As part of Canada’s 150th anniversary celebration, Apple’s App Store is featuring apps that have been developed in Calgary.

“Calgary’s pioneer spirit has given innovative app creators fertile ground to live in,” reads the “Made in Calgary” section of the App Store.

Altogether, there are 20 Calgary-developed apps currently being highlighted on the App Store.

These include:

• FetalBeats by Fetal Beats Inc for pregnant mothers to monitor their babies heart rate, developed by Fetal Beats Inc.
