Android app development

Native Android apps, built in Kotlin for Google Play

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps that are fast on budget phones, polished on flagships and ready for Google Play’s rules on day one.

Overview

What we do

Android is our home platform. We publish our own apps on Google Play, from our first photo-effect apps to PhotoMax AI, which runs Real-ESRGAN super-resolution models on the phone’s GPU through C++ and Vulkan, and Pics Creation, which renders 110+ photo effects with OpenGL ES shaders.

That experience means we know the parts of Android work that tutorials skip: memory limits on low-end devices, background work restrictions, the 16 KB page-size requirement, ad consent, Data safety declarations and the yearly target-API deadline.

Kotlin & Jetpack Compose

Modern, testable apps using Compose, coroutines, Hilt and Room.

On-device AI & performance

NDK/C++, Vulkan and ML models running locally, so the app stays private and works offline.

Phones, tablets & foldables

Adaptive layouts that make good use of every screen size.

Google Play launch

Store listing, screenshots, content rating, Data safety and policy declarations done properly.

Monetisation

AdMob with consent (UMP), in-app purchases and subscriptions with Google Play Billing.

Upgrades & rescue

Migrate old Java apps to Kotlin and fix crashes, ANRs and slow start-up.

Proof

Android apps we’ve shipped

Both fully native: Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with C++/Vulkan and OpenGL ES doing the heavy lifting on the GPU.

How your project runs

  1. 01

    Discover

    A free call to understand your goals, users and budget. You get a written scope and estimate.

  2. 02

    Design

    Wireframes, then a clickable prototype you can try on your phone before we write any code.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints with a working demo every week, so you always know where things stand.

  4. 04

    Launch & grow

    Store and server launch, monitoring and ongoing improvements based on real usage.

FAQ

Android App Development: common questions

Do you build with Kotlin or Java?

New apps are built in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. We still maintain Java code and can migrate it to Kotlin screen by screen, without a big-bang rewrite.

Can you publish the app on Google Play for us?

Yes, under your own developer account. We prepare the listing, graphics, privacy policy, content rating and Data safety form, and manage the review.

Can the app work offline?

Yes. We design offline-first when it matters: local database, background sync and clear states for when there’s no connection. PhotoMax AI works fully in airplane mode.

Which Android versions do you support?

Usually Android 8.0 (API 26) and up, which covers nearly all active devices, and we target the latest API level Google Play requires.
