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!
