It's a highly flexible way to build mobile apps that can handle your business growth indefinitely. You can update your apps on the fly, constantly A/B test your app and site, and build an optimized app experience.

Do you work with all directory websites?
FAQ open/close button.

Yes! The beauty of our approach is we can build mobile apps for any directory or listing website no matter what it's built on.

Directory sites built on Bubble, Sharetribe, Directorist (or any other WordPress directory plugin) and any other platform can all be turned into native mobile apps with MobiLoud.

How long does it take to convert a directory website to a mobile app?
FAQ open/close button.

You can turn your directory website into a mobile app in as little as 2 weeks with MobiLoud.

This is often how long it takes to make design adjustments, add native features, and adequately test your apps to make sure they are ready for launch.

Once submitted, the approval process can take anywhere from 7-10 days when you factor in any feedback and changes requested by the app store QA teams.

Solutions that promise you an app in minutes or hours do the bare minimum - often giving you a literal 1:1 replication of your mobile site, without making adjustments to provide a great native mobile app experience.

They also provide little to no support with the app submission process, which can be long and frustrating if you aren't familiar with app store guidelines.

Do you have any customer apps I can see right now?
FAQ open/close button.

You can check out our app examples to see the latest customer apps built with MobiLoud. We recommend downloading the apps to your phone to get the best experience.

Is MobiLoud a no-code app builder?
FAQ open/close button.

MobiLoud is more than a no-code app builder, it’s a fully managed service that converts your existing website into a mobile app. The process starts by an onboarding call with your customer success manager, then our team configures the app to mirror your website’s content, design, and functionality. This setup requires no coding or work on your end, as we handle everything for you.

As part of this initial set up, we apply small optimizations to improve the app’s user experience, making adjustments like removing elements that don’t work well on mobile, and adding native app features like navigation bars. You’ll be able to review and manage your app through the MobiLoud dashboard, where you can push updates to app pages, customize settings, and view analytics.

If you want to further customize the app experience, your developers can use conditional code to detect app users and deliver a different experience from what’s available on the web. This flexibility allows you to create app-only features, pages, or unique designs.

Our service handles the end-to-end process, from setup to app store submission, so you can launch your app quickly and cost-effectively, with the confidence that it will be approved by both Apple and Google.

What changes can MobiLoud make to my website when building a mobile app?
FAQ open/close button.

MobiLoud is a software solution and a service to turn your website into a mobile app that leverages your existing mobile site and its functionality and design. We build your mobile app by combining your website with our native elements for navigation, push notifications, and other app-specific functionality.

We don't offer custom development services, but your web development team can make any sort of change and build any sort of experience in your mobile app by simply building it on the web and using a few lines of code to identify the app and create a specific app-only experience.

As part of our service, our team implements small tweaks to your website for a better experience when it's loaded within your app. This includes removing site footers, widgets or pop-ups, or elements that don’t offer a good mobile experience or aren’t allowed in mobile apps. We handle these changes using our experience from publishing over 2,000 apps to ensure a smoother in-app experience and get your app approved on both Apple and Google stores.

After your app is live, we’re also happy to make similar small changes based on your feedback and requests. However, we don’t offer custom web or app development or extensive modifications of your site's design, beyond what's described above.

Our platform, though, is highly flexible, and there's no limitation to what you can achieve with just web development. You can build almost any app functionality, provided that you can find a solution to build that experience on the web.

We provide documentation to help your web development team or agency to implement app-only features, pages, or unique app experiences.
