Their hard work and dedication resulted in following apps that fall under the ‘Must-have’ list of mobile app development services that must occupy a space in your smartphone when visiting a new place for the first time.

The Culture Trip

This is an online travel and magazine. The app is filled with articles and guides written by individuals local to the area that give briefs on places-of-interest so that any new visitor can have tons of knowledge before dropping off at a new location.

Uber

Visiting different places entails a full-time vehicle at your service. Afterall, Canada is not a small town which could be covered in a day on foot.

What’s more, one can easily order dinner from UberEats easily if the service is available in the locality where you live.

Air Canada

This app, however, has been designed only for iPhone users and offers many services across the singular platform. Not necessarily Canada, but rather any other place one wishes to travel. Air Canada proves to be the most helpful app that allows riders to check-in directly to the flight right from their smartphone. Booking, finding and tracking of flights, upgrading to the executive class, selecting seats on the flight to purchasing items on the flight etc, are a few of the other services are catered to right from the same app.

Airbnb

This is the definitely unique concept that struck the mobile app developer involved with building such an app. Often, it is not possible to book a hotel at certain places without shedding off quite a few bucks unnecessarily. Therefore, seeking out cheap rooms is easier and pocket-friendly on Airbnb. Residents do advertise for spare rooms in their home or an entire apartment for rent located at amazing places but price extremely cheap and friendly.

Foodora

Visiting a new place for the first time calls for tasting the mouth watering delicacies local to the place of concern. Not necessarily, the local delicacies are available in the hotel where you are put up with. Just take a walk outside to find out which are the places available to satiate your gastronomy. Then again, preparing beforehand the offers available at what prices and discounts etc. from the eat-outs listed near to the hotel can save you a lot of time. Else, get the food delivered right to your room.

Key Takeaways

Housing a population of approximately 3.63 crores (2016), Canada is definitely a proud owner of some of the mobile app development companies of the world.
