Converting a WordPress site to a mobile app can give you the following benefits.

1) A more comfortable and engaging mobile UX

In the early 2000s, when WordPress first appeared on the scene, blogs and websites were pretty new and revolutionary things for the average person.

Things change quickly. WordPress themes now work fine for mobile browsers.

Most major brands have invested heavily in mobile apps, mainly because they offer a better mobile user experience.

The icon on the user’s home screen is a constant reminder: One tap and they’re in, everything loads at lightning speed, and native navigation makes navigating the app a breeze.

Compared to the bulkier experience on the mobile web, the app experience is superior.

That’s why WordPress app users tend to be more engaged and loyal than their web counterparts.

2) WordPress app = more loyalty and engagement

App users tend to be hyper loyal and engaged with respect to the web. This is for two main reasons. The first is that apps self-select for your most loyal fans. Downloading the app is above all an act of loyalty.

Second, once they’re in the WordPress apps, you have more opportunities to further delve into that loyalty with superior user experience and communication via push notifications.

3) Push notifications on iOS and Android

Push notifications are the best way to communicate with your fans and customers.

Native push notifications have a 5x higher engagement rate than emails with no coverage restrictions.

All My FastAPP apps can configure push notifications.

You can use push notifications for all kinds of purposes depending on your business. Here are some examples:

• Digital publishers can alert users of new articles and breaking news they may be interested
• ECommerce stores can inform customers about new offers and promotions, send app-only coupons, and keep customers updated on shipping and delivery
• ELearning sites can remind and encourage students to study.

Only by converting a WordPress site into a mobile app can you take advantage of push notifications.

For many of our customers, they are the primary reason for building WordPress apps with our platform.

Our apps integrate with OneSignal, the best push platform on the market.

So, if you create a WordPress mobile app with My FastAPP, you can send unlimited push notifications to iOS and Android devices, directly from WordPress.

4) A presence in the App Store

The mere presence on the App Store is an advantage. Brands with apps on the App Store and Google Play seem more established and serious about user experience, which can make a big impression on potential customers, partners, and investors.

An App Store presence can also be an acquisition channel. Many people look for solutions to their problems there, just like they use Google on the web.

If you optimize your keywords, you can collect new users directly in your app!
