Mobile Apps
We build native-quality mobile applications that work on iOS and Android from a single codebase. Whether it's a consumer app, an enterprise tool, or a companion app to a web platform — we build mobile products that users keep coming back to.
About this service
Mobile apps live and die by user experience. A slow launch, a confusing navigation pattern, or a notification that fires at the wrong time — any of these will tank your retention, no matter how good the underlying product is. We've been building mobile apps since React Native was in beta, and we know what separates an app users actually use from one that gets uninstalled after three sessions.
We work primarily in React Native and Expo, which lets us build for iOS and Android from a single codebase without sacrificing the native feel. For projects that genuinely need fully native performance — camera, AR, Bluetooth, or heavy animation — we evaluate whether a different approach makes sense. We're not dogmatic about tools; we're dogmatic about shipping quality.
Our mobile work spans consumer apps for children and parents (Steamoji), enterprise companion apps, and healthcare and education sector mobile products. We handle the full delivery — design to App Store submission, including CI/CD, OTA updates, and push notification infrastructure.

What we deliver
Cross-platform apps
React Native and Expo apps that feel native on both iOS and Android, from a single codebase.
Consumer mobile products
End-user apps with smooth UX, push notifications, offline support, and app store optimization.
Enterprise mobile tools
Internal tools, field apps, and B2B mobile products with MDM support and secure authentication.
API-connected apps
Apps that sync with your backend, work offline-first, and handle real-time data via WebSockets.
App store deployment
End-to-end delivery including App Store and Google Play submission, CI/CD, and OTA updates via EAS.
Children's and educational apps
Age-appropriate UX, parental controls, classroom deployment, and COPPA/PIPEDA-compliant data handling.
How we work
01
UX mapping
We map every user flow before opening Figma. Mobile UX decisions are expensive to reverse, so we get alignment on navigation structure, state management patterns, and key interactions first.
02
Design & prototyping
High-fidelity designs with platform-appropriate components (iOS HIG and Material Design conventions) and interactive prototypes for stakeholder review.
03
Iterative development
We ship TestFlight/internal track builds every two weeks. Real devices, real feedback, real iteration — not just simulator screenshots.
04
Launch & OTA
App Store and Google Play submission, push notification setup, crash reporting, and OTA update infrastructure so you can ship fixes without waiting for store review.
Tech stack
We're one of the few mobile app development agencies in British Columbia with senior React Native engineers on staff. Whether you're a startup in Vancouver building your first app, a company in Burnaby or Surrey looking to extend a web platform to mobile, or a franchise operator in Langley who needs a custom tool — we build apps that work on both iOS and Android without the cost of maintaining two separate codebases.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build for both iOS and Android?+
Yes. We use React Native and Expo so your app runs on both platforms from a single codebase — which dramatically reduces development cost and keeps iOS and Android feature-parity easy to maintain.
How long does a mobile app take to build?+
A focused MVP with core functionality typically takes 10–16 weeks. We work in two-week sprints with TestFlight and internal Play Store builds at each milestone so you can test on real devices throughout development.
Can you build apps for children with proper compliance?+
Yes — we have direct experience building children's apps (Steamoji) with age-appropriate UX, parental consent flows, classroom deployment modes, and COPPA and PIPEDA-compliant data handling.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?+
Yes. We handle the full submission process — App Store and Google Play accounts, review guidelines compliance, metadata, screenshots, and the inevitable back-and-forth with reviewers. We also set up OTA updates so you can push fixes between store releases.
Can you build a mobile app that connects to our existing web platform?+
Absolutely. Most of our mobile projects are companion apps or mobile extensions of existing web products. We'll work with your existing API or design a shared API layer that serves both.
