ANDROID APP DEVELOPERS
We design and build Android applications to help your business move forward and grow, this may mean bringing a new product to market for a founder or startup, or a more engaging user experience for scale-ups and the enterprise. From our offices in London and Surrey, we design, develop and submit to the Google play store android apps that are easy to use, drive conversions as well as retention and are simple to maintain.
We’ve built mobile applications for many sectors including, healthcare, retail, education, professional series and connected technologies. that all demand a strong design and user experience, effortless user journeys and attract positive App Store reviews.
We help define and deliver against your business goals
What Success Looks Like
Success for us is whether the app actually shifted the numbers, did it get more sign-ups or has user retention increased or did it simply generate more revenue.
Problems We Solve
From inconsistent design systems and poor user experiences or even outdated code we rebuild what’s already there or start fresh if we feel its quicker
We Optimise
Launch is when we get to watch how people use your app, where they drop off, what they gravitate towards and what they ignore.

CUSTOM ANDROID APP DEVELOPMENT
What We Build
Consumer apps: Engaging and intuitive Android applications that are built for everyday use cases, with a clean design, reliable performance, and user journeys that keep people coming back.
Business tools & dashboards: Internal applications that help your business processes become more efficient be it data capture out in the field or real-time dashboards or anything in-between.
E-commerce & booking apps: Similar to consumer apps but it matters more when there is money on it, they need hand to handle transactions smoothly, reduce friction and make the buying or booking effortless on any device.
Connected products (IoT): Applications get more powerful when they connect to devices, whether its healthcare devices, sensors for when you walk into a room or basic room control we have plenty of experience here.
Cross-platform systems: For when you need an application that is designed to work seamlessly on both iOS and Android with a single codebase and leaner ongoing support.
OUR ANDROID APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
How We Deliver It
We Start with Strategy: This is where we get to ask lots of questions, who it’s for, what does it needs to do and what would make it a success.
Designed with intent: We design Android apps that feel simple to use straight away, they should be intuitive to learn, natural to use and guide the users to what they want to do.
Seamless integrations: For when the applications need access to additional data sources or devices, we connect them to the right systems, whether is your CRM or ERP system, through to IoT devices and third party APIs.
Easy to maintain: We believe your app should be easy to maintain so you can look forwards to new features or drain your budget in endless regression testing and fixes,
Post-launch iteration: Launch is where we get to track how people use the app, what they do, where they get stuck and how often they come back, this is the fun bit right.
THERE ARE SO MANY ANDROID DEVICES
OUR POINT OF VIEW ON ANDROID
Android’s strength has always been reach, it’s the world’s biggest mobile platform, sitting in the hands of billions of people across a range of devices rom entry-level phones to foldable and wearables. This scale brings opportunity, and flexibility but but also some complexity.
We like that challenge as it forces you to think wider, across different devices, network speeds and user habits.
For us Android is a way to connect with users everywhere, whether that’s powering a global brand, a niche product or a new startup that’s about to take off.
FAQs
Questions we are asked before we are hired
How do you handle complex apps?
This really depends where the complexity sits. If it’s lots of user traffic or data, we look at a API design, caching, data encryption and load balancing. If it’s user flow, we plot each step in the user journey in the design phase. Our mobile app developers use Android Studio or rapid development cycles and constant testing to keep performance predictable and consistent.
What happens after launch?
This is where the fun bit starts, it’s where we get to see how real users interact with the app. We gather user feedback, fix bugs and roll out security patches in our post-launch support, ongoing maintenance retainers.
How do you define project scope?
We start by asking questions, lots of question so that we can map out the app requirements into a project scope, with all the features, integrations, personas , user journeys and deadlines into a digital strategy. Every project has a project manager who keeps things aligned and helps you understand the trade-offs when priorities shift.
What makes a great user experience?
To get great user engagement you need a good user interface that feels natural, respond quickly and guide people where they need to go intuitively. We design adaptive layouts so the app feels natural on every android screen size and use real device testing to find where it breaks.
How do you keep apps secure?
We have been many high profile apps and understand the complexities of enterprise CISO departments, what ISO standards we need to comply to and implementing robust security measures is not our first rodeo, we look at they we are capturing data, whats the classification of that data and what levels of data encryption is needed, All of this this is great but you still need to remember to perform your security patches each month.
What makes a great app launch?
Unfortunately this not all about being technical, its won and lost in the preparation, how are going to tell your audience about the app, what digital marketing campaigns are you running. We can help with these as well as the App Store submission.
How do you handle different devices?
Whilst the Android platform has great global reach it can be tricky, you’ve got hundreds of different screen sizes and a mix of old and new phones as the eco system does not upgrade as often as IOS does. We design adaptive layouts, that respond properly across them all, and we test on real devices as well as simulators.
Can you work with existing code?
Yeah, we do that all the time, half of our projects start from something already built by other mobile app development companies. We audit what’s there, find what’s not working and rebuild only what’s worth fixing. Sometimes it’s faster to start over, sometimes not.
How do you make apps easy to use?
We always look to keep things simple when we design user friendly and intuitive applications. The users should not need manuals or training in how to the app and with a clean layout, careful planned user journeys the design should get you towards achieving your companies goals.
What industries do you work in?
We have a world with a lot a pretty diverse range, we’ve built applications for healthcare, hospitality, retail, education and connected products, Each one’s different and has its own nuances but whats common its a great user experience, reliable performance and are easy to maintain.
How do you measure success?
It’s never just about seeing the app in the google play store, it’s what happens next. did it increase sign-ups? did it Improve retention? or did the revenue numbers shift. The better the user engagement, and the stronger conversion usually results in steady business growth.
Can you build for iOS too?
Yeah we do this a lot and often IOS and Android projects come together. Our mobile app development services covers everything from native apps to hybrid app builds or even cross platform app development with the web.
We were going in circles until Ronins stepped in, they got us focused, showed us what mattered, and built a solution that didn’t rip out everything we’d already invested in.
