Native app features

Everything customers expect from a native app

Your MobiLoud app is a native iOS and Android app, built on top of your store. It comes with native navigation, your own icon and splash screen, links that open the app and push notifications, and our team can build anything more you need.

An app your customers will keep

Your customers use the best apps in the world every day, and they expect yours to work the same way. Native features make shopping with you faster and easier, and that’s what keeps your app on their phone.

How native features work in your app

Every MobiLoud app comes with the native features customers know from the apps they use every day. Here’s what comes with yours.

Native navigation

Your app gets a native tab bar, so your most important pages are one tap away from every screen. You choose the tabs, icons and colors, and can change them any time from our dashboard.

  • Tabs that link to any page on your site
  • A live count on your cart tab
  • A back button wherever customers need one
  • Changes go live without an App Store update

Your brand from the first tap

We design your app icon, splash screen and store listings to match your brand, so your app looks like yours from the moment it’s installed.

  • Your icon on your customers’ home screens
  • A branded splash screen while the app opens
  • A welcome screen for first-time customers
  • App Store and Google Play listings with your screenshots

Sign-in that works like an app

Customers sign in with the account they have on your site. If your store offers Apple, Google or Facebook login, that works in your app too, and you choose whether to ask for sign-in when the app opens or only when it’s needed.

  • The same accounts and order history as your site
  • Apple, Google and Facebook login
  • Sign-in when the app opens, or only when it’s needed

Links that open your app

When customers tap a link to your site in an email, a text or a social post, it opens straight in your app if they have it installed. Customers without the app land on your site as usual.

  • Product, collection and campaign links open in the app
  • Works on iPhone and Android
  • Set up by our team

Push notifications, built in

Every MobiLoud app comes with native push notifications on iOS and Android. Send campaigns and automated messages, and each one opens the exact page you choose.

  • Your icon and name on every notification
  • Campaigns, automations and abandoned cart reminders
  • Each notification opens the page you choose

Native details that add up

The small details customers notice in the best apps come with yours too. Your developers can trigger them from your site with a few lines of JavaScript.

  • A settings screen where customers choose their notifications
  • Haptic feedback on the taps you choose
  • Cart tabs that refresh in the background
  • Prompts to update when a new version is out

Need something more? We’ll build it.

Every app comes with the features above. When your store needs something more, our team builds it into your app as a native feature, so you get a custom app without hiring an app team.

From our customers

A real app, with real app features

"I liked the fact that you guys were able to duplicate the website into an app, and actually make it look like an app, with real app features. That was what made me choose MobiLoud."
Raphael Faccarello Head of Ecommerce at Yon-Ka Paris
"Because we’re using an app, we have the ability to leverage native device features and capabilities that are not available to a web browser."

"We got something that looks as professional as any other native app."

Is a MobiLoud app a native app?

A MobiLoud app is a native iOS and Android app, published in the App Store and Google Play. It has native navigation, push notifications and the other features on this page, and it’s built on top of your existing store, so there’s nothing to rebuild.

Can the app look different from the website?

Yes. Our team designs app-specific home screens, navigation, product pages and cart layouts, while everything behind them keeps running on your website.

Which native features come with every MobiLoud app?

Every MobiLoud app comes with a native tab bar, your own app icon and splash screen, a welcome screen for first-time customers, sign-in with your site’s accounts, links that open the app, push notifications and a native settings screen. Your developers can also trigger native touches like haptic feedback, cart badges and the push permission prompt from your site.

Can I change my app’s tab bar after launch?

You can change your app’s tabs, icons and colors at any time in the MobiLoud dashboard. Changes reach your app without an App Store update, and customers see them the next time they open the app.

Can customers sign in with Apple or Google in the app?

Customers can sign in with Apple, Google or Facebook in your app when your store offers those options on your site. They can also sign in with the account they have on your site, and see the same order history and account details.

Do links to my website open in the app?

Links to your website open in your app for customers who have it installed, on both iPhone and Android. Our team sets this up as part of your build. Customers who don’t have the app see the page on your site as usual.

Who designs the app icon and splash screen?

Our team designs your app icon, splash screen, welcome screen and App Store screenshots to match your brand, as part of building your app.

Can you build a native feature that isn’t on this list?

Our team can build native features your app needs beyond the standard set, and integrate native SDKs from your vendors. We scope and price that work for your approval before it starts, and maintain the feature with the rest of your app.

Will Apple and Google approve my app?

Getting your app approved by Apple and Google is part of our work: we handle the submissions and any feedback from their review. MobiLoud has published more than 2,000 apps in the App Store and Google Play since 2013.

Can my developers use native features from our site?

Your developers can trigger native features from your site with MobiLoud’s native functions, a small JavaScript API built into every app. They can use it for haptic feedback, cart badges, tab refreshes, the push permission prompt and more, without touching native code.
