An app your customers install — no App Store required.
Same booking form, same feel as a native app, added to their home screen in one tap. No Apple or Google developer account, no submission queue, nothing to keep renewing.
We used to build native apps. We stopped recommending it.
A native Android/iOS app sounds like the obvious choice — until you're the one maintaining the developer accounts.
-
Forced upgrades, or your account gets closed
Every time Android or iOS changes its APIs, the app needs updating. Skip it, and Google or Apple assume it's abandoned — and can suspend the developer account entirely.
-
Two developer accounts to maintain
Apple Developer Program and Google Play Console, each with their own fees, rules and review process.
-
Review queues for every single change
Want to fix a typo or update a price? Native apps mean waiting on app store review to ship it.
A PWA (Progressive Web App) gives the same result — icon on the home screen, full-screen app feel, works offline — built from the same booking form your customers already use, with none of the above.
Three ways to get one, depending where you're starting from.
