Are you looking for a way to convert your WordPress site into a mobile app?

Apps are a convenient way to control the delivery of your content and offer a better mobile experience. With an app, you can increase engagement and reach a whole new audience through app stores.

In this article, we will share some of the best plugins to convert a WordPress site into a mobile app.

Best Plugins to Convert WordPress Site into Mobile App

Why Create a Mobile App for Your WordPress Site?

If you check your website traffic in Google Analytics, then you will see that a large number of users are accessing your website from their mobile phones.

The easiest way to ensure mobile users have a good experience on your website is by making it mobile responsive.

A mobile responsive WordPress website uses a design that automatically adjusts itself to match the user’s screen size. Almost all good WordPress themes are mobile responsive out of the box. You can even find great-looking mobile responsive themes for WooCommerce.

However, some businesses may want to offer an even better user experience by creating their mobile apps.

Instead of visiting your website in a browser, users can launch an app from their home screen to access their favorite blog, online store, membership website, or online community.

Mobile App Preview

Building a mobile app typically requires programming skills, and there are plenty of development agencies that will build a mobile app for your website. However, it would cost you a lot of money ($15,000 and upwards).

If you want to build a mobile app on a budget, then there are a few WordPress plugins that can help you convert your WordPress site into a mobile app. They are paid solutions, but they cost way less than hiring someone to build a new app for you.

Remember that using these plugins still requires intermediate to advanced WordPress skills. If you are an absolute beginner, we recommend using a mobile responsive theme and improving your WordPress speed to gain more mobile users.

That being said, here are the best plugins to convert your WordPress site into a mobile app.

1. AppPresser

AppPresser

AppPresser is an easy-to-use platform that helps you convert any WordPress site into a mobile app.

They have a dedicated WordPress mobile theme that can be used to create an app for your blog, WooCommerce store, or BuddyPress website.

It has a visual app customizer to change your app’s appearance easily, just like you would for a WordPress theme. You can customize colors, add custom pages, pull WordPress content, and more.

AppPresser offers integrated push notifications, which are fairly easy to set up and manage.

2. MobiLoud

MobiLoud

MobiLoud allows website owners to convert their WordPress sites into mobile apps. They have two products: one for news or blog sites and another for websites using WooCommerce or other sophisticated plugins.

The plugin includes push notifications, mobile advertising support, analytics, and custom branding. The app is configured and prepared and can also be submitted to app stores for you.

3. Androapp

AndroApp

AndroApp is another useful plugin to convert your WordPress website into a mobile app. It comes with offline support, multiple themes, internationalization support, unlimited push notifications, infinite scroll, and native social sharing. It does not support WooCommerce or BuddyPress.

The plugin developer will help you configure and download your app, which you can then submit to the Play Store yourself or hire a plugin author to do it for you.

The big downside of this plugin is that the free version allows the developer to show their ads.

4. WPMobile.App

WPMobileApp

WPMobile.App allows you to create a mobile app from your WordPress website. You can purchase a single lifetime license to build your app. All app setup and configuration can be done inside your WordPress admin area.

It gives you easy tools to upload your app icons, buttons, colors, translations, and more. It supports Google Analytics, built-in caching, offline content, and compatibility with all popular WordPress plugins.

Additionally, the plugin also has unlimited push notifications, social sharing options, and more.

Which Is the Best Plugin to Convert a WordPress Site Into a Mobile App?

If you are serious about converting your WordPress site into an app, then we recommend using AppPresser or Mobiloud.

Both of these plugins are easy to set up and can help you submit your mobile app to popular app stores. Doing this will also increase your reach and bring more traffic to your WordPress site.
