6 Handy Tools That Can Convert Your Website Into An App

Convert Your Website Into An App

A website, new or old must always have its own mobile version especially if it wants to rank well in search engines. Studies have proven that mobile internet users have already overtaken desktop or computer internet users; that means you can go a long way when you convert your website into an app.

Because let’s face it, as an Android or iOS user, viewing and opening websites in Chrome for mobile or any other browser can be annoying. There’s the fact that browsers usually take more screen space and also consume much memory. An app version of that website, meanwhile, has a more seamless transition and smoother operation.

Hence, to convert your website into an app is a courtesy to most people. It’s the absolute next step into embracing the “mobilegeddon,” the first being the requirement for websites to have mobile versions. In any case, here are some plugins and tools that can easily convert your website into an app.

If you want a website to app converter that just works and has a free version, then AndroApp is there for you. It’s a simple and easy converter; it also comes with some handy customizations such as unlimited scrolling, unlimited push notifications, and offline support. As the name implies, it’s only available for Android.

MobiLoud

For a website app that looks like it was straight up made as a native mobile app, MobiLoud has you covered. At least, that’s what the developers promise for when you avail of their tool. It’s not free, by the way, and will set you back $199/month for the basic (essential) package. There is a free demo, of course, if you find that too pricey and want to test first.

For the price, you get one of the most uniquely customizable and feature-rich website-to-app converters on this list. It has the standard fare of offerings like offline support, push notifs, and social media sharing integration but also lets you customize how articles appear down to the layout and also comes with a smooth image gallery and video player.

WPMobile.App

A feature rich plugin with a premium version but won’t break the bank would be WPMobile.App as stark contrast to the more expensive premium options above. WPMobile.App lets you make a mobile app version of your website that comes with all the features of a full desktop website. The developers also promise a smooth operation on any screen size whether it’s for Android or iOS.

The plugin comes with a free or test version but if you want all the bells and whistles, you’re going to need to fork out a minimum of €79 for one operating system. As a special feature for websites converted by WPMobile.App, you’re given a 12-stat panel or graph that tracks the important aspects of your website app.

Do remember that most of these plugins and tools pretty much perform the same task with little variations. Others simply give you better elegant options. As always, it’s up to you to pick which one best suits your needs or wants for your website.
