Android App Development From a Local Team
Android runs on more phones than any other system in the world. Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola and many more all run it. If your customers or your staff carry Android phones, you need an app that works well on all of them.
We're Android app developers in Fort Lauderdale. We build native Android apps in Kotlin, the language Google recommends. We test them across screen sizes and Android versions, then publish them on Google Play in your name.
We build Android apps for startups, local businesses and companies with field teams. Many field and warehouse teams use Android devices because they come in rugged models at lower prices. Call (954) 751-4998 to talk about your app.
What's Included in an Android App Project
Planning and Scope
We set the launch features, the user types and the devices you need to cover. You get a written scope.
Screen Design
We design every screen to follow Google's Material Design, so the app looks and works the way Android users expect.
Kotlin Development
We write the app in Kotlin. It's modern, safe and fully backed by Google.
Backend and Admin
Accounts, data, push alerts and an admin panel, often built on Firebase to keep costs down.
Device Testing
We test on a range of real Android phones and tablets, from budget models to flagships.
Google Play Launch
We set up the store listing, handle closed testing and submit the app for Google's review.
Our Android Tech Stack
- Kotlin
- Firebase
- Google Play Console
Kotlin is the main language for Android today. Firebase gives your app sign-in, a database and push alerts without a big server bill. The Google Play Console is where we manage testing, releases and crash reports. If you already have a backend or an API, we connect to it.
What an Android App Costs
Most single-platform Android business apps cost between $20,000 and $50,000. A lean first version of a startup app can start at $15,000 to $30,000. A clickable prototype costs $9,500 to $15,000.
Apps that handle payments, health data or live GPS tracking cost more. A delivery or GPS app runs $25,000 to $75,000 or more. Your price depends on your features, your backend and how many devices you need to cover.

How We Build Your Android App
Free Consultation
We learn about your users and your goals. NDA on request.
Design and Prototype
You try a clickable version of the app before any code is written.
Build in Short Rounds
We share test builds so you can install the app on your own phone as it grows.
Google Play Launch
We run closed testing, then publish the app on Google Play.
Updates
Google ships a new Android version every year. We keep your app current.
Native Android Apps with Kotlin
Native Kotlin apps run fast and use the phone's full features: the camera, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and background tasks. They also follow Android's own look, so users feel at home from the first tap.
For apps that talk to hardware, like scanners, beacons or card terminals, native Android is often the best choice.
Building for Thousands of Android Devices
Unlike iPhones, Android phones come in thousands of models. Screens are big, small, tall and folding. Some phones run the newest Android. Others are a few versions behind.
We plan for this from the start. We set which Android versions the app will run on, design layouts that stretch to fit any screen and test on a mix of real devices. That keeps one-star reviews about "doesn't work on my phone" to a minimum.
Publishing on Google Play
Google Play requires some new developer accounts to test their app with real users before it goes public. Either way, we set up a closed test with real users, fix what they find and then submit the app for review. We fill in the data safety form and the content rating, and we handle any policy feedback from Google.
The Play Console account is set up in your name. You own the listing and the app.
When Native Android Makes Sense
Pick native Android when:
- Your users or staff mostly carry Android phones.
- The app needs full access to hardware or runs tasks in the background.
- You need an app for company-owned Android devices.
If you need iPhone users on day one too, a cross-platform build may save money. See cross-platform app development
Android App Development FAQs
How much does it cost to develop an Android app?
Most Android business apps cost $20,000 to $50,000. A lean first version can start at $15,000 to $30,000. Delivery and GPS apps run $25,000 to $75,000 or more. Your quote depends on your features and backend.
How long does Google Play approval take?
Google's review usually takes a few days, but some new developer accounts must first run a closed test with real testers. We plan that testing time into your launch date.
Kotlin or Java?
Kotlin. Google calls it the preferred language for Android, and it's what we use for new apps. If you have an older Java app, we can keep it running and move parts to Kotlin over time.
Do I need Android if most of my customers use iPhones?
Not at first. You can launch on iPhone, learn from real users and add Android later. We'll look at your customer data with you before you decide.
