Google blocked more than 1.75 million apps from Google Play in 2025. The ones that get through still have to run on a huge range of phones, from flagship Samsungs to budget handsets.
One crew handles it all: our designers, Android app developers and SEO specialists. Your app passes Google's checks, runs smoothly on the phones your customers own and gets found on Google Play, from $3,000.
Android runs about seven in ten phones worldwide but closer to four in ten in Australia. So the right choice depends on who your users are.
Google Play's rules change every year, and missing one can hide your app from new users. Here's what we take care of.
From 31 August 2026, new apps and updates must target Android 16. We build to it from day one.
New personal accounts must run a 14-day closed test with at least 12 testers. Publishing under a verified organisation account avoids that delay.
Google shows your data practices on your store listing, so we fill it in properly.
Location, SMS and file access need a strong reason, or Google rejects the update.
We test on a spread of Android phones and screen sizes, not just one emulator.
Updates go to a small share of users first, so a bug never hits everyone at once.
Two in-house teams make sure your app looks right and gets found.
Our dedicated designers follow Google's Material Design, so your app feels natural on Android.
Unlike Apple, Google reads your full description for keywords. Our SEO team writes your title, short description and full description around real searches.
Google Play shows a banner graphic on your listing, and we design it to stand out.
Google's in-app review prompt lets happy users rate your app without leaving it.
Android apps start from
$3,000
That covers a focused Android app built around the features your users need most. The devices you support, the features and the back end decide the final price.
We list the features, devices and Android versions your app has to support.
Our design team creates every screen in Material Design. You approve it before we build.
We develop in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and connect your back end.
You and your team try early versions through Google Play's testing tracks.
Our SEO team optimises your Google Play listing. We roll the app out in stages and watch for crashes.
We keep the app on Google's latest target API level and fix issues as they appear.
Tell us who your users are and what the app must do. We'll say straight whether native Android makes sense and give you a clear price.
Most updates are processed quickly. Google says some reviews can take up to seven days or longer in exceptional cases, mainly for certain developer accounts.
Accurate forms and a complete listing are the best way to avoid delays.
See how we prepare for Google PlayFor a business, an organisation account. It needs a D-U-N-S Number and verification, but it skips the 14-day, 12-tester closed test that new personal accounts must run.
It also keeps the app and its reviews in your company's name.
Book a free callGoogle's fees for Australian users changed in 2026. Subscriptions now carry a 10% service fee plus a 5% billing fee.
Other in-app sales carry higher fees that depend on whether the user is a new or existing install. We'll check the current rates against your pricing model.
Book a free callGoogle requires new apps and updates to target Android 16 by 31 August 2026. The oldest version your app runs on is a separate choice.
We'll set a minimum that covers the phones your customers actually use, without paying to support very old devices.
Book a free callYes. We test across brands, screen sizes and price ranges, because Android phones vary far more than iPhones.
Budget phones get extra attention, since slow devices show performance problems first.
See how we buildYes. Tablet and foldable layouts can share most of the phone app's code.
Wear OS apps work best for quick glances, alerts and tracking on the go.
Book a free callYes. Your back end, designs and content usually carry straight over. We rebuild the app itself in Kotlin, so it feels native on Android.
If you'd like both apps on one codebase from here on, ask about cross-platform.
