Our customers love working with us:

“We couldn’t find another company that could offer the same features at the same price point, same time to market, and make it as easy as MobiLoud could.”

Svend Hansen, Product Owner, BESTSELLER

“If you’re set up on WordPress and you’re serious about WordPress – MobiLoud really gets WordPress. They can really be there for you in whatever capacity you need them to be for your team”

Adam Griffiths, Product Manager, Foreign Policy

“I wanted an easy option to literally convert my WordPress website into an app. After doing my research, MobiLoud was the one that stood out in terms of price and quality of service. If you already have a good mobile site, I don’t see the benefit of rebuilding an app from scratch when MobiLoud can get the job done.”

Arran Rice, Founder, Simply Flying

“Your level of service is unmatched. You are always there when we need you, and go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly for us.”

Kenneth Chan, Founder & CEO, TOBI

“My team is thrilled because we have functioning apps that require almost no effort on our part, to build or maintain. It is a brilliant solution.”

“Not only do MobiLoud have great support, but they’ve really come a long way with their technology. The ability to quickly configure your options and keep a lot of flexibility between WordPress and your mobile app is really a one of a kind experience”

Chris Burhans, CEO, Sports Mockery

How Does it Work?

We have two platforms – News, and Canvas.

News for WordPress-based news sites, blogs, magazines, online newspapers, digital publishers and larger media organizations. News lets you build fully featured content apps like those from top publishers like the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. If you’re a publisher, run a news site or blog built on WordPress, nothing can compete with native mobile apps for boosting loyalty, engagement and revenue on mobile.
Canvas for building hybrid iOS and Android apps from any WordPress site. Canvas lets you build apps with WordPress using your existing theme, all your plugins and site features: everything will work straight out of the box. Canvas is ideal for ecommerce stores, marketplaces, deals sites, directories, communities, and eLearning sites. It’s ideal for sites built with BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, Peepso, Learndash and many other platforms. WooCommerce websites can also easily be turned into native mobile apps using MobiLoud Canvas.

What Do They Have in Common?

Although News and Canvas work differently, they all have some key factors in common.

Simple, fast — You’ll be ready to launch in just weeks, and won’t need to touch a line of code – if you don’t want to – while allowing plenty of customization and opportunities to get hands-on with the code for developers and agencies.
Full service — Our team can handle all the technical tasks necessary to get your app live. You can rely on our experts to completely configure the app for you (read more about our Full Service Package).
No risk guarantee — MobiLoud has no long term contracts, and we offer a 60-day guarantee with a full refund if you are not happy with the apps for any reason. We also offer an approval guarantee i.e. if your app is not approved by Apple and Google you can cancel the project and have your money back.
Manage the apps through WordPress — You can send push notifications and manage the configuration of the apps from a simple dashboard that sits in your WordPress admin dashboard.
Updates and Maintenance included — Ongoing maintenance of mobile apps costs businesses thousands per year. With MobiLoud it is all handled under our ongoing monthly or annual fees at a fraction of the cost. We’re there to assist you with any issues you might have with your app or changes you’d like to make. Stress free.
Synced with your site — You won’t need to add anything to your workflow, or allocate your team’s time to managing the apps. They’ll sync completely with your WordPress site and update with any new content, product or changes.
Integrate (almost) everything from your site — MobiLoud lets you leverage the whole ecosystem of WordPress plugins within your apps, and recreate the functionality and features you already built with no limiting templates.
Full featured — All MobiLoud apps come with unlimited push notifications as well as useful features like native sharing, app analytics, advertising integration, message centers, push preferences, and much more.
Native UX — News produces fully native mobile apps, with a native UX. Although Canvas is for building hybrid apps, the native tab bar and navigation added give the apps a native look and feel.

Which is Right for You?

Let’s take a look at the three platforms in a little more detail, so that you can see which is best for your business.

Canvas

Canvas is perfect for community sites, startups, social platforms, deals sites, eLearning businesses, and in general any mobile optimized site based on WordPress.

Canvas lets you build an app with all the plugins, themes, custom code you used to build your site.

All other WordPress app builders force you into their themes and templates, and don’t let you fully leverage the flexibility of the WordPress platform like Canvas does.

We’ve published hundreds of apps with Canvas, powered by sites running on WooCommerce, LearnDash, BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, PeepSo, and a wide range of other plugins and themes.

Canvas gives you all the key advantages of native mobile apps like:

A Better Mobile UX — Your users can just tap once on their home screen and instantly open your app. When inside, the native navigation and tab menu provide a fast and intuitive experience.
More Loyalty and Engagement — Apps are great for driving loyalty and engagement. The icon on the home screen and push notifications are a constant reminder of your app – helping you to boost return visits, dwell time, and LTV.
Push Notifications — MobiLoud integrates with OneSignal, allowing you to send unlimited push notifications to iOS and Android devices right from your WordPress back-end.
An App Store Presence — A brand presence on the App Store and Google Play shows that you are serious about mobile user experience, and makes you look good in the eyes of potential users, partners and investors.

Canvas features

Canvas is packed with all the features you need to turn your site into great mobile apps. Let’s take a look at some of the key ones.

Native Tab Menu — The native tab menu is a key piece of your app. It makes the most important parts instantly accessible and gives a native experience to your users.
Native Navigation — iOS and Android users will be able to easily navigate through your app with a familiar native interface.
Message Center — Every push notification that your users receive will be accessed in the app’s message center so that they can explore them later.
Push Preferences — Your users can choose which kind of messages they want to receive. This improves their experience and makes your messages more impactful.
Customizable Splash Screen — Your users will see a branded splash screen while your apps load and get visual feedback with a loading indicator.
Configuration Dashboard — You can control everything about your app from a simple web interface.
Fully Customizable — Make the apps yours with a custom color scheme, logo and splash screen. Control every aspect of your app from our advanced JSON configuration if you know your way around code.
Automatic Rating Prompts — Gently nudge your users to review your app after they’ve used it for some time to help with your app marketing.
Firebase Analytics — With unlimited reporting and audience segmentation, Firebase will give you everything you need to understand your app users.
Handle External Links — Your app will be able to handle internal and external links, detecting the link tyle and either opening the device’s browser or keeping the user in-app
Code Editor — Inject any custom CSS to change how your pages are displayed in the app.

In summary, Canvas is for you if you want apps that mirror your existing WordPress site’s features and functionality. Anything you can build for the web with WordPress, you can now have an app for too!

News

News gives you everything you need to monetize — MobiLoud supports a number of mobile app specific advertising, analytics and membership solutions to give you all you need to monetize and grow your revenue through a new channel.

\nCan I use everything from my existing WordPress site in the app?\n\n

If you use Canvas, you can indeed reuse everything from your site. All functionality coming from plugins, your theme, and custom development will work just the same in the iOS and Android apps. Whatever feature you want in the apps, just build it for the web and you’ll have it!

For News, we have pre-built integrations with the most important and frequently used plugins and tools used by news publishers. Most plugins can easily be integrated with a few lines of code, sometimes more, [get in touch with our developers] (mailto:support@mobiloud.com)to learn more about how we can meet your specific needs.

\nAre MobiLoud apps native apps?\n\n

News produces native apps that use your WordPress site as the back-end. Most UI elements are native, with some hybrid elements making customization and easy integration with WordPress possible. It’s the perfect blend of native and hybrid approaches, resulting in apps that feel 100% native, with the flexibility and speed of web development for customizations.

Canvas creates hybrid apps that display your web application or website within a native “wrapper”. While the native format is ideal in the case of news – for many web apps Canvas beats native development.

\nShould I download and install this plugin?\n\n

You should download and activate this plugin if you are a MobiLoud customer. To learn more about MobiLoud and start the process, book a demo

\nHow is MobiLoud different from AppPresser?\n\n

MobiLoud and AppPresser are very different platforms. AppPresser is a template based DIY app-builder that creates hybrid apps that pull content from WordPress sites via APIs. You need to use AppPresser’s own theme and templates for the apps and will be able to use the plugins that they have pre-built integrations for. With AppPresser, it’s on you to customize your app.

MobiLoud Canvas is different because we let you use all your existing plugins and themes in the apps and don’t restrict you with templates. Our native platform, News, is used to produce fast, native mobile apps you can customize from a simple dashboard in WordPress or with code.

MobiLoud is also more of a service whereas AppPresser is more of a tool. We don’t leave you alone to build your apps, we help you build, review and publish them and we maintain them over time.

To read more about how MobiLoud Canvas compares to AppPresser, check this article out.

\nWho is MobiLoud for?\n\n

MobiLoud is a mobile app development service for WordPress-based businesses.

Canvas is ideal for all types of WordPress sites and is often used to build apps based on LearnDash, BuddyPress, PeepSo and BuddyBoss – as well as other directory, marketplace, eLearning, and social plugins. As long as it works well on mobile, Canvas can make it into an app!

News is for professional WordPress-based digital publishers and high traffic blogs. News isn’t just an app builder for content sites – it’s a complete mobile platform that has been designed specifically to grow revenue, loyalty and engagement. With News you’ll have apps as good as an international publishing brand, access to premium ad networks to monetize, and features designed to boost audience engagement and retention. For an example of how News apps can work, check out Simple Flying.

\nWhat is the process for building apps with MobiLoud?\n\n

The process starts with a consultation with one of our team. Then after signing up you’ll configure the app’s settings through the plugin. Our team will then build the apps, and in a week or so the apps will be ready for you to review on your own devices. When you are happy with the app features and performance, we prepare production binary files and submit and publish your apps on the App Store and Google Play. After a successful launch, we handle all the ongoing updates and maintenance on the apps, saving you thousands per year in developer fees.

\nWhat if my app is rejected by Apple?\n\n

Although Apple’s criteria can seem strict, there is a very low chance that they will reject your apps. We have gone through the process more than 1000 times, and guarantee a successful submission. If they send the apps back for whatever reason, we work with them to make the necessary changes and keep working on it until they are live.

\nDo I need to know any coding or technical skills?\n\n

You do not need to be a developer to build great apps with our platform, but some familiarity with web technologies is advantageous. You’ll need to configure some settings and add visual assets in our dashboard, and set up the features you want to use in the apps. As the apps reflect your existing WordPress site though – you’ve done all the hard work already. Our team handles the more technical details of the app build for you, including the ongoing maintenance and updates. If you do have web developers on the team, you can use our code editor to style elements of the apps with custom CSS!

\nHow do push notifications work?\n\n

MobiLoud integrates with OneSignal, the best push provider on the market. You’ll be able to send unlimited push notifications right from your WordPress back-end, and configure them to go out automatically for new posts or send them manually whenever you see fit.

You can also use OneSignal’s excellent documentation, dashboard and APIs to set up advanced push notification configurations – for example, to create onboarding flows or updating customers when their order status has changed.

\nHow much time and effort will it take to manage the apps?\n\n

One of the great things about MobiLoud apps is that you need to put very little of your time into managing the apps. That’s because the apps will update automatically with any changes you make on your WordPress site, automatically – so there’s nothing to add to your team’s workflow. If you want to send push notifications or change the configuration of some aspect of the app, you can do so through the plugin and see your app immediately update with the changes.

On the other hand, mobile apps do need to be maintained regularly. New phones come out, and Apple and Google also release frequent updates to their platforms. Keeping up with this is essential, and costs thousands of dollars per year in developer fees for many businesses. With MobiLoud, you’re covered. We handle all the necessary updates and maintenance work as part of the ongoing monthly or annual fees you pay.

\nHow much does it cost to build mobile apps with MobiLoud?\n\n

We have different plans depending on the platform you want to use, and the scale of your app project. Learn more about our pricing here.

\nWhy do I have to pay a monthly fee?\n\n

In short, there are two reasons why you pay a recurring fee. The first is to pay for the license that gives you access to our platform, the second is to get our technical support and maintenance service for updates and improvements (new app versions) that make sure your app works as it should on the latest iOS and Android versions, with security updates and other required SDK updates applied as needed. We provide a more engaged, hands on level of service than any other WordPress app builder platform.

\nCan I modify the app’s code?\n\n

Yes you can. Our code editor allows you to inject custom CSS into the app to style most of its elements. We occasionally offer a source code license to modify the app’s native platform code, but this is rarely needed for customizations. Get in touch with us at support@mobiloud.com to know more.

\nHow do I know which is right for me – News or Canvas?\n\n

If you’re a publisher, News is likely for you. For anything else – Canvas likely has you covered. To find out for sure book a free demo with one of our team
