If it’s Android only you’re ignoring the majority of the smartphone market in the US
No idea if OP is in the same situation as I am, but when I tried to develop apps for both android and ios, I quickly discarded ios support due to needing to buy some mac and a license to ever think of deploying the application. I don't own a single apple machine so that would be a massive upfront cost for what I wanted to be a free application
Exactly this. Licensing costs for the app store alone are a hundred bucks / year. That's silly for a free app.
