FAQ

Hiring Android developers: common questions

Ask a questionWhatsApp

Do your Android developers use Java or Kotlin?

Our Android developers work in Java. If your existing app is written in Kotlin, mention it on the first call and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Can you take over an app another developer built?

Yes. We start with a review of the code and your Play Console, fix critical issues first and then continue with new features.

Can you publish updates to Google Play for us?

Yes. We prepare signed releases and roll them out from your own Google Play Console account, so the app always stays yours.

How quickly can a developer start?

Usually within 2–5 working days of a short call about your project.

Is there a trial period?

Yes. Monthly engagements start with a one-week trial. If it isn’t working out, you can stop after the first week and pay only for the hours worked.

What hours will the developer work?

Our team is based in India (IST) and keeps at least four hours of overlap with your working day — including US, UK, European, Middle East and Australian time zones.

Who owns the code?

You do. Code is committed to your own repository, and we sign an NDA and IP assignment before any work begins.

How does billing work?

Indian clients are invoiced in INR and international clients in USD. Monthly plans are billed at the start of each month; hourly work is billed on the hours logged.
