Android apps for Sydney customers and staff

Whether your audience is staff on managed devices or customers across Sydney's diverse communities, we start by listing the handsets that matter and testing on them.

When it helps, we can arrange to meet in person in Sydney.

  • Tested on real mid-range devices
  • Offline use for patchy signal
  • Source code and accounts in your name

Common situations

What Sydney clients usually ask us to solve

Trades, logistics and field teams

Crews moving across western Sydney and the harbour suburbs need apps that cope with weak signal. We build offline capture and sync, large buttons and clear screens for rough conditions.

Retail, hospitality and service brands

Customers expect ordering, loyalty and booking in an app. We build versions that load quickly on mid-range phones and use notifications sparingly so people keep the app installed.

Businesses replacing a weak app

If an existing app crashes or confuses people, we review it honestly, keep what works and rebuild what does not, so Google Play reviews can begin to recover.

What's included

What comes with this service.

The essentials of the service, plus the standards that come with everything we do. No hidden extras.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Will it work on all Android phones?
We target the devices that matter to you and test on them, since no team can test every model.
Can you publish to Google Play?
Yes. We set up the listing, content rating and data safety details, and manage releases through the Play Console.
Do you use Kotlin?
Yes, we use Kotlin, mainly, with Jetpack Compose for modern Android screens.
Can you fix an existing app?
Yes, we can fix an existing app, starting with a review so we know exactly what is wrong before we change anything.
Can we meet if we are in Sydney?
Yes, by video at times that suit an east coast working day, and in person by arrangement when it adds value.
How is it quoted?
We quote from an itemised proposal, so you can see exactly what is included.
Why test on so many Android devices?
Android runs on phones from many manufacturers, with different screen sizes and versions, so each can behave differently.
Can you turn my iPhone app into an Android app?
Yes. We can build a native app for Android, or suggest rebuilding both versions in Flutter or React Native if that suits you better.
Why native Android rather than cross-platform?
Native gives the strongest access to device features, performance and platform design. If your needs are simpler we will say so and compare cross-platform options with their trade-offs.
Which phones do you test on?
A mix of real phones and tablets, including older and lower-spec models, because emulators miss problems with memory, screen sizes and manufacturer customisations.
Who owns the code and the Play account?
You do. The developer account, signing keys and source code are set up in your name from the start, with documentation so you are never locked in.
Do you maintain apps after release?
Yes. Android versions and Play policies change regularly, so we offer maintenance covering updates, crash monitoring and compatibility fixes, whether or not we built the app.
