When I started developing kivy apps , didn’t have a lot of experience in app development
and don’t get me wrong , I still struggle with a lot of key aspects .
But I’ve learnt a few things that make developing Kivy apps much easier.
Design Pattern
Overall, design patterns can be a valuable tool for improving the quality, readability, scalability, and testability of your code. If you are serious about software development, I recommend learning more about design patterns.
The MVC pattern is a powerful tool that can be used to develop complex and maintainable applications. If you are new to software development, I recommend learning more about this pattern. It is a valuable tool that can help you to become a better developer.For more info about this pattern click here .
Kivymd
KivyMD is a collection of Material Design widgets for Kivy. It provides a more elegant and modern look and feel for your Kivy apps. It also includes a number of features that make it easier to develop Kivy apps, such as:
- Material Design: KivyMD widgets are designed to follow the Material Design guidelines, which means that they will look and feel familiar to users who are familiar with Material Design.
- Themes: KivyMD includes a number of themes that you can use to change the look and feel of your app. This makes it easy to customize your app to match your brand or style.
- Customization: KivyMD widgets are highly customizable, so you can easily change the look and feel of your app to match your brand or style.
Using Kivymd in your project makes development of interfaces very very fast so that you can focus on the more demanding features of your app like the backend .

Optimization Methods
Some people say that Kivy apps are slow. This is because Python is not as fast as other languages on Android devices. However, by optimizing your code, you can create Kivy apps that run smoothly even on old devices.
There are methods you can use to optimize your code like
- Loading widgets at the start of the app
- Use Animations
- Simplifing widgets as much as possible
- Using threading wherever possible
- Using lazy load Screens For more info about how to optimize your Kivy Apps , click here .
