With a track record of crafting robust digital solutions for clients ranging from innovative startups to Fortune 500 companies across diverse sectors like healthcare and real estate, we ensure your app is positioned to be the best android app in the competitive app market.

Our expertise isn't just limited to Android; we offer comprehensive services including iOS app development, web development, and IoT integrations, positioning us as one of the top mobile app development companies.

Regardless of where you’re based, Edition is committed to mobile app development services that catalyse digital transformation and leverage the latest technologies from Apple, Microsoft, and others to bring your app idea to life.
Kotlin or Java: which programming language to choose for my app?
The choice between Kotlin and Java for your Android app development hinges on various factors including your project's specific business requirements and the app development process.Kotlin is the modern standard endorsed by Google, facilitating top Android app development with concise and expressive code, while Java has been the long-standing choice that offers wide-ranging compatibility and robust community support.

Edition's seasoned developers are equipped with the latest SDKs and API expertise, ensuring that regardless of the choice, your app will be developed with a top-rated methodology that incorporates the best practices for a seamless user experience.
How much does Android app development cost?
At Edition, as a trusted software development company, we offer transparent pricing that is reflective of the high-quality services we provide. The cost of your Android app development project may vary significantly based on the app's complexity, required features, use of the latest technologies such as wearable technology, cloud functionality, blockchain or machine learning, as well as your specific digital marketing strategies post-launch to maximise downloads.

Edition operates not just within the app market in the USA but extends its services to Europe, Australia, and Asia, ensuring that your investment is optimised for the best possible returns. Our hourly rate is competitive, and we offer comprehensive project management to ensure cost-efficiency throughout the development solutions process.
How long does Android app development take?
The timeline for your custom software development project at Edition is dependent on several factors, including app complexity, the UI design quality desired, and any specific operating system features that need to be integrated.

As one of the top Android app development companies, we employ agile project management methodologies to ensure efficient and timely delivery of your mobile application development project. From initial concept to final deployment, our digital solutions are crafted to not only meet but exceed your expectations. For a precise estimate, discussing your app idea with our team can give you a clearer roadmap and timeline.
Should I be developing for Android or iOS first?
Deciding whether to launch on Android or iOS first should be informed by an understanding of your target audience, desired geographic market reach, and the digital solutions best suited to your business requirements. Edition can help you navigate this critical decision by providing IT consulting services to align your vision with market trends and consumer behaviours.

Android app development services may offer a broader user base globally, particularly in emerging markets like India, while iOS apps can target users who typically exhibit higher engagement and monetisation levels, such as in markets like the USA or Australia.

In some cases, simultaneous development in both platforms might be the most effective strategy. Edition has the capacity to guide you through this digital transformation, ensuring that your app meets the demands of today's diverse smartphone users.
