Android Development

Native Android apps built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose

Material Design 3, modern architecture, and the performance that 3 billion Android users expect.

Google Play has 3.95 million active apps and generated $49 to $63 billion in revenue in 2025. Android powers over 70% of mobile devices worldwide. 60% of the top 1,000 Play Store apps now use Jetpack Compose, up from 16% in October 2022. Over 90% of the top 1,000 apps include Kotlin. The platform has moved decisively to modern tooling, and the apps that perform best are built with it.

Why Kotlin and Jetpack Compose

Google declared Kotlin the preferred language for Android development in 2019. As of 2025, over 90% of the top 1,000 Google Play apps include Kotlin. Jetpack Compose adoption hit 60% of top apps, with 125,000+ Compose apps published on Google Play. Notable adopters include Airbnb, Disney+, Spotify, ChatGPT, and Google Play itself. Compose performance now matches traditional Views in December 2025 benchmarks.

We do not build Android apps with Java. Kotlin’s null safety eliminates the #1 crash cause in Java apps (NullPointerException). Kotlin requires 40% less code for equivalent functionality. Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) usage jumped from 7% to 18% in 2025. For new projects, Kotlin is the only defensible choice.

Material Design 3 and beyond

Material Design 3 (Material You) introduced dynamic color, where the app’s color scheme adapts to the user’s wallpaper and preferences. It is not just a visual gimmick. It makes apps feel like they belong on the device. We implement Material Design 3 because it is the design language Android users expect, and it creates a polished, platform-native experience.

Beyond Material: we build custom design systems when the brand requires it. Material provides the foundation. Your brand provides the personality.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Ask us directly
Should I build native Android or cross-platform?

If you need deep platform integration, best performance, and Google Play featuring consideration, go native. If you need to ship iOS and Android simultaneously with a limited budget, React Native is a reasonable trade-off. We help you decide in the discovery phase.

How long does Android app development take?

8 to 14 weeks for a focused MVP, same as iOS. If you are building for both platforms, we can run iOS and Android development in parallel.

Do you publish to Google Play?

Yes. We handle the full submission: store listing, screenshots, metadata, content rating, and review guideline compliance.
