Development
Yes, MobiLoud can create great cross platform mobile apps from virtually any website or web app built with any CMS or tech stack. Do you see people using your website as an app? Is your site mobile optimized? Then you can convert it with MobiLoud!
Yes, whatever your web app currently does, MobiLoud can recreate that same user experience and feature set within iOS and Android apps.
The MobiLoud platform itself is fully native and built from scratch in Swift, Java and Kotlin for the best user experience and performance. MobiLoud apps are not strictly native, but rather your existing site or web app running inside a native container that runs in every way like a native app, adds native navigation and features like push notifications. This allows you to recreate your web experience exactly, while adding the key features you need to improve user experience on mobile devices.
Ultimately, you could build a native app from scratch (very very expensive, complex – only for well funded companies where the app is a key part of the value prop), or use a template based solution (could be good but by definition it will be limiting), or use our approach, which gives you the benefits of a native app with the flexibility of the web.
A hybrid approach lets you have a mobile app with all the features of your website, in a very short time and very affordably, with the added benefit of not having to worry about constantly catching up with your site's development to add new features (i.e. if you add or change anything on the site, it changes in the app). You'll maintain a single code-base, your website's, for both site and app.
It's a huge saving in both time and money terms, and it gives you incredible flexibility compared to a situation where you have a web app or website and a native app alongside it.
In a sense yes, MobiLoud is an app builder.
Unlike app builders MobiLoud does not use drag-and-drop blocks which are often incredibly limiting. Instead, we offer a done-for-you service to turn your optimized website into native apps that often look, feel and perform better than app builder apps.
There are no integration limits, you own your entire site design, and you'll never have to pay additional fees for any revenue generated through your apps.
Most app builders are also platform-first which means they are built with a DIY approach in mind. While that works for some people, customers often make the switch from various app builders including AppyPie, Tapcart and many others once they realize the limitations and hassles of having to maintain an app separately from their website experience.
If you want apps that keep the features and functionality of your site, then it makes no sense at all to develop apps from scratch by hiring developers or an agency. The costs in time and money are prohibitive and you won't neccessarily get a better result. There are other site to app converters on the market – but none of them offer the same level of customization, service and support that MobiLoud does. So yes, MobiLoud is the best way to convert a website to mobile apps.
Yes! Although our code editor allows you to add custom code if you know what you're doing – there is no need for most users. Configuration of MobiLoud apps is completely no code and simple – and if you run into any difficulties we're always on hand to help out!
We add native navigation, a native tab menu, custom splash screens and loading indicators, a message center and push preferences, and many other features. Get in touch with one of our app experts to see what's possible!
Yes – MobiLoud works with any site or web app, built on any CMS or tech stack. If you can build it on the web, MobiLoud can convert it into great apps!
With our documentation and support, you will be able to configure the app on your own. We are there to help you out with any questions or guidance needed, and we can always just do it for you too!
Yes this is possible and straightforward to set up.
The limitations of MobiLoud apps are the same limitations of the web itself. If you can conceive of it and build it to run in a browser, MobiLoud can convert it into mobile apps. The only limitations of MobiLoud are when it comes to accessing the native features of the device like the accelerometer or the Face ID system – we don't offer that. If you want to build a hybrid app from scratch, a solution like Cordova is a better fit.
A progressive web app is built to run on common web browsers, as an "enhanced" website that has some features of a native app. MobiLoud apps are effectively a dedicated browser with native elements added, that can be installed on a users device and published on the App Store and Google Play. The advantages of MobiLoud over a PWA are that you can use MobiLoud apps to send push notifications to iOS users (not possible from a PWA), and you can easily publish your MobiLoud app on the App Store and Google Play to build a presence there.
The process starts with a consultation with one of our app experts. We go over your vision for the apps, the must-have features, and create a roadmap for bringing them live. Then we begin with the development work. You'll be in touch with us throughout the process, and will have plenty of opportunities for input and testing the apps along the way. After a couple of weeks (for projects with less complex customization and features), we'll be ready to go through the final testing of your app and prepare it for submission and publishing on the App Store and Google Play.
No – the apps will update automatically whenever you publish anything new! There is little to add to your existing workflow, just keep doing what you're doing, easy like that!
Yes, you can embed any video or audio player into the apps!
Our mobile apps are multi language and support RTL for Arabic and Hebrew. We add languages all the time, get in touch to inquire about support for your own language. Languages currently supported include: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Chinese (Si.), Chinese (Tr.), Danish, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian (Bo.), Portuguese (Br.), Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish and more.
Absolutely! A shared codebase makes this incredibly simple.
We’ll work with you to build these app-only pages on your site so your customers get the perfect, VIP app experience.
App-only collections, promotions and content can be easily managed through your CMS with no complex setup needed.
Not at all! Advances in web technology mean that webview apps built with MobiLoud have closed the gap with fully custom apps significantly.
Our team also works with you to make sure your site is optimized for optimal performance.
Whether you’ve got product configurators, custom checkout, niche payment gateways, or a fully custom tech stack, we’ve got you covered.
We are the best solution for fully custom websites since we can seamlessly transform your site into an app with almost no work needed from your team.
Platform Approval
From the moment you sign up and provide the information we need to build your app to sending you a version you can test, we take typically 5-10 business days.
However, the complete process to get your app live typically takes around a month. This timeline accounts for more than just the technical build. It includes important steps like making design adjustments, adding native features, and thoroughly testing the app to ensure it’s ready for launch.
Additionally, your involvement is crucial. You’ll need to review and approve different elements, sign up for necessary accounts, and provide feedback on test builds.
Once the app is submitted, the approval process from Apple and Google can take anywhere from 7-10 days, depending on feedback and any changes requested by the app store QA teams.
It’s a good idea to prepare for your app’s launch with marketing activities and materials, but we strongly recommend not scheduling anything to go live until the app is officially approved by Apple and Google.
The approval process can be iterative, often involving multiple rounds of feedback and revisions, so it’s difficult to predict exactly when your app will go live. Only after final approval should you plan your launch activities.
Yes, the apps are 100% yours. You own your user data and all accounts related to the app. Therefore, it will be necessary for you to register your own accounts on Google Play and App Store to ensure your app is approved and you’re in control of it. You can replace the app at any time with a different solution or your own custom app, we don't lock you in. Find out how to register for an Apple Developer account and a Google Play Developer account.
We have a strong track record of getting 100% of the apps we submit approved. While it might take a few submissions, we’re confident we’ll get your app approved eventually. However, should your app not be approved due to technical reasons related specifically to our platform, we will offer you a refund of subscription fees paid (monthly or annual), excluding our set up fees, which are never refundable, without exception. This refund offer does not apply if the approval issue is related to your website, design, functionality, or any specific aspect of your business, such as your activity not being allowed by Apple or Google on their app store.
Pricing & Billing
We put a tremendous amount of effort into every app we develop, starting from the moment you sign up. We’re not just offering a tool, but a full-service partnership where our team works closely with you from day one, ensuring that your app is successfully launched.
But your success also requires your active participation and timely feedback throughout the process, and for that we need you invested in the project as much as we are.
Given the considerable time and resources we invest upfront, our fees are due from the moment you sign up, regardless of whether your app goes live in one month, two months, or even three. We take pride in the dedication and effort that goes into every project, and we need our customers to be equally committed to this collaboration.
Because of the nature of our service, we’re unable to take on the risk of refunds. All fees—whether they are setup fees, monthly fees, or annual fees—are non-refundable.
This policy reflects the mutual commitment needed for a successful app launch. By working closely together, we can achieve the best possible outcome for your app and your business.
You pay a recurring monthly or annual fee because MobiLoud is not just a one-time service; it's an ongoing partnership. Our recurring fee covers continuous updates, maintenance, and support to ensure your app remains up-to-date and performs optimally as your business evolves.
We manage all the technical aspects for you, make any changes to the apps you require, handle any issues that arise, and make sure your app stays compliant with the latest app store requirements.
This ongoing service is essential to maintaining a high-quality app that continues to deliver value to your business and helps you achieve your goals.
Also, we work with you to ensure your app's success, offering our assistance with everything from app marketing strategies to effectively using push notifications to engage your users.
The setup fee covers the comprehensive services MobiLoud provides to ensure your app is not only functional but also polished and ready for a successful launch.
This fee includes making necessary adjustments to your website and app so it works seamlessly and feels like a native app. We make design improvements to enhance the user experience and add functionality from third-party apps and plugins to ensure your app meets all your business needs.
In addition to these, we handle all graphic design requirements, ensuring your app looks great on the app stores.
Our team conducts multiple rounds of QA testing to identify and fix any issues, making sure your app is of the highest quality.
We also take care of setting up your app store pages, capturing screenshots, compiling app binaries, and signing the app with the required certificates and provisioning profiles.
Finally, we guide you through the entire process, making any necessary adjustments based on your feedback, and then submit your app to Apple and Google for approval.
This thorough process ensures that your app is ready to deliver a seamless experience to your users from day one, with the highest quality possible.
Yes you can cancel any time, there are no long term contracts. Your apps will have to be removed from the stores.
In this case, you will upgrade to a higher plan to keep growing! We'll get in touch when you're close to hitting the limits to give you a heads up.
Active users are the number of people that download your app and are recorded as active in a 30 day period in Firebase.
You have to start paying monthly fees from the beginning because we invest significant time and resources into your app right from the moment you sign up. These fees are due regardless of when the app goes live because so much of the timeline depends on actions that only you can take. For example, you’ll need to register accounts with Apple and Google, obtain a DUNS number by registering with Dun & Bradstreet, fill in a form with details about your app, and provide feedback on the test builds we send you.
Our team is actively working on your app throughout this process, and the monthly fees reflect the continuous effort and collaboration required to ensure a successful launch. Billing from the start ensures that both parties are committed and allows us to maintain the high level of service necessary to deliver a high-quality app, regardless of how long it takes to go live.
Yes, we require you to register as a business for both Apple and Google developer accounts. We do not support individual or personal accounts.
To register, your business will need a D-U-N-S Number. This is a unique nine-digit identifier assigned to businesses by Dun & Bradstreet, used worldwide to verify a company’s legal status and identity. Both Apple and Google use this number to ensure that your business is legitimate.
If your business doesn’t already have a D-U-N-S Number, you can apply for one through Dun & Bradstreet’s website, and it’s completely free. The application process involves submitting basic details about your business, such as the legal name, address, and contact information. In some cases, Dun & Bradstreet might reach out for additional verification, such as business registration documents. The process to receive a D-U-N-S Number typically takes up to 30 days, so it’s important to start early.
Once you have the D-U-N-S Number, you can proceed with registering for both the Apple Developer Program, which costs $99 USD per year, and the Google Play Developer Program, which has a one-time registration fee of $25.
We encourage you to initiate the registration process with Apple and Google right after signing up with us, to avoid any hold-ups later. By the time we have completed work on your app, your accounts should be ready to go.
