Blappsta Mobile App Plugin – Your native, mobile iPhone App and Android App Plugin

You are searching for an easy way to create an app out of your WordPress blog? Then Blappsta is a great tool to convert your WordPress site into a native mobile app for iOS and Android in only a few minutes – including iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets! Blappsta does not require any skills and no coding and even though you can individualize your app to your own needs. We even upload the App for you, so your readers can download your Android app and Apple app right from the App Stores.

Turn your WordPress blog into a native app for iOS and Android

**You can build your individual Android and Apple app using your favorite colors and your own logo. First of all, please install our free Blappsta WordPress app plugin and then you can change your native app just the way you want it to look. Instantly test it using our Blappsta Preview app for iOS and Android from the Apple App Store or Google Play™ Store. You can test it as long as you want. If you like it, go to http://www.blappsta.com and we will take care of publishing your very own app to the Apple and Google Play Store. Your readers can download your app from there and read your articles on their iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone. If you want to learn more about Blappsta, please check out our website.

Increase the number of loyal readers of your blog with Push Notification in your own native app for Apple and Android

Notify your blog readers with our free push notification service build into the plugin. This service will increase your number of readers largely, as they will receive notifications on their iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone whenever you have to share something with them. You can decide when and what you want to push. The notifications pops up on the Apple or Android devices and are also highlighted in the app itself. We really want to make sure that your readers will never miss a story of you again!

Have your native app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices indexed by Google

As Google takes care of mobile friendliness as a ranking factor we have added an awesome feature to our Blappsta apps: You can get your app indexed by Google with deeplinks right into your native app! This will help to boost your ranking and to gain more app installs and find new readers. At the moment this works for Android apps, but in the future iOS apps will also be indexed.
