Mobile App Development in Vancouver, BC

iOS and Android apps for Vancouver businesses, built with React Native so one codebase ships to both stores, with the backend and admin tools to run it.

Quick Answer: Mobile App Development for a Vancouver Business

A mobile app is worth building when customers or staff need something a website does poorly: offline use, notifications, the camera, location or a tool they open every day.

You are in the right place if:

  • Your Vancouver business is in tech and software and the website does not show it
  • Field staff need a tool that works offline
  • You need push notifications or location features
  • Your web app should also be in the app stores
  • You have a validated idea and need a first version
  • An existing app needs rebuilding or rescuing
Every project is scoped first and quoted as a fixed price per phase after a free consultation. Book a free consultation and we will tell you honestly what your Vancouver business needs.

Mobile App Development for Vancouver, BC

Vancouver is Canada's Pacific gateway, with technology and software companies, one of the largest film and television production centres in North America, the Port of Vancouver, real estate and tourism. Vancouver businesses we hear from most are in tech and software, film and TV production, real estate, the port and trade and tourism. Each of those sectors needs something different from a website, and a mobile app development project for a Vancouver company starts with how your customers find and choose you, not with a template.

British Columbia runs on Vancouver's tech, film and real estate sectors, Pacific trade through the port, and resource industries in the interior and north. Victoria adds government and a tech cluster, and Kelowna has grown into a tourism and technology hub of its own. BC businesses are three hours behind our office, which still leaves most of the afternoon for calls.

Vancouver is on Pacific time, three hours behind our office in Mississauga, Ontario, so our working days overlap for most of the afternoon.

We are based in Mississauga, Ontario and work with British Columbia clients remotely over video calls, email and a shared project board. Everything is quoted in Canadian dollars as a fixed, itemized price before any work begins.

Every project is handled in-house by our mobile app development team, and you can see recent work in our portfolio. Reviews are on our Google Business Profile.

Vancouver Industries We Build For

Vancouver's economy leans on these sectors. We have built for most of them and can show relevant work on a call.

Technology, software and startups

Tech companies in Vancouver bring us overflow work and internal tools: admin dashboards, customer portals, integrations and the internal apps that never make it onto the product roadmap. We work in your repositories, follow your review process and hand over documented code.

Media, film, creative and marketing

Media and creative companies in Vancouver ask us for asset libraries, client review and approval portals, booking tools and billing integrations. We build tools that fit the way a studio actually works.

Real estate, development and construction

Developers and builders in Vancouver ask us for client portals with project updates and documents, scheduling and subcontractor tools, and dashboards that pull from estimating and accounting software. We build what fits the existing workflow.

Mobile App Development Vancouver, BC FAQs

Questions Vancouver business owners ask before starting.

Ask Us Anything
How much does it cost to build an app for a Vancouver business?
Apps are quoted per project after scoping, because cost depends on features, integrations and whether a backend already exists. We usually suggest a focused first version so you can launch sooner and learn from real users.
Native or React Native?
React Native for almost every business app, because one team and one codebase cover both platforms at a fraction of the cost. Fully native development only makes sense for apps with heavy graphics or unusual hardware needs.
Do you handle the app store accounts?
We set up the developer accounts in your company's name, prepare the listings and submit the app, and handle the back-and-forth with store review.
Do you work with businesses in Vancouver, BC?
Yes. We work with Vancouver clients remotely: discovery and design reviews happen over video, you approve each stage in your browser, and vancouver is on Pacific time, three hours behind our office in Mississauga, Ontario, so our working days overlap for most of the afternoon.
Do you need to be in British Columbia to build our site?
No. We work with clients across Canada from Mississauga, Ontario. Reviews, approvals and training happen over video and screen sharing, and the site is hosted and registered in your name wherever you are.
Do you also work elsewhere in British Columbia?
Yes. Besides Vancouver, we work with businesses in Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Victoria, Kelowna and Abbotsford and across the rest of British Columbia. The process is identical wherever you are in the province.
