How to build your own mobile app-no code needed | Branded App by Wix

[@guskovj]

Guys, I am working in an IT company and building products daily. The functionality of this app with no code is fantastic, I am so excited. Bravo WIX 👏

[@plessman]

Looking forward to Dark Mode and customize typography, which are essential missing features.

[@esparker23]

definitely!!!! need those

[@ACarpyConnection]

£96 per month for the basic subscription package on top of the $129 for the google/ apple store branded App fees. This is way to much to pay for a small business starting out.

[@theodorevelentzas1065]

Although it’s cheaper to do it this way then get a web app developer from scratch the logistics is great. The cost for a consumer or small business NO. Your better off just using social media platforms for your marketing and simply use a short linking software to link everything to your website via your mobile.

[@sensavia]

also i hope that wix is paying attention to comments here and elsewhere, your customers are saying the cost for service on this app is too high, you need a reasonable entry level program to offer to help businesses build, then they can add more as they grow and become Wix partners for life, this is how you support businesses

[@rezzystartups]

I agree, but as an employee looking for cheaper webhosting options for our office that offer a branded app option, this is a fantastic price point. Perspectives I suppose, especially since consulting anyone to build you a branded app costs much more just to brainstorm what you need. I like that it isn't higher, because it could and would be if more businesses were vocal about how cheap this service is for already established businesses.

[@sophialuypaert-vediclife4ever]

Interesting... but way toooooo expensive! 109euro/month for the basic app

[@tifb94]

Same..too expensive for US dollars

[@shannonthomas8629]

@@tifb94 Any other way of turning a wix website into an app for less money and a great app? Or are the apple/google fees far too outrageous?

[@davidsimeoncole]

No matter what you pay for apps it’s more of you made your own. £10-30k

Was this created from scratch or it's an existing website that has been converted to the branded app??

What are the full list of fees to submit to google and the app stire?

[@thisisjaymehta]

Price is crazy high.

Omg she looks excited 😁

You guys need to cater for the taxi industry, it would be amazing if my customers could input their pickup location, drop off location and it automatically calculates it depending on what tariff is active for that time of day. There’s a lot of taxi drivers in the uk that would benefit massively from this feature.

[@Wix]

Hi there, thank you for reaching out, currently, Wix does not have a designated solution for rental services. This is a request you may vote for and get notified of updates here: bit.ly/3cVXda9. We hope to see these options in the future.

[@mulann91]

Can I send members messages according to their location with a wix app?

[@imabhishekagarwal]

very high cost. you charge 9000₹/month

[@aqantassoftware3792]

Beautiful Demo, I'm eagerly waiting for linking my app to any backend database to capture info entered in a form and stored either in an Excel Sheet or some compatible database. We currently have a CRM which requires a FrontEnd Mobile App to collect info captured by Sales team on the field, once the Sales Team hits the Submit button, we want that info to reach the Backoffice for further followup and processing. Please let us know if this is in your next product development plan. Thank you in advance.

[@Wix]

At this time we do not have an ETA for something like this, if you would like to speak to a customer care representative, you can always reach us at wix.com/contact.

Is it possible to add a smart watch version of the application created for the phone using Wix?

[@Wix]

Apps submitted to Google Play / Apple Store can appear on a smart watch but might not be fully manageable from the watch. We will be sure to forward this feedback as a request to be considered for future updates.

[@AsokaTw-mz3lr]

Hi there, are you referring to the Multi Vendor Marketplace app by Webkul? >> www.wix.com/app-market/multi-vendor-marketplace

[@luckyratnawat3755]

@@Wix Yes, my question is that will the branded app support this functionality?

[@Wix]

Unfortunately, the Branded-App does not support third-party integrations such as this.

[@pamelavillarreal]

I have a wix website already, do I have to pay extra for the app? thanks

[@Wix]

Hi Pamela. The Branded App would be a separate service to your premium plan subscription. You can design your own mobile app for free and (for Android devices) download a preview link to view it from your mobile device. However, once you're ready to register the app, you'll need to upgrade to a Branded App plan to get your app live in app stores. Please see here for more details >> support.wix.com/en/article/branded-app-purchasing-a-branded-app-plan

[@davidsimeoncole]

@@Wixbring down the price can’t you see that service will set you years ahead of the competition

[@stefanbachrodt7072]

Excellent initiative! Would the current features be able to cater towards a streaming platform such as Nflix and YT or is it mostly adapted to shop related features?

[@Wix]

Hi Stefan, currently it would not be possible to create a streaming platform like the ones you mentioned with the branded app, but we understand the value a feature like this could bring and we will be sure to forward this request as feedback for future updates.

[@Wix]

Hi Cristian, thank you for your interest, the Branded app is a mobile app version of your Wix website. To add ads like from Admob you can add an ad.txt file to your site using the steps here > wix.to/IniFsmG

How do I just copy page from my wix website onto the app? is this even possible or do you have to create from scratch?

[@Wix]

Hi Michael. Currently, there is no option to directly copy a site page to your branded app.

[@rojoy6594]

Is this connected to the wix website that we already own through a plug in so that everything is sync and updated as they engage?

[@Wix]

Hi there, thank you for your interest, the app is linked to the site dashboard. That means any changes or edits made on the dashboard are reflected in the branded app. This includes adding items to your online store, new bookings or services, or creating new blog posts. We would recommend checking out our FAQ here as well: wix.to/4lIhiVU

Ive heard that online courses and digital content is not supported, is this true? If so i guess its just for regular retail outlets ... which is a shame since most of us creators dont fit this model ... odd since this is supposed to be the cutting edge tech but based on an old system of doing business... come on Wix and Apple lets move forward !
