Android App Development Company

Choosing an Android app development company can be daunting, whether it is an Android phone, tablet, watch or TV device. Clients choose our agency because we are an onshore, USA-based full-service development team headquartered in Denver. We pride ourselves on UI design, and a culture capable of taking on more complex Android app development projects, often after other agencies have failed to deliver. We have a track record of producing Android apps on time, and on budget, and most of our customers have worked with us for years. While the complexity of projects we work on is high, we not only build Android apps for Fortune 500 enterprises but startups as well.

Depth of Experience

An enterprise Android app development company focused on sophisticated and challenging solutions must have a depth that extends beyond what runs on the Android device itself. There are many technologies outside of Java, Kotlin, and Android Studio that are always needed, such as Rails, React, Node.js, and other server side API development languages and tools. Android app development is more than just an app, it is a product solution that often includes services running on AWS, Azure, and supporting API and server side components.

Design Focus

Design is a core competency at Tack Mobile. Design is far more than how an application looks, it provides the foundation for software development. A good user experience does not happen by accident. From discovery to wireframes to high fidelity design, we make only high quality, well designed software.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is more than a convenience to have a full service agency – completing complex projects requires more than Android app development expertise. We’ve developed some strong opinions on the right way to build software over the years, and have compiled a list of common questions below.

How much does an Android app cost?

Android applications vary dramatically in complexity. A typical application we build ranges from $100,000 for a small and simple (but polished) application to over $1,000,000 for a more complex platform including web services and other integrations, such as IoT or home automation and augmented reality.

Is UI Design that important?

User interface design, and user experience design, are critical and fundamental to building quality software. In the same way you would not have a carpenter design and build your house and not involve an architect, software developers work with designers to ensure what we’re building is a cohesive and intuitive experience.

Are native Android applications better?

A native application is one built using the platform’s intended language and development tools. On Android, this is Kotlin or Java. Generally, this is the best option as it removes any additional layers and reduces additional complexities which can add to development time. There are times where a cross platform approach can work well, however.

Should we build a hybrid cross platform app?

Cross platform technologies such as Flutter, Kotlin, Xamarin, React Native, and Ionic can make sense in some cases. For straightforward or budget-constrained development projects, there can be efficiencies gained and time saved by writing cross-platform code. See our blog entry here: Early Kotlin Multiplatform Thoughts

Do you provide Android application maintenance?

We’re often asked about long term Android app maintenance. This essentially boils down to ensuring availability for ongoing updates, and preventing “bit-rot,” where new platform releases will break features or UI. We have strategies to ensure your applications remain reliable for the long term, and customize these for each client need.

Can you help with Android app strategy?

How to build a Android app, what to build, and when are complex questions. We can guide clients through the Android app development process from inception to app store deployment to maintenance.

Can we PM or QA the project ourselves?

Yes. In fact, we are most successful when working alongside and collaborating with your team, rather than in isolation, as you know your customers better than anyone. We often fill in where needed and have the right set of tools and processes to integrate smoothly with your staff.

What to expect / Process

From as early as brainstorming the idea to post-release support, our process ticks every box for your Android app — whether its Pixel, Samsung, or any other Android device. Over ten years in Android app development has allowed us to craft an efficient workflow that ensures the highest efficiency for our Android app development services.

Approach Timeline Background

Discovery

This phase will help us define “what,” “where,” and “when” we build Android apps. Our goal is to understand users’ needs, and establish objectives up front.

Definition

Based on the data collected, Tack will generate personas, user journeys, and a product map. This will help us determine the scope of the project.

Design

This phase will answer “how” we build your Android apps. The best design is usually the simplest design, which requires effort.

Build

Continuous automated Android app build integration ensures a working copy of software is regularly available. Android app demos are used to show, rather than tell, progress.

Deploy

Deploying the entire solution, and updates, by carefully synchronizing server, client, updates, and marketing efforts for smooth rollouts. An Android app development company should stay with you throughout the process.

Top Android Apps Developed by Us

PowerView

Hunter Douglas

Hunter Douglas PowerView is an Android application designed to streamline automation of your motorized blinds. This app is equipped with useful tools that allow control of your home blinds at the touch of a finger or a request through Google, Alexa, or HomeKit. Or if you desire, set the day and time for your blinds to run and never touch them again.

Tack designed and developed the PowerView application with the aim of creating a user friendly app that everyone would be able to seamlessly control their smart home. Equipped with a secured login and easy to navigate user interface, this Android application has easy access to what users need daily while keeping those that shouldn’t have access out. With thousands of unique users living in thousands of unique homes, we needed to come up with a solution that every user would feel like the Android app was designed specifically for their home.

Aspen Snowmass

Aspen Skiing Company

The Aspen Snowmass Android App was designed to give you access to everything you need to enjoy your on-mountain experience. Add additional days to your lift ticket, purchase lessons and rentals, get real-time updates on parking and base lift wait times, sign waivers, access in-App rewards and Passholder Benefits all from your Android Phone so you can spend less time in line and more time on the snow. While on the snow, enable the Stats and Tracking functions to collect year-over-year stats for vertical feet and Bowl laps.

Tack designed and developed the Aspen Snowmass Android App with the aim of providing everything a skier would need to know about the mountain before hitting the slopes as well as during and after their stay in town. With thousands of skiers hitting the slopes of Aspen every year, this Android app needed to be designed in such a way to provide a top notch experience that every visitor expects when visiting Aspen.
