Android apps built in Kotlin and Jetpack — optimized for the full range of devices Canadian users carry. No cross-platform compromises. Full Google Play and Google Services integration from day one.
151 Digital builds native Android apps for Calgary businesses and Canadian startups. We design for real thumbs and real devices — budget phones to flagship tablets — and we handle everything from discovery through Google Play submission and post-launch support. One team. Fixed scope. You own the code.
Android is a diverse ecosystem — hundreds of device shapes, screen sizes, and hardware configurations. Cross-platform apps often struggle to handle that diversity gracefully. Native Kotlin built with Jetpack libraries gives you the tools to adapt correctly across every form factor without compromise.
Modern Kotlin with Jetpack Compose UI and the Android architecture components — ViewModel, Navigation, Room, WorkManager. Clean, testable code that survives OS updates.
We design to Google's Material Design 3 so your app feels native on every Android device — consistent with the conventions Android users have built muscle memory around.
Google Maps, Firebase, Google Pay, FCM push notifications, Google Sign-In, Play Billing, Nearby API, and Google ML Kit — native Android gets full, first-party access to the entire Google ecosystem.
Every Android project covers design, development, QA on real devices, Play Store submission, and post-launch support — in one team, with one scope.
We define your Android MVP — the features it needs, the devices it must run on, and the Play Store category it targets. Fixed-scope quote and a committed timeline before development starts.
Wireframes and Figma screens following Material Design 3 guidelines. Designed for the full range of Android screen sizes — from compact phones to large tablets and foldables.
Android apps in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and Android architecture components. Bi-weekly internal Play Console builds so you see working features throughout — not just at the end.
Firebase, Node.js backends, Stripe and Google Pay, FCM push notifications, Google Maps, Google Sign-In, and Play Billing. We scope backend complexity during discovery so nothing surprises you mid-build.
Testing on a range of real Android phones and tablets across API levels — not just an emulator. We catch device-specific layout and performance issues before your users do.
ASO-optimized Play Store listing, feature graphic, screenshots, video trailer guidance, data safety disclosure, and full submission management. Review pushback handled at no extra cost.
Android covers roughly 44% of Canadian smartphones and over 72% globally — essential for any app targeting a broad consumer base, enterprise deployment, or markets outside North America.
Android's enterprise management features (Android Enterprise, Knox, Managed Device) make it the platform of choice for internal business tools, fleet management apps, and field service applications.
Google Play review is typically faster than Apple's — most apps approve in a few hours to a day. Phased rollouts let you release to a percentage of users before full launch, reducing risk.
Android allows background services, custom file access, inter-app communication, and sideloading that iOS restricts. If your app requires deep system access, Android is often the only viable platform.
Google Play's developer account is a one-time $25 USD fee versus Apple's $99/year. For budget-conscious startups, this is a meaningful difference when combined with no annual renewal requirement.
One Android codebase can target phones, tablets, Android TV, Wear OS smartwatches, and automotive screens. If your product roadmap includes multiple form factors, Android scales to all of them.
Six phases with Play Console internal track access from week four — see your app running on a real Android phone throughout the build.
We define your Android MVP, the device range it must support, and the Play Store category it targets. Fixed scope, fixed price, committed timeline before development starts.
Material Design 3 wireframes and high-fidelity Figma screens designed for phones, tablets, and the range of Android screen densities. Every screen approved before development starts.
Kotlin project setup, MVVM architecture, backend and API configuration, Firebase integration, Play Console setup, and signing configuration. Sprints planned out with clear deliverables.
Bi-weekly internal Play Console builds so you can install and test your actual app on your own Android device. QA on a range of real phones and tablets across multiple Android versions throughout.
Closed testing track via Play Console, structured feedback collection, final bug fixes and polish. ASO-optimized listing, screenshots, data safety form, and metadata prepared for full production release.
Phased rollout via Play Console, crash monitoring via Firebase Crashlytics, and review management. Post-launch retainer available for OS updates, bug fixes, and feature iterations.
