Avoid Android App Crashes: Kotlin Best Practices
You know that moment when you're rushing to book a cab, the payment is about to go through, and suddenly the app freezes? For a few seconds, you're stuck - did the payment go through or not? Do you retry? Do you close the app? That tiny moment of uncertainty is enough to frustrate most users. And more often than not, they don't come back.
That's exactly how silent damage begins in mobile apps. Not with big disasters—but with small, unexpected failures in moments that matter most. On Android, even one crash in a critical flow like login, checkout, or onboarding can quietly push users away, hurt your ratings, and impact revenue. While no app can ever be completely crash-proof, Kotlin gives you a strong safety net to reduce these risks long before users feel them.
