A bad mobile experience sends customers to whoever does it well.

Most Calgary businesses we meet are leaving a mobile use case on the table — for customers, for field teams, or both. Here's what we see most.

1

Competitors have an app and you do not

Mobile-first customers default to whoever made it easy.

2

Your field team wastes hours on paperwork

Job sheets, photos, signatures — all should live on a phone.

3

You have a product idea but no clear path to launch

Quotes from agencies are scary. Timelines are vague. Risk feels high.

4

Your mobile web experience is clunky

Pinch, zoom, broken forms — customers leave before they convert.

5

You need offline capability your website cannot provide

Basements, worksites, flights — the connection is not always there.

6

Push notifications are a missed re-engagement channel

Email opens are dropping. Push is the most direct line you have left.

7

In-app purchases or subscriptions feel out of reach

Apple StoreKit, Google Play Billing — different rules, hidden landmines.

8

You've been quoted absurd numbers by other agencies

Six-figure custom-native quotes for an app that should be cross-platform.

What's included

Everything you'd expect,
plus what most agencies skip.

Every project includes the full list. Nothing is “an upgrade” or “out of scope” later.

iOS & Android cross-platform

Native-quality apps for both platforms from one codebase using React Native or Flutter — keeping costs lower without sacrificing performance.

Custom UI/UX design

Intuitive interfaces designed around your users — not adapted from a template, not borrowed from your website.

Backend & API integration

Connect to existing systems, databases, payment processors, or third-party APIs — or we build a custom backend.

Authentication & permissions

Secure login (email, social, SSO), role-based access, account management, and password recovery built in.

Push notifications

Targeted, timely notifications that drive action and retention — segmented by user, behaviour, or trigger.

Offline-first capabilities

Apps that keep working when the user is in a basement, on a worksite, or on a flight — with sync when the connection returns.

In-app purchases & subscriptions

Apple StoreKit and Google Play Billing configured properly — for digital products, subscriptions, or premium tiers.

Analytics & crash reporting

User analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring so you can see what users actually do and fix what breaks fast.

App Store submission

Full Apple App Store and Google Play submission — review compliance, store listings, screenshots, and approval handling.

Post-launch updates

Ongoing OS-version compatibility updates, bug fixes, and feature releases on a steady cadence after launch.

In the box

What you walk away with.

A working app on both stores is the obvious deliverable. Here's the full list of what's included.

How we'll work together

Our process. Step by step.

A short, structured timeline with real check-ins at each step. You always know what's next.

Week 1–2

Discovery & scoping

We map your requirements, user flows, technical needs, and integration points before a single line of code is written.

2
Week 2–4

Design & prototype

Interactive prototypes you can tap through — so you see and test the app before development begins.

3
Week 4–14

Build

Iterative development with regular builds for your review every 1–2 weeks — no big-bang surprises at the end.

4
Week 14–16

Test & launch

QA across devices, beta testing via TestFlight and Play Internal Testing, then App Store and Google Play submission.
