Scope and User Roles
The number of screens, user roles, and workflows. An Android app for one type of user costs less than a marketplace with buyers, sellers, and an admin panel.
Custom Android apps in Kotlin for startups and scale-ups: launch an app MVP on Google Play in about 3 months and grow it without technical debt.

Completed Projects
Certified Developers
More than half of ZentixSoft’s clients stay with us or return with new projects. We aim to build the same kind of partnership in Android development: within five days, we can assemble a team of mid-level and senior engineers who will get to know your product and help develop it beyond the first release. An Android mobile app needs to work across thousands of smartphone models, so we plan for that before development work begins. Together, we decide which devices to test on, set up CI/CD, and report on progress every week. You can see what already works, which issues have come up, and what the team will do next.
Real Budget Before Development
You see the scope, timeline, and budget before signing the contract, with no hidden stages.
Built to Pass Google Play Review
We account for store requirements from the first development sprint, so the release doesn’t get held up in review.
Native or Cross-Platform - Honest Advice
We compare both approaches against your features and timeline, then recommend the one that makes more sense for you.
We know where Android mobile application projects tend to stall: over budget, on users’ phones, or during Google Play review. Our app development services help you address these risks while planning the project, or find a path to release if a problem has already come up.
Agencies quote only “from $X,” so you can’t plan the budget or launch date.
The money runs out halfway through the MVP, even though investors have already been given a launch date.
After discovery, we give you the scope, app development timeline, and development budget range before you sign a contract. We also split the app MVP into releases based on priority.
The previous contractor missed the deadline, and no one on your team can maintain the code they delivered.
Months of work may be lost, and the mobile application launch is delayed again with no new date.
We audit the code, tell you plainly what’s worth keeping, and continue development to get the app ready for release, with weekly progress updates.
The mobile app runs well on your team’s flagship phones but crashes on the budget phones your users have.
Its Google Play rating drops to 2–3 stars, while paid ads bring in people who immediately uninstall it.
We agree on a device test matrix, include budget models, and track crashes with Crashlytics.
An update is rejected over target API or Data safety requirements, though the fix has been ready for a week.
A critical fix cannot reach users, and the support team is overwhelmed with complaints.
We plan target app API updates in line with Google Play requirements and check the Data safety declaration before release.
An older Android mobile app starts failing after updates, and there’s no documentation.
New features and fixes take longer because the team first has to understand the code.
We review the code and causes of the failures, fix the issues, and modernize the mobile app step by step.
The development roadmap keeps growing, but you’re short of Android developers, and hiring takes months.
Competitors ship features faster, while the Android version falls behind iOS.
We can bring in mid-level and senior Android engineers within five days to work in your existing processes and tools.
You might be starting from an idea or trying to improve a mobile Android app people already use. We’ll help you decide what to tackle first, with a budget and timeline to match.
01
Early on, we look at the decisions that will affect the build, budget, and release:
Compare native and cross-platform approaches for your Android mobile application.
Choose the minimum Android version and target devices.
Decide which features go into the first release.
Prepare the architecture, roadmap, and budget estimate.

A new idea or an existing app - where should we start?
We can launch a new mobile application or find out why your current Android app crashes or fails Google Play review.
Android runs on thousands of device models. During development, we identify the ones your audience uses and adapt the interface and features for them.
Booking, loyalty programs, marketplaces, fintech, and internal tools. We design for one-handed use, fast startup, and offline access to key features when needed.
We use Wear OS watch sensors, connect compatible external devices via Bluetooth LE, and set up data exchange with the phone.
Quick actions, notifications, and activity tracking on the watch. We connect wearable sensors via Bluetooth LE and sync data with the phone.
We build both native and cross-platform Android apps, so we recommend the approach that fits your application. First, we’ll find out whether you need Android and iOS at launch and which device features your mobile app needs to use.
We can give you an initial budget estimate for an Android app right away and a more precise one after reviewing the requirements. Even similar apps can differ in the amount of work involved. Here’s what has the biggest impact on cost.
The number of screens, user roles, and workflows. An Android app for one type of user costs less than a marketplace with buyers, sellers, and an admin panel.
The more device types and Android versions you need to support, the more development work goes into adapting the app interface and testing across the agreed device matrix.
Payments, CRM, ERP, push notifications, Bluetooth sensors, or the camera. Each integration adds development and testing time.
Handling personal or medical data may require additional safeguards and consideration of applicable regulations, including GDPR or HIPAA.
We know how an Android app for a doctor differs from one for a courier, and we account for your industry’s requirements from the first development sprint.
Payments and accounts with biometric login and risk checks for sensitive actions using the Play Integrity API.
Telemedicine, appointment booking, and patient portals with personal data protection and consideration of applicable GDPR and HIPAA requirements.
Connecting compatible wearable sensors and medical devices via Bluetooth LE to send readings to the Android app.
Any contractor can promise quality and timely delivery. We give you commitments you can check before signing a contract.

We publish the Android app through your Google Play account and set out code ownership and how access will be handed over in the contract.
We agree on a stability target and track it in Crashlytics, so you hear about crashes in our reports rather than from user reviews.
We choose safeguards for your app and, where needed, use Android Keystore for keys, biometric login, and the Play Integrity API.
Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native engineers work together, so we can add native modules without changing contractors.
We update the target API ahead of time and check compatibility with new Android versions.
Clients work with us for an average of 30 months. We help develop the app after launch, too.
A transparent process with no “black boxes”: you see progress every week, set priorities, and know what you’ll receive at each stage.
We review your idea, audience, and business goals, then agree on the features and device test matrix so you know the scope and budget before development starts.
We create a clickable prototype using Material Design 3 and test user flows before writing code.
We design the architecture, set up CI/CD, and show you working builds every week so you can adjust priorities in time.
Before release, we test the build on the agreed devices and Android versions to catch issues before publication.
We prepare the Data Safety declaration and Android App Bundle, run closed testing if needed, and submit the app for Google Play review.
We monitor crashes, update the target API, and test the app on new Android versions.

Ready to Build Your Android App?
Tell us what the app needs to do and who will use it. We’ll help you choose an approach, define the scope of the first release, and estimate the budget.
Android development services cover the full process of building an app for the Android ecosystem: discovery, UI/UX design based on Material Design, development, backend integrations, testing on real devices, publication on Google Play, and support after launch. You can hire one team for the entire project or for a specific stage, such as design or migration.
The cost depends on the number of features and user roles, the range of devices and Android versions to support, integrations with payments or hardware, and security requirements such as HIPAA. After a short call about your requirements, we send a detailed estimate broken down by release, so you can spend on the most important features first.
The first release usually takes about three months, from discovery to Google Play. Apps with many integrations, connected devices, or compliance requirements take longer. We agree on the scope and timeline before development starts and show you working builds every week, so you always know where the project stands.
If you need both Android and iOS, especially for the US market, cross-platform development with Flutter or React Native is usually faster and more cost-effective. Native Kotlin is better suited to apps that work with hardware, background tasks, or enterprise Android devices. We build both and recommend the approach that fits your app.
Yes. We handle the entire release: the store listing, Data Safety form, permission declarations, and Android App Bundle, which replaced APK as the required format for new apps. We also plan target API updates ahead of Google’s deadlines so future releases aren’t blocked.
We agree on a device test matrix based on your analytics: the Android versions and screen sizes your customers actually use. We test critical user flows on real devices and the rest on emulators. We also check performance and battery use on mid-range phones, along with offline use and behavior on a weak connection.
You do. We sign an NDA before any technical discussion, publish the app through your Google Play developer account, and do not keep your signing keys. The source code, design, and all intellectual property belong to you, so you can continue developing the app with your own team or another partner.
Yes, including apps built by other contractors. We start with an audit of the code, architecture, crash reports, and Google Play status. Then we fix critical issues, update the target SDK, and gradually migrate the code from Java to Kotlin without interrupting releases.
Yes. We offer three engagement models: a dedicated Android team for a long-term app, Android engineers to add capacity to your team, and fixed-price projects for clearly defined work. We can assemble a team in as little as five days.
