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.
Yes, you can configure the notifications to go out automatically as a response to specific events, including new content getting published. You can also send notifications manually whenever you wish.
Our WordPress plugins and Shopify apps provide this functionality for you, so there's nothing for your team to build.
If your site doesn't run on WordPress or Shopify, but rather uses any popular web stack, you'll be able to easily connect to Onesignal's REST API to trigger notifications for any event.
No, you can send as many as you like! You can integrate notifications with your website (we do that for you with our plugin if you're on WordPress or Shopify) to send them automatically or send them manually. We rely on Onesignal to send notifications and you'll have full control of your own Onesignal account. They have excellent documentation if you want to integrate their API in your web application.
We work closely with you from the start to guide you through promoting your app and ensuring it’s a success.
Our team helps implement site changes that can drive downloads, such as adding smart app banners and buttons to key areas of your website.
We'll also provide you with a full strategy to promote your app effectively to your existing audience.
This includes tactics like:
Once these are executed, we see our customers adding thousands of app users every single month and eventually generating 15-25% of their revenue from their mobile apps.
Our process starts with a consultation to understand your vision and app requirements. After sign-up, we schedule an onboarding call to discuss customization options and guide you through completing the necessary forms.
Once your preferences are clear, we develop your app, prepare custom graphics, and share a preview for your feedback. Together, we test the app, making sure everything works as expected.
After testing, we submit your app to the Apple and Google stores, monitor the approval process, and keep you updated until the app is live. Once your app is launched, we provide marketing advice and ready-to-use assets to help you promote it effectively. We also conduct strategy sessions around push notifications to ensure you're leveraging this powerful channel to maximize user engagement.
Throughout the entire process, we ensure you have support and input at every key step, from development to post-launch growth.
Yes, all the features and functionality your web app or website currently has can be recreated within your iOS and Android apps using MobiLoud.
Our platform takes everything from your web app (whether it's content, functionality, or design) and translates it seamlessly into a mobile app experience.
This includes all custom features, web-based plugins, vendors, and integrations (whether you're using platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or something custom-built).
You don’t have to rebuild anything from scratch. We bring everything over into your app, allowing you to maintain a single code base and website while expanding your reach to mobile app users.
Any updates or changes you make to your site are automatically reflected in the app, ensuring that the app stays in sync with your web platform.
We offer a complete no-code configuration dashboard that gives you full control of your app once it’s live. However, to ensure the app is built optimally and approved quickly by Apple and Google, our team handles the initial configuration. With our experience, we can set up your app in the most efficient and effective way possible.
After the app is live, you or your technical team can access the dashboard to manage the app's configuration, including pages, menus, and push notifications. If you prefer, our team is always available to make any adjustments on your behalf, especially if you’re not technical. We can handle everything for you as needed.
