Progressive Web Apps

Quick summary

A Progressive Web App, or PWA, is an app-like experience that opens through a web browser instead of an app store. Users can visit the PWA link, add it to their home screen, and open it again like an app.

This is useful when you want to give users a simple way to access your content, business, or service without asking them to download an app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. It can also be a useful fallback if your native app is still waiting for review, delayed, or not approved by an app store.

How it works

If you are building a custom app in AppMySite, you can create a Progressive Web App from the same app experience. This gives you a browser-based version of your app that users can access through a web link.

The same content and data can be made available to your customers in both places: your native Android and iPhone apps, and your Progressive Web App. Once users open the PWA from their home screen, it can feel similar to a native app, though some behavior may still depend on their device, browser, and operating system.
