Typically 16–28 weeks
- Multiple apps or a large-team rollout
- Security and compliance reviews
- Dedicated team available

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, Material Design 3 done properly.
Compose lets us build the interface declaratively and keep it consistent with the rest of the platform — animations, gestures and dark mode all behave the way an Android user already expects, without fighting the system to get there.
Kotlin, not a port.
Written for the platform from the start, not translated from somewhere else — so it behaves, and performs, like an Android app should.
Jetpack Compose UI.
Modern, declarative interface code that's faster to build on and easier to keep consistent as the app grows.
Material Design 3.
Dynamic colour, motion and components applied properly — not a generic UI kit with your logo on it.
One app, thousands of different devices.
Android runs on phones across a wide range of screen sizes, several OS versions still in active use, and hardware from last year's flagship to a budget handset with a fraction of the memory. We test for that reality, not just for the phone on our desks.
- A spread of screen sizes and densities, not just one reference device
- Back to the Android versions your users are actually still running
- Low-end and budget hardware, where memory and performance actually get tested
- Tablets and foldables, when your app needs to support them
Ready for review, not scrambling the week you submit.
Google's data-safety form, target API level requirements and permission justifications catch a lot of first-time submissions off guard. We prepare all of it alongside development, so submission day is a formality, not a scramble.
- Data-safety form completed accurately, matching what the app actually collects
- Target API level kept current to Google's requirements
- Permissions requested only where they're genuinely used, with justifications ready
- Store listing — screenshots, description and content rating — prepared before submission
The platform features that make an Android app feel native.
Google Maps
Location, directions and place search, built into the app rather than bounced out to a browser.
ML Kit
On-device text recognition, barcode scanning or image labelling — fast, and without sending data to a server.
Widgets
A home-screen widget that brings people back into the app without opening it.
From scope to the Play Store.
Scope
A scoping call and workshop: the core flow, the devices that matter most, and what "done" means. You get a written scope and a fixed price.
Design
UI screens in Material Design 3, reviewed as real, interactive screens before a line of Kotlin gets written.
Build & test
Development in sprints, tested continuously across a real spread of devices, screen sizes and Android versions.
Launch
Play Store submission, data-safety forms and listing handled, then we watch the first week of real installs.
Typical timeline: Android MVP 10–16 weeks; full product 16–28 weeks. What moves it: how many devices need explicit testing, and how quickly feedback comes back.
Sometimes cross-platform is the better answer — and we'll say so.
If your app doesn't lean on anything Android-specific — no deep hardware access, no background precision, nothing platform-only — a Flutter or React Native build reaches both stores for roughly 30–40% less, from one codebase. We'll say that in the scoping call, before you pay for a native build you didn't need. See Cross-Platform Apps →
