With over two billion active devices and deep penetration in emerging and developed markets alike, Android remains a high-ROI platform for business apps. From rapid MVPs to enterprise-grade solutions, the ecosystem (Jetpack, Firebase, Play Billing, ML Kit) lets you ship faster, iterate safely, and scale confidently.

What We Build at Spero Hub

• Customer-facing apps: eCommerce, on-demand services, booking, fintech, edtech, media.
• Operational apps: field-force tracking, inventory, approvals, dashboards.
• Product MVPs: quick-launch prototypes that validate real user demand in weeks, not months.
• Rebuilds & refactors: migrate legacy apps to modern Android (Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, modular architectures).

Our Delivery Process (Built for Speed + Quality)

1. Discovery & Strategy – Define goals, audience, KPIs, and success metrics.
2. UX/UI Design – Wireframes → interactive prototypes → polished design system.
3. Architecture – MVVM/Clean Architecture, modularization, offline-first data.
4. Development – Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, CI/CD, feature flags for safe rollouts.
5. QA & Security – Automated tests, manual edge-case testing, hardening & encryption.
6. Play Store Launch – Policy-compliant release, store listing, screenshots, ASO.
7. Growth – Analytics, A/B tests, performance tuning, and roadmap iteration.

Tech Stack We Love

• Frontend: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines/Flow, Hilt, Room, Retrofit.
• Cross-platform (when it fits): Kotlin Multiplatform or Flutter.
• Backend: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Functions), Supabase, Node.js/NestJS, or Spring Boot.
• Observability: Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, App Check.
• Payments & Monetization: Google Play Billing (IAP/Subs), Stripe (where applicable), Ads (policy-compliant).

Performance, Accessibility & Security

• Performance: Startup time budgeting, baseline profiles, lazy lists, image/CDN optimization, strict mode audits.
• Accessibility: Dynamic font sizes, contrast, talkback support, motion sensitivity options.
• Security: TLS pinning, encrypted storage, scoped storage, least-privilege permissions, secure backend APIs.

Monetization That Users Don’t Hate

• Value-first subscriptions and consumables with clear paywalls & trials.
• Thoughtful ads only where they serve utility; frequency capping and respectful placements.
• Freemium with strong core features; paid tiers add convenience, collaboration, or insights.

Play Store Compliance (No Surprises)

• Privacy policy hosted and linked in the Data safety section.
• Accurate app metadata (no impersonation/keyword stuffing).
• Clear disclosures for permissions, background use, location, ads, and subscriptions.
• Regular reviews against the latest Google Play policies.

Analytics That Drive Decisions

• Conversion funnels (install → first action → retention).
• Cohorts & LTV by channel and geography.
• Feature adoption heatmaps to guide the roadmap.
• Experimentation (A/B) on onboarding, pricing, and messaging.

Mini Case Snapshot

Problem: A local services marketplace struggled with low repeat bookings.
Solution: We redesigned onboarding, added 1-tap rebooking and push reminders, and optimized the search results with server-driven sorting.
Result: +34% 30-day retention, +21% completed bookings, and fewer support tickets due to clearer flows.

When to Choose Cross-Platform vs. Native

• Choose native (Kotlin + Compose) for complex animations, heavy device features, or when you need the absolute best performance and platform parity.
• Choose cross-platform (KMP/Flutter) for shared business logic or faster multi-OS delivery—when your feature set is mostly UI + network + storage.

Timeline & Cost Anchors (Guidance)

• Prototype/MVP: 3–6 weeks for a focused scope.
• V1 Product: 8–14 weeks depending on features, backend complexity, and integrations.
• Enterprise/Scale: Phased delivery with parallel tracks (feature teams + platform team).

We tailor scope to your goals—build the smallest thing that proves the biggest value, then iterate.

FAQs

Q1: Can you upgrade our legacy app without downtime?
Yes. We use modularization, feature flags, and phased rollouts with staged publishing to keep users productive.

Q2: How do you ensure quality on low-end devices?
We test on a device matrix, enforce strict performance budgets, and ship lightweight assets with adaptive loading.

Q3: Do you provide post-launch support?
Absolutely—SLA-based support, roadmap planning, and monthly optimization sprints.
