8 Plugins to Turn a WordPress Site into an App • TecnoBreak (2023)

Would you like to transform your WordPress location into an app? You can choose from WordPress app plugins that can help you do just that. Statistics show that smart mobile gadgets are now dominating the way we do things online.

Therefore, an intelligent mobile presence is essential today. But having only a smart mobile version of an internet portal at the moment is not enough: people are increasingly using smart mobile apps instead of websites. So now is the time to seriously think about using a WordPress plugin to make a relevant Android and/or iOS app for your website.

In this post, we will dwell on the eight best WordPress app builder plugins that provide 2 different types of apps for your WordPress place:

• Las apps nativas son lo que la mayor parte de la multitud piensa en el momento en que escucha la palabra app. Sus visitantes lo descargan por medio de la tienda de apps en sus gadgets.
• Las apps web progresivas le dejan interaccionar con un visitante en un portal de internet sin disponer su app. Los visitantes aún van a poder añadir estas apps a su interfaz de arranque y usted va a poder activar la función sin conexión y las alertas automáticas.

Before continuing with the list of plugins, it is essential to mention that even the use of remarkable plugins can only be entrusted to a professional. If your location was published by a team of WordPress programmers, it is preferable to entrust the work with plugins to experts as well.

What are the differences between a smart mobile app and a smart mobile internet portal?

Essentially, mobile smart sites are desktop editions of your site that are optimized for use on much smaller screens and touch input methods for mobile smart devices like tablets or phones. In other words, what we call receptive websites. They are accessed through an internet browser, just like you would on a desktop device, and require an internet connection.

On the other hand, smart mobile apps can provide access to the same data and content that is available on the relevant site. But where they stand out is that they can provide added occupancy even when they are not connected to the Internet. A prime example is Google Plus Maps, where the site is completely dependent on an Internet connection, while the smart mobile app lets you download maps for offline viewing, store bookmarks, and more.

Understanding the differences, let's get to know the plugins.

1. AppPresser: native apps for Android and also iOS

AppPresser is one of the most recognized WordPress app building tools. This is how it works: you create your app using the layout of the separate AppPresser app. Then, you connect your actual WordPress location to AppPresser through the REST Application Programming Interface using a free plugin on WordPress.org. This connection allows you to sync your app's data with your WP web page.

AppPresser is much more user friendly than many other plugins you will find. It has particular support for the following plugins:

• woocommerce,
• BuddyPress,
• LearnDash.

The plugin also lets you:

• Take pictures with your phone's camera and upload them to WordPress;
• Use geolocation in many cool ways;
• Send automatic alerts;
• Login to WordPress/sign up via the app.

Generally, if you want a much more tailored experience for your individuals, AppPresser is a good option.

2. AppMySite: Progressive Web Apps

AppMySite makes it very easy to make a smart mobile app from a WordPress site in just 4 simple steps. First, register an account and then edit the appearance of the app. When you're happy with how it looks, link the app to your web page via the plugin, after which you can download and upload it to Google Play and the Apple App Store.

5. WPMobile.Application: native apps or progressive web apps

WPMobile.App, previously popular as WPMobile.Ninja, is a plugin that lets you build and refine your app for free before paying to launch it across app stores.

The great thing about this add-on is its cost composition, as the license payments are one-time, giving you coverage for a lifetime instead of recurring licenses every year. The cost of getting your app on Android or iOS devices is $79, and if you want it on both, it's $149.

The low price of this plugin does not mean that it skimps on elements:

• Automatic app updates when publishing new content on your web portal;

6. WappPress: native apps for Android and also iOS

The WappPress plugin lets you make apps instantly from anywhere in WordPress. The only problem is that it only creates apps for Android gadgets, but that goes for many other plugins as well.

It is a highly productive solution since the creation of your app is free and you also get fifteen days of validity of the app on Google plus Play. Once the fifteen days expire, you can upgrade to Pro for $22, which gives the app unlimited validity and six months of developer support.

The key features of WappPress have within:

• push alerts;
• Monetization through Google plus AdMob interstitial ads;
• Android app validity of 15 days;
• The app has the ability to have a different theme and home page than the smart mobile place;
• Loadable/customizable launcher icon and boot interface;
• WappPress white label unbranded;
• Create your app in the same instant.

Content is automatically updated and synced with your website content and is also convenient for WooCommerce stores and Amazon affiliate sites.

This plugin gets a user rating of just 3.2/5.0 in the WordPress plugin directory. Don't let that stop you, though, as most of the low scores that dragged the rating down date back multiple years when the app was in its infancy.

Since then, the creator has ironed out the issues that gave rise to these low scores, and subsequent revisions are measurably better.

7. MobiLoud: WordPress App Creation Service

According to the builder, MobiLoud is “an app creation service specially built for WordPress”. It is not cheap, but the service includes:

8. Frontity: WordPress Progressive Web Apps Tailored for High-Traffic Websites

We hope that at least among the previously suggested apps it will satisfy your pretensions and hopes.
