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 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.
It will take very little work to keep your app running.
The app is designed to sync automatically with your website, meaning any updates or changes you make to your site (whether it's new content, design updates, or adding new features) are instantly reflected in the app.
This eliminates the need to manage the app separately. Essentially, by maintaining your website, you're also maintaining your app at the same time.
In addition to this automatic syncing, we provide ongoing support to ensure everything runs smoothly. If any issues arise, or if you need help with updates or adjustments, our team is always available to assist.
You also have access to a dashboard where you can control app-specific features (like push notifications or app settings) without needing technical knowledge. If you're not comfortable managing these aspects, our team is always available to handle it for you.
Overall, the app requires minimal effort to keep running, allowing you to focus on your website while enjoying the benefits of both a fully functional mobile app, always up to date.
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.
Your users will have a message center in which they can select the kind of notifications they wish to receive – this is great for making your push notifications more impactful and well received. If you're running on WordPress and use a plugin like BuddyPress, BuddyBoss or Peepso, we include a direct integration to trigger user-specific notifications (e.g. for new private messages). If you've built your own web app, you can easily identify individual users in Onesignal and trigger a push message with notifications for the single user.
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 always use a subscription model because work on a mobile app doesn’t end once it’s live. Apps require ongoing maintenance to keep up with SDK updates for iOS and Android version changes, as well as updates for the App Store and Google Play requirements.
Additionally, key components like push notification and analytics SDKs, along with our platform, need regular updates for security and performance.
A subscription also ensures you have access to support whenever you need it—even years after launch, whether for something as small as updating app store screenshots or more significant adjustments. This model provides the reliability and ongoing service you can count on.
Our payment structure is straightforward and transparent. Payment is due at the time of sign-up and includes both the setup fee for your chosen plan and the first subscription period (monthly or annual).
The setup fee covers the detailed work of configuring your app and getting it approved on the app stores. The subscription fee ensures ongoing support, maintenance, and updates for your app. These costs are clearly outlined in your plan details and are charged when you commit to working with us.
To help you make an informed decision, we offer a free app preview. This allows you to see how your app will look and function before signing up. Once you decide to move forward, all payments are final, reflecting the work our team has already undertaken to create and maintain your app.
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.
We build, launch, and manage everything for you. Unlike DIY app builders that give you a tool and leave you to figure things out, MobiLoud acts as your remote app development team, handling the entire process from start to finish.
Over the years, we’ve learned that businesses don’t just need a tool to build an app. They need a team that ensures their app is successful. A DIY solution leaves you responsible for setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance. If something breaks due to a website update or app store changes, you’re on your own.
With MobiLoud, we take full responsibility for your app. We make sure it always works as intended, no matter what changes on your site or in your business. Our team is always there to assist, ensuring the app runs smoothly with a great user experience.
But success doesn’t stop at launching the app. We help you promote it, drive downloads, and make full use of push notifications to keep users engaged and increase revenue. Most businesses don’t have time to figure out app marketing or how to maximize retention through push notifications, so we guide you through the process and ensure you get real value from your app.
We’ve been doing this for over 10 years, have published 2,000+ apps, and know what it takes to build and maintain successful mobile apps. We don’t just get your app live—we stay with you to make sure it drives real results for your business.
Launching your app is just the first step. We help you promote it to ensure strong adoption and engagement.
We provide smart app banners and QR codes to drive app downloads directly from your website. These ensure your website visitors know your app is available and can download it with a single tap.
For eCommerce brands, we help set up push notification automations, including cart abandonment and promo campaigns, to drive repeat sales.
With our done-for-you push notification service, we don’t just set up the channel, we run it for you. We help draft and schedule push messages based on your marketing calendar, promotions, and product launches.
We also provide guidance on app store optimization, marketing best practices, and retargeting strategies to maximize installs. If needed, we can work with your team to integrate the app into your broader marketing efforts.
Building a native app from scratch is slow, expensive, and often unsustainable in the long run. Most custom native app projects fail—not necessarily at launch, but over time, when the app and website evolve separately. Keeping both in sync becomes too slow and costly, leading to an outdated app that’s difficult to maintain.
With MobiLoud, you get all the benefits of a mobile app without the downsides of traditional native development:
If your website is your primary product and the app is meant to complement it, MobiLoud is the clear choice. You get the reach and engagement of a mobile app while keeping the speed, flexibility, and efficiency of a single web codebase.
MobiLoud is a full-service, done-for-you solution, meaning we take full responsibility for your app. We don’t just provide a tool. We work like your app team, handling everything from setup to publishing and ongoing maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about the technical side.
Unlike DIY builders or template-based solutions, MobiLoud ensures you have a fully branded, high-performance app without the headaches of traditional native development.
Yes. MobiLoud is built to work with any WordPress-based setup. It does not rely on fixed templates or components. Instead, it wraps your existing web application in a native mobile shell. This means anything that functions on your mobile site, including BuddyBoss, BuddyPress, custom post types, and even advanced plugins, will also work in the app. The system behaves like a special mobile browser, giving you maximum flexibility without requiring native development.
BuddyBoss offers a native app framework that pulls data from your site using APIs and displays it using predefined layouts. This gives you a more "native" feel but requires building and maintaining a separate mobile experience. MobiLoud takes a different approach. It lets you use your existing web interface and wraps it in a native app. You can keep building on the web and your changes are reflected instantly in the app. This approach dramatically reduces development time and cost, and it is more flexible if your site is already heavily customized.
Yes. You can continue using your existing WordPress theme or create a custom version just for mobile app users. Many customers choose to clone their theme and simplify the layout for the app. You can also hide or modify specific elements with CSS that is injected only in the app environment. This gives you full control over the app’s appearance and allows you to optimize the experience for mobile users without affecting the desktop site.
Yes. The MobiLoud WordPress plugin integrates with BuddyPress and BuddyBoss to detect user activity and trigger push notifications. Any event that sends an email notification - like a new message, a mention, a forum reply, can also trigger a push. This improves user engagement by keeping community members in the loop through their mobile device, even when they are not actively using the app.
Real-time chat interfaces that work on your website will also work inside the app. This includes AJAX-based chat, WebSockets, and live message feeds. However, the user experience may not be as fast or polished as apps like Telegram or Slack. Performance depends on how the chat system performs in a mobile browser. Many customers choose to handle real-time messaging in external apps like WhatsApp or Slack while using MobiLoud for the main community content and interactions.
One plugin that has been mentioned is Better Messages. It promises Slack-like functionality within WordPress and claims compatibility with BuddyBoss and BuddyPress. We have not run high-volume tests with it ourselves, but we are open to working with you if you choose to explore it. As long as it works well on your mobile site, it should also work in the app.
MobiLoud can handle all of that. If it runs on your mobile web browser, it will run in the app. Many of our customers use custom post types, AJAX-based forms, front-end submissions, and custom database tables. The app behaves like a browser, so you are not limited by a set of predefined features. You can use your existing tech stack and front-end logic without compromise.
Yes, with a few limitations. Apple and Google require that any digital products or subscriptions sold within the app must use their in-app purchase systems. These systems come with technical constraints and revenue share fees between 15 and 30 percent. To avoid that, most of our customers handle all purchases and payments on the web. Then, users simply log in through the app to access their paid content. This is fully supported and common across community and course-based apps.
You own the app and the data. The app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts. We do not access or control your user data. The content and interactions remain entirely on your WordPress site. MobiLoud provides the wrapper and infrastructure to deliver the app experience, but all data stays in your hands.
Yes. The subscription covers hosting, updates, SDK maintenance, push infrastructure, ongoing platform support, and store compliance. The mobile ecosystem evolves constantly. Apple and Google frequently release new OS versions, update developer policies, and introduce new requirements. Our team manages all of this in the background to ensure your app stays functional and approved. Without the subscription, your app would eventually stop working or be removed from the stores.
