In Sydney

Android apps for Sydney's working fleets

Field teams, delivery crews and venue staff across Sydney depend on apps that start fast and survive a long shift. We use Kotlin and Jetpack Compose and test on the handsets your staff really carry.

Everything is shared in writing and on a shared board, so your Sydney team can follow progress without chasing anyone.

  • Modern, maintainable Android code
  • Rugged devices supported
  • Staged Play Store rollouts

Common situations

What Sydney clients usually ask us to solve

Apps needing performance

New Android apps benefit from native Kotlin, which gives smooth scrolling and direct access to the camera and sensors.

Rugged and kiosk deployments

Apps for scanners, shared tablets and locked-down devices need specific configuration. We build for the hardware your crews and counters rely on.

Legacy Java apps

Older Android apps written in Java can be modernised gradually in Kotlin, improving safety and reducing bugs without a full rewrite.

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.

1
Devices

The range of handsets and Android versions to support shapes the testing plan.

2
Features

Hardware features such as Bluetooth and scanners need extra work and device checks.

3
Code state

A new app is simpler than migrating an older Java codebase safely.

4
Back end

The APIs and services the app depends on affect how much we build.

5
Support

Android changes yearly, so updates are part of keeping the app healthy.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Why Kotlin rather than Java?
It is safer, shorter and Google's preferred language, which makes the app easier to maintain.
Can you migrate our Java app?
Yes, we can migrate your Java app step by step, keeping it working while the code moves across.
Do you build for rugged devices?
Yes, we build for rugged devices and test on the models your staff carry.
Can you work with our team?
Yes, we can work with your team, joining your calls and using your tools so nothing is duplicated.
Who owns the code?
You do. The code and your Google Play account are handed over to you.
How is it quoted?
We quote from an itemised proposal after discovery, so you can see exactly what is included.
What is Kotlin Multiplatform?
It's a way to share code, such as business logic and data handling, between Android and iOS while each app keeps its own native interface.
Do you build iOS apps too?
Yes. We build iOS apps in Swift, and can share code between the two with Kotlin Multiplatform.
Why Kotlin instead of Java?
Kotlin is more concise and safer, with fewer common errors. It is Google's recommended language, so new libraries and guidance support it first.
Do you support many Android versions?
We choose supported versions based on your users' devices, test across a range of phones and tablets and handle manufacturer-specific differences.
Can you add features to our existing app?
Yes. We review the code first, then add features in a way that fits the structure and does not make future changes harder.
How do you manage Play Store releases?
With staged rollouts, crash monitoring and policy checks, so problems are caught on a small group of users before everyone receives the update.
