Android app development for phones, tablets and more
Android runs on thousands of different devices, which makes testing just as important as coding. Our Android app development team builds apps in Kotlin, tests them across a wide range of phones and tablets, and handles your Google Play launch.

What is Android app development?
Android app development is building apps for devices that run Google's Android operating system, including phones, tablets, smartwatches and some car systems. Native Android apps are written in Kotlin using Android Studio and Jetpack Compose, and are published on the Google Play Store.

Is it right for you?
When a native Android app makes sense
- A large share of your customers use Android phones
- Field staff use rugged Android devices or barcode scanners
- Your app needs deep access to device hardware
- You want an Android version of an existing iPhone app
Compare
Native Android vs cross-platform
Both can work well. It comes down to your audience and your features.
| Compare | Native Android (Kotlin) | Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | Android only | Android and iOS together |
| Hardware access | Full access, including enterprise devices | Most features, sometimes through plugins |
| Performance | The best possible | Very good for most apps |
| Best for | Android-heavy audiences and device-specific apps | Reaching both platforms with one codebase |

Why Kedra Digi
Why work with us
Designers, developers and testers work together in-house. Your project is never passed to a subcontractor.
Before any work starts you get an itemised proposal that explains what we'll build and how.
Source code, designs, documentation and accounts are handed over to you. There's no lock-in.
We monitor, maintain and improve what we build for as long as you need us.
Kedra Digi is an Australian-owned software development company. See our recent projects.
