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.

They delivered quality native mobile app on time, with strong product focus, and clear communication

The apps released on schedule. Early stability is strong with over 99 percent crash-free sessions. Onboarding completes fast with no support spikes. Mobile touch points now cover the top tasks our users perform away from a desk. We will track feature adoption and retention as usage grows.

High-Quality Native Mobile Apps Delivered On Time and With P

What service was provided as part of the project?

Mobile App Development

Describe your project in brief

We asked for native apps that add value, not parity. Sidekick ran joint scoping with our PMs and architects. They mapped user journeys, picked mobile-first jobs, and cut the rest. Deliverables included UX flows, Figma files, and a prioritized backlog with acceptance criteria. They built native iOS and Android apps with secure auth, push notifications, quick actions, and offline reads where needed. They added analytics, crash reporting, CI/CD, and store-ready builds for TestFlight and internal Play. Handoff included source code, release notes, QA results, and a clear runbook.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?

They reduce cognitive load. They cut features that do not belong on phones and defend that decision. Quality stayed high while moving fast. They understood interface contracts and stayed inside guardrails.

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

Cost landed on the high side compared to other bids. Output quality and speed matched the price.

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.

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.

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.

  • Over 30M in-app queries
  • Validating of big need in terms of niche municipal mobile applications
