Question 1

What does this platform do?

Accepted Answer

You enter a URL and we build an installable Android app (APK) for you on our servers. It opens your website, but it is a real native app: its own launcher icon, splash screen, native push notifications, and native location and camera support.

Question 2

How is it different from a browser wrapper?

Accepted Answer

It is not a plain webview shell. Every app is generated as an independent Android project and compiled: native splash screen, native watermark layer, native push receiving through FCM, native location permission handling and crash reporting - all implemented natively.

Question 3

How long does a build take?

Accepted Answer

Usually 1 to 5 minutes. The first build on this platform has already downloaded the Android build dependencies, so later builds are noticeably faster.

Question 4

Can several builds run at the same time?

Accepted Answer

No. Builds run strictly one at a time, because a single Android compile peaks at around 2GB of memory. This is exactly why the priority queue benefit is valuable.

Question 5

Any rules for the app name and package name?

Accepted Answer

App name: 1 to 30 characters. Package name: a globally unique reverse-domain string such as com.yourcompany.yourapp, at least two segments, starting with a lowercase letter.

Question 6

How do I use the splash image?

Accepted Answer

Tick "Splash image" under Package benefits on the home page (Basic package or above), then an upload field appears. Pick a portrait image (1080x1920 recommended, PNG/JPG, up to 4MB). It is shown full screen while the app starts and fades out once the page is ready.

Question 7

Does camera capture need a permission?

Accepted Answer

No. We deliberately do not declare the camera permission in the app - taking a photo is delegated to the system camera app, so no permission dialog ever appears and there is no "denied once, must enable it in settings" trap.

Question 8

How does location work, and why HTTPS?

Accepted Answer

Location requires the Pro package. Once enabled, the app allows the page to call navigator.geolocation and shows the system permission dialog on first use. Important: your site must be served over HTTPS - browsers (including the in-app WebView) refuse to provide location on plain HTTP pages. That is a browser security rule, not an app limitation.

Question 9

How do push notifications work?

Accepted Answer

Push requires the Pro package plus your own Firebase configuration: Firebase Console, Project settings, your Android app, download google-services.json, then upload it after ticking "Push notifications". The package name inside that file must match the package name you entered here, otherwise the installed app will never receive notifications. After that you can send notifications from the Firebase Console to all devices or to specific devices.

Question 10

Why do some phones not receive push?

Accepted Answer

Push relies on Google Mobile Services (GMS). Devices without GMS, or where the user disabled Google services, will not receive notifications. Devices outside those regions are unaffected.

Question 11

What are App Links?

Accepted Answer

They make links to your domain open the app directly instead of the browser. You need to host an assetlinks.json file on your own domain; the build result page gives you copy-ready content.

Question 12

What is the offline page for?

Accepted Answer

When the device is offline it shows a friendly page instead of the default browser error, and reloads automatically once the connection is back.

Question 13

Can I remove the watermark?

Accepted Answer

APKs built by a free account carry a platform watermark at the bottom; once the free trial ends, it turns into a red banner with white text covering about 1/5 of the screen. Buying any paid package removes it permanently.

Question 14

What are credits?

Accepted Answer

Credits are build tickets. One standard build costs 1 credit. New accounts get 5 credits for free — up to 5 builds, valid for 5 days from sign-up.

Question 15

Can the generated app be published to Google Play?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if three things are in place: 1) upload an AAB — every build produces both an APK and an AAB, and the AAB is the one for Play; 2) the target API must be current — the platform already targets API 36, meeting Google's requirement from 31 Aug 2026; 3) use your own signing key — the Pro package can generate a dedicated key for this app and lets you export the .jks on the build result page, or you can enrol in Play App Signing. One caveat: Google applies a minimum-functionality policy to plain website wrappers, so keep the native features (push, location, camera) and your own content. The final decision is always Google's.

Question 16

What is the difference between the packages?

Accepted Answer

Free trial: 5 days and 5 builds with every feature except the priority queue (splash image, camera, location, push); the APK carries a watermark that turns into a red banner when the trial ends. Basic $9 (5 credits): no watermark plus splash image. Standard $29 (20 credits): adds priority queue and camera capture. Pro $79 (60 credits): adds location and push notifications.

Question 17

Are the benefits permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Benefits are derived from your paid orders: once you buy a package, its features stay unlocked forever. They do not expire when credits run out, and you never pay again per build.

Question 18

How many credits does one build cost?

Accepted Answer

Always 1 credit. Splash image, camera, location, push and the priority queue are all package benefits, so ticking them never costs extra credits.

Question 19

What exactly is the priority queue?

Accepted Answer

It is a Standard package and above benefit. Builds without it wait 30 seconds before starting (so that priority is noticeable even when the server is idle), while priority builds jump to the front immediately. Note that the queue cannot preempt a build that is already compiling - priority means "as soon as the worker is free".

Question 20

Am I charged if a build fails?

Accepted Answer

No. Credits are refunded automatically when a build fails, marked as "Refund (build failed)" in your credit history.

Question 21

Can I use the generated app commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The app is entirely yours - distribute it, publish it, sell it. We add no ads, no analytics and no backdoors.

Question 22

Which payment methods are supported?

Accepted Answer

Credit cards through our hosted checkout. Credits are added automatically right after payment, usually within seconds.

Question 23

I paid but my credits did not arrive.

Accepted Answer

Refresh your account page first. If they still do not show up, send us the order number using the feedback button at the bottom right and we will sort it out. Payment callbacks occasionally arrive late due to network issues, normally within a few minutes.

Question 24

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Credits are a virtual good, so credits already used for builds are not refundable. If you paid but used nothing at all, or you were charged twice, or a system fault occurred, contact us within 7 days with the order number and we will refund after verification.

Question 25

How long is the download link valid?

Accepted Answer

24 hours. After that, open your account page or the build history to generate a fresh link. The APK file itself is kept on our servers for 24 hours and is cleaned up within the following hour (about 25 hours in total), so download it promptly.

Question 26

Can I get an invoice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send us the order number and your billing details through the feedback button and we will issue one.

Question 27

How do I contact you?

Accepted Answer

Use the floating button at the bottom right of any page. We receive an email alert and reply to the address you leave as soon as possible.

Question 28

Will my URL be made public?

Accepted Answer

No. Build records are only visible to you on your account page. We never publish or share the URLs you submit.
