Turn Web App into a Native iPhone or Android App

Modern websites or progressive web apps (PWAs) are excellent solutions, requiring no downloads and running smoothly in native browsers. I usually advocate against building native apps for Apple or Android unless necessary features can't be implemented in a PWA or web app. Many users, especially younger generations, prefer not to type URLs or save websites as bookmarks. In this context, downloadable apps improve engagement. However, building completely native apps can be resource-intensive, and web-view-based apps offer a great compromise. Benefits include:


  1. Faster, cheaper development
  2. Consistent user experience
  3. Easy maintenance

Adhere to platform-specific guidelines and requirements to launch ShowNotes web-view apps on Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. This ensures a valuable user experience and respects user privacy. Web-view-based apps balance native apps and web-based solutions, making them suitable for businesses and developers.



Some third-party services will create this web-view wrapper app for anywhere from $99 to 500, and some will even deal with Apple and Google App stores for you at an additional cost. In short, a realistic budget for a web-view app for a basic PWA app would be anywhere from $500-$1500.00.
