(01) Our take

Kotlin with Jetpack Compose is the best native Android has ever been. The language is pleasant, the tooling is finally caught up, and the patterns for handling complex state (coroutines, flows, Compose) are mature enough to trust in production.

As with iOS, we write native Android when the platform specifics matter — background work, system integration, performance under real-world Android device fragmentation. For cross-platform code sharing with iOS, we'd often pick React Native or Flutter instead.

(02) What we build with it

Typical work

  • Native Android applications
  • Jetpack Compose migrations from legacy Android View systems
  • Google Play Store applications with strict performance requirements
  • Android-specific integrations (Wear OS, Android Auto)

(03) How we engage

Engagement shape

Android engagements typically run 12–20 weeks for the first ship, often paired with an iOS build that ships in parallel with shared design and product direction.
