Editorial standards

Who writes our articles

Articles on mobileapplication.ca are written by Hamza Hai, a founder of Four Cents and its accountant and project manager. Her costing and planning guides draw on the quoting and scoping work she does for Four Cents clients every week.

Technical review

Zee, a founder of Four Cents and its lead developer, technically reviews the articles. The writer and the reviewer are named at the top of every article and each name links to a profile page.

How prices are set

Any price we give for our own work comes from the Four Cents price sheet for this site, the same figures the app cost calculator uses. If the price sheet changes, the calculator changes first and the articles follow. We do not quote a build price that is not on it.

Prices set by other companies, such as app store developer fees or hosting plans, are theirs, not ours. We report them as published by that company.

Sources

When an article relies on a law, a regulation, a date or a figure from another organisation, we link to the source. Some articles also end with a Sources list that shows the date we last checked each one.

We may recommend our own services

mobileapplication.ca is part of Four Cents, which designs and builds mobile apps for clients. Our articles sometimes recommend our own services, and the quote forms and calculators on each page lead to us.

Updates and corrections

Each article shows the date it was published and, when it changes, the date it was last updated. If you spot something wrong, email info@fourcents.ca with the page address and what needs fixing, so we can check it and correct the article.
