Sidekick Interactive is a young and dynamic company which primarily develops mobile applications (native iOS and native Android solutions) for a variety of different clients. We’ve worked on innovative and challenging projects for the City of Montreal, City of Laval, car2go, multiple startups, European clients, and fortune 500 companies.
