A Android app is a software application that runs on the Android platform, an operating system for mobile devices. Android apps are developed using Java programming languages and core libraries and then they are compiled to run on an Dalvik virtual computer that is optimized for mobile devices. Android apps are distributed and released through the official Google Play Store. This store offers both free and premium apps.

The Android platform offers developers comprehensive tools, documentation and resources to build and test apps. It also supports multitasking, which allows users to work on multiple tasks simultaneously and switch seamlessly between them. Additionally, Android apps offer extensive support for graphics options which include 3D and 2D graphics. It’s therefore easy to create and launch visually appealing apps on the platform.

In contrast to iOS which is a closed ecosystem that restricts the ways apps can be used and built, Android offers developers more flexibility in how they design and develop their apps. This allows developers to create various apps, ranging in both functionality and style. The fact that Android apps can be installed across a wider range of device types and OS versions enables developers to get more people to download their apps.

Android also has a lower cost of developing apps than iOS. As an example, registering as an Apple developer costs $99 a year, while starting with Android only costs $25. This enables businesses to quickly launch their app and start generating revenue.
