Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build iOS apps too, or only Android?
We build both iOS and Android apps for Indianapolis businesses. Many clients start with Android first because of its market share. They add iOS later once the first app is live.
How long does it take to build an Android app?
Most Android projects take a few months from planning to launch. The exact timeline depends on how complex the app is. We give every Indianapolis client a project timeline before work begins.
Will my Android app work on all types of phones?
We test apps across a range of Android devices and screen sizes before launch. Android runs on phones from many different manufacturers. Testing across devices matters more on Android than it does on a single-manufacturer platform.
