Create apps the whole world can love with native Android development
The Google Play store averages 2 billion visits from 190 countries every month. It presents a huge opportunity to expose your app to a large audience and with fewer barriers to entry than the App Store. With a small dedicated team, we’ll work with you to design and develop a successful Android app that delivers value to your target users with a native experience on their device of choice.
Let’s talk about your app

Our process
What you get with the thoughtbot approach to Android
Beautifully designed native feel
Android apps that have fluid, modern, responsive transitions.
RxJava and Reactive Programming
On many projects, we prefer to bring functional and reactive programming to Kotlin, which makes our codebases more stable and scalable.
Kotlin
By using Kotlin, we empower developers to increase the expressiveness and quality of the code they write.
GraphQL
Our team will recommend technologies such as introducing a API framework like GraphQL for reuse of API data between views to reduce complexity and duplication of work.
Ecosystem perspective
We understand the whole app ecosystem from user research and market fit through to functional and design aesthetics. Throughout the app life cycle, we’ve got you covered.
User-centered design
With your users in mind, we'll help you scope the right features to build.
“thoughtbot’s expertise in coding languages for iOS and Android is second to none. Their proactive, thorough approach to projects has not only improved products, but also improved internal morale of engineers.
