What you get
What’s included in mobile app development
App design
Screens and flows designed for iOS and Android conventions.
Cross-platform build
One React Native codebase for both platforms, with native modules where needed.
Backend & APIs
Accounts, data, notifications and admin tools behind the app.
Push notifications
Timely, targeted notifications that bring people back.
Payments & subscriptions
In-app purchases and subscriptions on both stores.
Store launch
App Store and Google Play listings, submission and release.
Tools we use: React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Firebase, Node.js.
Choosing
Should you choose cross-platform, native or a web app?
We usually build with React Native. It shares a codebase across iOS and Android while using each platform’s interface components, and native modules can handle features that need them. This suits an app that needs to reach both stores without maintaining separate builds for every screen. If your product needs deep device features, we go native. That choice gives those features more direct attention, with separate platform work to plan.
Flutter is another option for a highly branded interface: it draws its own screens, so they can look identical across platforms, but your team needs to be comfortable working in Dart. A progressive web app can suit an internal staff tool and avoids store review. It will not appear in the stores unless packaged, and on an iPhone it can request notification permission only after someone adds it to the Home Screen. We help you weigh those choices against the people using the product and the features it needs.
Local
What Quebec City organisations need from an app
Commerce and transport are part of the city’s working economy. A shop or restaurant with repeat customers may need reordering, saved payment details and a quick checkout; a transport or delivery team needs job information that reaches the office when a connection returns. For staff in the field, that can mean forms, photos, signatures and location attached to each job.
Saint-Roch’s IT and video game businesses and the accounting and law firms in Sainte-Foy have different users to serve. A consumer product team needs store coverage and a way to see who returns after installation. A firm whose customers already use a web platform may want an app that gives those customers access to their existing accounts and data.
Rules
What an app project in Canada has to handle
Quebec has its own private-sector privacy law. When your app collects customer information, we map what it collects and set up links to your matching privacy policy inside the app and in its store listing. Your policy needs to describe the data the app actually collects.
Checkout depends on what you sell. We set up store billing for digital content and subscriptions used in the app, and a separate card gateway for physical goods or services used outside it. Stripe lists Canada among the countries where businesses can sign up to accept payments.
How it runs
How an app development project runs with us
India is ahead of Canadian time zones, and the gap with Eastern Time changes with daylight saving. We plan feedback and decisions around that difference so work can move forward between conversations.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals. You show us the task the app needs to support, and we agree the scope together before moving into design.
- 02
Design
We prepare iOS and Android screens before writing code. You review the flows and give feedback while the screens are still being refined.
- 03
Build and measure
We include analytics and crash reporting in the first release. You can then see which screens people use, where they leave a task and which devices experience crashes.
- 04
Submit
We handle the store listings, submission and review under your own developer accounts. You retain control of those accounts while we manage the release work.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring these details into the discussion and launch planning.
- First releaseList what users must do, in the order they will do it.
- Developer accountsStart company registration early; organisation accounts need a D-U-N-S number.
- Closed testingNew personal Google Play developer accounts need a closed test before production release.
- Login accessHave a working demo account and live backend ready for Apple’s review if your app has a login.
- FeedbackIdentify a few customers or staff who can try a clickable prototype before it is built.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The work grows with the flows, connections and screens you need to support.
User roles
Customers, drivers and staff each need their own screens and permissions, even when they share data.
Integrations
A payment gateway, booking system or Bluetooth scanner adds setup, testing and handling for failures.
Screen variations
Custom animation, several languages and tablet layouts add design and testing across screens.
User content
Posts or other user-generated material need filtering, reporting, blocking and published contact details for moderation.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building an app
Asking for notification permission immediately
Wait until the benefit is clear, such as after an order. On newer Android versions, notifications remain off until the user allows them.
Putting login before every useful action
Let people explore without signing in when the app does not have significant account-based features.
Adding tracking without revisiting store disclosures
Update Google Play’s Data safety form to cover data collected by third-party analytics or advertising tools.
Leaving access with a supplier
Keep developer accounts, signing access and code repositories in your business’s name so the app is easier to move later.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Quebec City
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to have an app developed?
There is no fixed price. A major driver is whether you already have a backend with a documented API or need a new backend and admin panel. Offline work also changes the scope: showing previously loaded information is much smaller than allowing offline edits and resolving conflicts when records sync.
How do I choose an app development company?
Compare the work included and the access you will have to the people doing it. With us, you talk directly to the people who design and build your product. Check who will prepare the App Store and Google Play listings, submit the app and handle its release.
What is included beyond the app screens?
An app project usually includes a backend and an admin panel as well as the phone app. The backend holds accounts and data; the admin panel gives your staff a place to edit content, look up customers, issue refunds or block abusive accounts without calling a developer.
Can the app use the same data as my website?
Yes. We can build a shared backend for your app, website and admin tools, keeping customer accounts and data in one place. That gives you a clear basis for deciding which information staff manage through the admin tools and which information customers see in the app or on the website.
Will I own the code and content?
Yes. You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. That gives you control over those assets if your needs change after launch. Agreeing ownership at the outset also gives you a clear point to check when reviewing the scope and handover for your project.
What support does the app need after launch?
Plan for ongoing bug fixes, updates for new iOS and Android versions, and feature work. Google Play also requires apps and updates to target a recent Android API level. After release, review how often people return, where they drop out of the main task and whether the crash-free rate changes.
