Progressive Web Apps

Frequently asked questions

When is a PWA better than a native app?

When the app is mostly about content, forms and data rather than advanced phone features. For those, a PWA costs much less.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, including installation and notifications, with some limits compared to Android. We tell you upfront if any affect you.

Can it be published in the app stores?

On Google Play, yes. For the App Store we recommend a React Native app if it's needed.
