Mobile App Development in Vancouver
Mobile apps built for real users, not just demos
Whether you're launching a new product, replacing a legacy app or adding mobile to an existing platform, we build apps that hold up in the real world: fast to load, secure with customer data, easy to update, and ready for the App Store and Google Play. Our team is headquartered at 470 Granville Street in Vancouver and works with founders, product teams and enterprises across British Columbia, Canada and the US.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee Blueprint that defines scope, architecture, timeline and a fixed price before development begins, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it will cost. We've shipped 100+ products over more than a decade, including mobile health apps used by thousands of patients.
What We Offer
Mobile app development services built around your goals
iOS App Development
Native iPhone and iPad apps built with Swift and SwiftUI, integrating Apple Pay, Apple Watch, HealthKit and ARKit. iOS accounts for about two-thirds of mobile traffic in Canada, so it's often where Canadian apps launch first.
Android App Development
Native Android apps built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, tested across real devices and screen sizes, with Google services, wearables and enterprise device management.
Cross-Platform Development
One codebase for iOS and Android with Flutter or React Native, cutting delivery time and cost without sacrificing native feel. The right choice for most MVPs and business apps.
Mobile UI/UX Design
User research, user flows, clickable prototypes and polished interfaces that follow Apple and Google design guidelines, tested with real users before development starts.
Backend, APIs & Integrations
Secure cloud backends, admin dashboards and integrations with payments, CRMs, ERPs and third-party APIs, so your app works with the systems your business already runs on.
Maintenance & App Rescue
OS updates, security patches, performance tuning and new features after launch, plus stabilization of existing apps built by other teams or with AI coding tools.
Industries

Healthcare & Wellness

How We Work
Our mobile app development process
Discovery & Blueprint
We align on goals, users and success metrics, then deliver a fixed-fee Blueprint: risk audit, feature scope, architecture, and a fixed price and timeline.
Product Design & Architecture
Designers create user flows and a clickable prototype you can test with real users; architects choose native iOS, native Android or cross-platform.
Development & QA
We build in two-week sprints with working checkpoints, automated tests and testing on real devices, so every release is stable.
Launch & Growth Support
We prepare store listings, handle App Store and Google Play submission, then monitor performance and keep improving after launch.
Typical path to a production-ready first version: about 120 days, depending on scope.
