Android App Development in Kenya
I design and build clean, reliable Android apps for Kenyan businesses — M-Pesa payments, push notifications, secure backend, and a smooth Play Store launch.
What you get
Every engagement includes these as standard — no surprise add-ons later.
Native & cross-platform
Native Kotlin or cross-platform Flutter — chosen based on your needs and budget.
M-Pesa & payments
M-Pesa Daraja, card processors, and in-app wallets integrated cleanly into the user flow.
Secure backend & API
Authentication, encrypted data, and a stable API so the app scales as you grow.
Push notifications
Firebase push for transactional and marketing messages.
Play Store launch
Listing copy, screenshots, policy compliance, and submission handled end-to-end.
Ongoing support
Monthly maintenance, updates for new Android versions, and feature releases.
How it works
A simple, predictable process you can plan around.
Discovery
We define users, core features, integrations, and success metrics.
Design
Wireframes and visual designs of the full app for your approval.
Build
Development in 2-week sprints with a testable build at the end of each.
Launch
Beta testing, Play Store submission, and post-launch monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build an Android app in Kenya?
An MVP app starts from around KES 250,000. A full business app with backend, M-Pesa, and admin dashboard typically runs KES 500,000+ depending on scope.
How long does Android app development take?
An MVP takes 6–10 weeks. A full business app takes 3–6 months from discovery to Play Store launch.
Do you build iOS apps as well?
I focus on Android first. For iOS, I use cross-platform Flutter, which lets us ship to both platforms from one codebase.
Can the app accept M-Pesa payments?
Yes. M-Pesa Daraja (STK push, B2C, C2B) is a core capability and works inside the app or via web checkout.
Do you handle Play Store submission?
Yes. I prepare the listing, screenshots, privacy policy, and submit on your behalf.
Will the app keep working after launch?
Yes. I offer monthly maintenance plans to keep the app working on new Android versions and to ship feature updates.
