Why Android
Don’t leave Android customers out
A large share of UK phones run Android, across many devices and screen sizes. An iPhone-only app can quietly lose part of your audience. Max, our founder, designs and builds every app himself, based in Kent, so you deal directly with your Android app developer.
- Feels at home on AndroidBack gestures, notifications, permissions and Material-style patterns behave the way Android users expect.
- Tested across devicesChecked on a range of screen sizes and Android versions, not just one phone.

The tech
How we build Android apps.
Well-supported tools that any Android developer can pick up later.
- React Native with ExpoOne codebase that runs natively on Android and iPhone.
- Kotlin where neededFully native Android code for features that need it.
- Firebase or SupabaseSecure logins, databases, storage and notifications without running your own servers.
- Internal testing trackEach new build lands on your own Android phone through Google Play Console.
Launch
Getting live on Google Play
Google reviews apps against its Developer Program Policies before they go public. We handle the paperwork so launch day is not a surprise.
- Policies and testingData safety form, content rating and permissions done properly, plus the closed test new personal accounts need.
- Store listingIcon, feature graphic, screenshots and a description written to be found in search.
- Staged releaseWe roll out to a share of users first, check for crashes, then release to everyone.
Both platforms
iOS and Android together?
For most clients, yes. Every price on our pricing page already includes iPhone and Android. With React Native and Expo, one codebase ships to Google Play and the App Store, so new features land on both at once. See our iOS app development page for the Apple side.
- One codebaseOne set of features and fixes, rather than two apps drifting apart.
- Platform polishEach store still gets layouts, icons and behaviour that suit its users.

Good questions
Android app development, answered.
How much does an Android app cost?
From £2,495 for a Starter App, with iPhone included. Most businesses choose the Full App at £5,495, and App + Platform starts from £8,495. VAT and Google’s $25 one-off developer fee are extra.
Are you Android app developers or iOS specialists?
Both. We build for Android and iPhone, usually from one React Native codebase, using Kotlin where a feature needs native code.
Can I launch on Android only?
Yes, although most clients launch on both stores because the shared codebase makes iPhone straightforward to add.
How long does it take to get on Google Play?
A Starter App is usually live in about 4 weeks and a Full App in about 6–8 weeks. New personal Google Play accounts need a closed test first, which we plan in.
Will the app be in my name?
Yes. It is published under your own Google Play Console account, so you own the listing and the code.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes a 30-day warranty for bug fixes. After that, come back to us for new features or take the code to any developer.
