Android™ App Development

Android

Android has rapidly become the fastest growing mobile operating system worldwide. There are more than 300 hardware and software Android partners giving Android users a wide range of mobile telephones and tablets devices to buy.

The Android Market gives much greater flexibility than other competing App Stores, with the Android Market we can publish updates and new applications without the lengthy delays and verification processes which other App Stores employ, because of this your application can be available for your customers to download and use on the same day you launch the app rather than waiting up to a month on other App Stores.

Android has one of the largest market shares out of all the current mobile platforms and this is due to the large range of different smartphones and tablets available from many different suppliers in the Open Handset Alliance including manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung, HTC, Google, Intel, LG, Motorola and many more.

This market fragmentation and huge range of different screen sizes and devices can make app development more time consuming than iOS or Windows Phone, but it also offers a much larger audience for your application and many more customers.

Add Image have been developing mobile apps for Android since its initial release in 2008 and have worked on a range of projects from simple company branded utilities to marketing and location based applications.

We work with companies of all sizes from sole traders to multinational corporations and government departments so if you would like to expand your company into the mobile market or simply have an idea for a great new app or project, why not get in touch and see if we can work together to bring your ideas to life.
