Vancouver’s Essential Designs is one of our top picks for app development for many reasons. One of them is their range of services, making them an all-in-one solution for your needs.

Basically, they offer website and mobile app development. They can create custom apps from scratch and rescue your projects made by other developers, essentially salvaging your app to get it back on track.

Plus, they offer UX/UI designs and software support. We also found their support team to be proactive, since they offer a 24/7 emergency response.

From what we’ve observed, they’re brilliant at what they do! The apps they’ve created have been efficient with a great user experience—we had no lag issues!

They’re also accessible because they work with small and large businesses, including Fortune 500 companies! It’s awesome that they accept any kind of project!

But do note their minimal budget is slightly higher than other app developers in the area. They still work within the budget, though!

On time and on budget

“On time, on budget, easy communication and meeting every expectation and then some. It’s been a pleasure working with the entre team and I look forward to continued work together!”

Goes the extra mile for the best solution

“We have been working with Essential Designs for software development for the last year and could not be happier with the quality of work and the efforts put in by the entire team. They go the extra mile to determine the best solution to the problems we are trying to solve, are very detail oriented, and go above and beyond. We could not recommend them highly enough!”

When we saw the portfolio of Raccoopack Media, we were immediately hooked! It’s always awesome to see creative apps that are easy to understand, which is what we witnessed here.

It shouldn’t have been a surprise, given that they work with various industries, such as education, healthcare, and manufacturing. We also love that they work on small and big projects, making them accessible to Vancouverites.

They don’t fall short on their offerings, either, as these guys offer web and mobile app development and design services.

Additionally, they specialise in game development, a cool option that can add an immersive experience through gamification! We love the fun feature this adds to any app, which can grab more user attention!

Most clients had wonderful experiences working with the development team, except for a couple of hiccups with the deadlines. Some felt the team could’ve communicated potential delays better.

Nonetheless, these aren’t usual occurrences. We still appreciate their professionalism, overall.

Always one call away

“Probably the best experience we have ever had as new business owners. George & Jason’s team helped build our amazing website, logo, digital menu, and even gave us invaluable tips to help strengthen our social media presence! Their team was always one call away for our needs if we ever needed last minute updates on any of our digital platforms. They even took the time to bring the entire team to our facility to get a feel of who we are and what we require of them. We highly highly recommend this talented, skilled team for any business owner. 5 stars all the way.”

Team is highly collaborative

“With Raccoopack’s help, the end product met all project goals in both functional and visual deliveries. The team is highly collaborative and willing to personally visit the client for meetings. The team also has an impressive ability to work with varied stakeholders across many institutions.”

Pieoneers Software knows how to develop an effective and good-looking app, and they have the goods to back it up. They’ve successfully launched over 40 projects to date!

We also like how their portfolio is composed of a wide array of businesses, showcasing their creativity and ability to tailor their expertise based on the client’s needs.

Their services are comprehensive as well. We like that aside from mobile and web app development, they also offer web design, SEO, branding, and AI development—the complete package, basically!

Everything goes smoothly here, based on our observations. Even though there were bumps when communicating about the timeline (their team is scattered all over the world), their app developers still managed to deliver on time.

It’s also worth noting that clients loved how they worked within the budget! Their tailored solutions helped follow the budget plan, whether for a small or large project, which is an incredible feat!

Strategic partners

“When we were at a crossroads with our legacy tech, Pieoneers stood out as more than just developers—they were strategic partners who understood our core sustainability ethos. They revamped our site for enhanced performance, reducing load times by 50-90% and implemented a robust goals database integrated with Tableau. Their agile approach, excellent communication, and technical expertise in React, Node.js, and Python made our project successful. Their proactive problem-solving and attention to detail made them an invaluable asset. I highly recommend them for their expertise and dedication.”

Proposed a solution that saved the day

“Pieoneers has been an excellent tech partner. When Heroku cut off support for our app’s version of Ruby on Rails in 2020, we were in a tough spot. But Pieoneers saved the day by proposing a creative and cost-effective containerizing solution. They executed it flawlessly and within our deadline. The team is smart, experienced and a pleasure to work with.”

Quiresoft Technologies is an app development company that grabbed our attention because they specialise in user-friendly solutions. They don’t strictly follow templates to ensure they can bring your vision to the screen.

For instance, they build apps from scratch so they can tailor them based on what you need. You can develop native and hybrid apps for Android and iOS, so you can reach a larger audience.

When we checked their portfolio, we were impressed! They did create user-friendly apps that even our non-techie friends had no trouble using.

They’re also very accessible. Their app developers are available six days a week and have consistently been responsive, which was a common compliment they received from our surveys.

However, their web app development is only for small and medium-sized businesses, so they’re a no-go for large companies. Honestly, it’s not a big deal since they still cater to a wide variety of industries.

Excellent experience

“Excellent experience with Quiresoft! I recently had an app developed for my business. The app developed is very user friendly and satisfies all my business needs. Highly recommended!”

Gurjot Singh, Google Review

Helped me greatly

“Great work by Quiresoft team for my Painting Website and marketing. Kavita and Manpreet helped me get great quality leads through Facebook Ads and SEO. They know what they are doing. Highly recommend if you are looking for Marketing Agency in Vancouver.”

We like Twelfth Dream because they specialise in app development. Their expertise is what made us pick them, since the apps we’ve seen have been super easy to use!

They specialise in startups and small businesses, although they don’t cater to large companies. Then again, they’re still accessible to many clients because they accept projects from all over North America.

Even though they don’t have a wide variety of services, unlike other app developers in the area, we’re still confident in their skills. The fact that they dedicate their time to web and mobile app development means they can focus entirely on your project!

Plus, the professionalism we’ve seen deserves a spotlight! Their clients appreciated that the app developers maintained strong communication throughout to ensure every little detail was right.

Another thing we like is their attention to the budget. These guys know how to stay within the budget while still delivering the project on time!

Will take care of your project

“Mahdi has lots of knowledge and is able to apply key concepts to make your app reality. He has heart and clearly loves his job, he will take care of your project!”

Jennifer Jean-Louis, Google Review

Exceeded all expectations

“We have work on many software and website related projects over the years with Twelfth Dream. The projects ranged from website upgrades to creating our own software for our Good Space Online Interior Design process. Their team is fantastic. They exceeded all expectations, are great with communication throughout the project and truly took the time to get to know us. Know our vision for our software, create a plan to get that made and build something that we can always keep developing on. Thank you Mahdi and the team at Twelfth Dream! I highly recommend their team for your next vision you have to streamline something in your business.”
