An app idea, but no team
You know what the app should do, but not where to start or what it will really cost.
Android app development
Your Android app, from idea to Google Play
Scoping, design, development and publishing: I turn your idea into a working app, live on Google Play, and keep improving it after launch. One point of contact from the first sketch to release, in English, French or Arabic.
- Guided Google Play publishing
- Source code and accounts in your name

Who it's for
Sound familiar?
You need to test the market fast
Before investing heavily, you want a solid MVP in the hands of real users.
Your team is losing time
Spreadsheets, paper forms, scattered messages: a simple business app would bring order to the field.
Stuck at publishing
Your app is ready, but Google Play won't grant production access until the closed test is complete.
What I do
Your app's entire lifecycle, covered
I'm a web and mobile developer and also a marketer: I build apps to be used, not just to work.
Project scoping
Goals, users, must-have and nice-to-have features: a clear scope before a single line of code.
Screen design
User flows and easy-to-grasp mockups, approved by you before development starts.
Android development
A fast, stable app, connected when needed to your website, your WooCommerce store or an API.
MVPs to validate ideas
The core of your concept, shipped quickly, so you get real feedback before going further.
Google Play publishing
Store listing, screenshots, privacy policy, closed test with testers and the production access request.
Maintenance and updates
Bug fixes, compatibility with new Android versions and Google Play policies, new features.
Process
Five steps, no surprises
Scoping and quote
We define the need, priorities and scope together. You get a free, detailed quote.
Mockups
The main screens are designed and approved with you: you see the app before it exists.
Iterative development
Regular test builds to install on your phone, so we can adjust course at the right time.
Closed test and launch
Google Play listing, closed test with real testers, then release to production.
Follow-up
Post-launch fixes, updates and improvements based on your users' feedback.

Why me
An app built to be used
A successful app isn't the one with the most features. It's the one your users still open next month.
- One person for the app, the website, SEO and marketing.
- A realistic scope: start with the essentials, add the rest later.
- You own the source code, the developer account and the data.
- I know Google Play's requirements and run a testers club for the closed test.
- I work remotely with clients worldwide, in English, French and Arabic.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an Android app cost?
It depends on the features: a simple MVP costs far less than an app with user accounts, payments and an admin panel. The ranges above give you a ballpark; a precise quote is free.
How long does development take?
An MVP typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, a more complete app typically 2 to 4 months. Add the time needed for the closed test and Google Play review.
What is Google Play's closed testing requirement?
For new personal developer accounts (created after November 2023), Google requires a closed test with at least 12 testers opted in for 14 consecutive days before granting production access. Organization accounts are not subject to this rule.
I don't have 12 testers. What can I do?
I run a testers club where developers test each other's apps. I can also help you rally friends, family and your first customers.
Who owns the app?
You do. The app is published on your own Google Play developer account, and the source code is handed over at the end of the project.
Do you also build iPhone apps?
My offer focuses on Android and Google Play. If your project also needs an iPhone version, we'll discuss the best approach during scoping.
