What Users Like The Most

  • Wow, it's crazy how good they are.
  • What we liked most about Sidekick Interactive was their ability to focus on what truly mattered. They challenged assumptions when necessary, eliminated non-essential features, and prioritized high-leverage mobile solutions that improved adoption, retention, and scalability. Their combination of speed, quality, and thoughtful guidance made them a partner who consistently delivered meaningful impact without adding unnecessary complexity.
  • True native-mobile expertise (iOS Swift) paired with product strategy. They right-sized scope, reduced risk, and delivered a clean UX with measurable stability.

What Users Like The Least

  • Oopsie. They dropped the ball.
  • The only area for improvement was pricing. Sidekick Interactive’s services were on the higher end compared to other bids. However, the quality of their work, speed of delivery, and collaborative approach fully justified the investment, making the premium cost worthwhile.
  • Minor: we asked for a few extra enablement notes for our internal team; they turned those around quickly.

Smooth, collaborative project with on-time, high-quality mobile app delivery

Working with Sidekick Interactive was highly professional and productive. Their team executed the project efficiently, delivering all milestones on time while keeping the process low-friction. Weekly checkpoints included working software, not just status updates, and trade-offs were clearly explained whenever decisions arose. They challenged assumptions constructively, focusing only on high-leverage mobile features that would improve adoption and scalability. The quality of their deliverables, speed of execution, and collaborative approach made the entire experience smooth and highly impactful. While their pricing was on the premium end, the results, attention to detail, and partnership fully justified the investment.

Sidekick Interactive led discovery workshops with our product and data teams to identify high-friction points in desktop workflows and prioritize mobile-first features.

Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps were built with secure authentication, push notifications, quick capture for field tasks, and offline-read capabilities.

Analytics instrumentation, event tracking, crash reporting, and CI/CD pipelines were implemented. TestFlight and internal Play builds were delivered alongside documentation, QA results, and a launch-aligned runbook. The apps launched successfully, showing higher completion rates on targeted workflows, faster time-to-first-value, and strong stability. CAC payback and NRR improvements are expected as mobile adoption increases

Sidekick Interactive: reliable Canadian mobile app dev team that delivers exactly as promised.

Sidekick Interactive helped us turn a rough idea into a clear plan with real timelines and costs. Then they built a stable MVP our stakeholders could test right away. We had weekly check-ins and sprint demos, and the backlog was always up to date. They met milestones, called out risks before they became issues, and handled feedback well. Handoff was smooth, design assets, code, CI/CD, QA notes, and a short runbook made internal adoption easy. Our client felt confident, which made approvals faster.

Problem

The City of Montreal was looking for a modern solution to better communicate the snow-removal schedule for streets, a great source of frustration for Montrealers. Also, car tows due to parking restrictions cause large inefficiencies to the flow of the municipal snow removal operation.

Solution

Create a mobile app which allows the city to communicate the snow removal status and schedule through their open-data portal, on a street by street basis with a simple color code. Citizens can save targeted street sides to receive notifications, which allows them to plan their parking more efficiently.
