Android development

Android mobile apps - from idea to Google Play

We design, draw, write the code and take the app all the way to publication on Google Play. Native Kotlin, clear architecture, analytics and push notifications from the very first release. You get the source code and your own developer account.

Six stages of development

Brief and estimate

We break down the business task, look at competitors on Google Play and give a range for cost and timeline.

Technical specification

We describe every screen, role and scenario. Once it is approved, the price and the deadline are fixed.

Design

A prototype, then the UI following Material Design rules. We approve screen by screen, with no surprises at the end.

Development

We write in Kotlin in two-week sprints. At the end of each one you get a build you can install on your phone.

Testing

We test on real devices and different Android versions, close the bugs and prepare the Play listing.

Release and support

We publish, pass the Google review, monitor crashes and reviews. We hand the source code over to you.

Comparison

Native, cross-platform or a mobile site

So that you do not pay for the unnecessary: an honest comparison of three approaches for different tasks.

Parameter	Native Android	Cross-platform	Mobile site
Performance	Maximum	Close to native	Depends on the browser
Access to phone features	Full	Almost full	Limited
Push notifications	Yes	Yes	Partly
Cost of starting	Higher	Medium	Lowest
Time to release	6-10 weeks	8-12 weeks for two platforms	2-4 weeks
Who it suits	A product the business depends on	The same logic on Android and iOS	A simple catalogue or a business card site

Warranty on the code and the release

We do not disappear after handing over the archive. If after the release something works differently from what is described in the specification, we fix it free of charge.

What the warranty covers

90 days of free bug fixing
Resubmission to Google Play if the app fails the review
Transfer of the source code and access credentials into your ownership
Technical documentation and instructions for updates

FAQ

What people ask about Android development

How long does development take?

An MVP takes 4-6 weeks, a business app 6-10 weeks, a shop in an app 10-14 weeks. The countdown starts once the specification and the design are approved.

Who owns the source code?

You do. After full payment we hand over the repository, the signing keys and the access credentials. You are not tied to us and can pass the project to other developers.

Do I need a Google developer account?

Yes, and it is registered to your company: a one-time fee of 25 dollars. We help with the registration and with setting up the app listing, but the account stays yours.

What if Google rejects the app?

We prepare the privacy policy, the description of permissions and the materials before submission, so rejections are rare. If one does happen, we make the changes and resubmit at no extra cost.

Can we make an iOS version straight away?

Yes. If you need both platforms, it is usually cheaper to build a cross-platform app or to order iOS right after Android - the design and the back end will already be ready.

How is support calculated after the release?

The first 90 days of bug fixing are free. After that it is either a monthly support package or hourly payment for the work actually done, whichever suits you better.
