Since 2013, we've been creating native apps directly from your existing site, keeping all your design, custom features, apps, and integrations perfectly in sync. No extra work or maintenance required. We handle the entire app-building process, so you can focus on growing your business.

Our Mission

Building a mobile app shouldn’t require running a second storefront.

That’s what most brands end up doing. Shopify app builders rebuild the storefront inside their platform, with a separate CMS, separate merchandising, parallel integration work, and a revenue share of 1.75% to 3% on every order. Custom native development takes six to twelve months, ships with gaps where the website’s integrations don’t have a mobile SDK on the vendor side, and needs an in-house mobile team to keep running. Either way, the team is now maintaining two systems that have to stay in sync.

We built MobiLoud as a third option.

The existing website powers the app. A native layer sits on top for push notifications, persistent login, deep linking, home-screen presence, and app store distribution. Every site update flows to the app automatically. Anything the customer’s web team can build for the site (app-only pages, mobile-first flows, gated content, app-exclusive promotions) ships to the app the same way. The result is a custom mobile app, built on the same stack the brand already runs on the web, without the cost or maintenance burden of native code.

Since 2013 we’ve served more than 2,000 brands on this model. Global retailers and luxury houses (Bestseller, John Varvatos, Tadashi Shoji, Estee Lauder, Haleon). Independent ecommerce brands on Shopify. B2B distributors with gated catalogs and approval workflows. The brands that work with us long-term often grow the app to 20 to 30% of their total online revenue, and they tend to stay for years.

We essentially operate as the customer’s app team. Build, QA, store submissions, OS updates, third-party integration changes, push strategy, ongoing native fixes. The customer’s team keeps building the website. We handle everything on the app side. You’re not left alone after launch.

We’re not a fit for everyone. If your customers buy once (furniture, big-ticket one-offs) the app math doesn't work, and we’ll tell you. And if you don’t have an established website and a loyal audience yet, the app isn’t where to start, the website is.

But if you have a website that customers come back to, you have an app waiting to be launched. I’d love to show you what it could look like.

Core Values: How We Build

We believe there’s a better way to build mobile apps, one that builds on the website you already have and delivers a solid mobile experience without starting over.
1
Leverage, Don't Rebuild
Your website is the ideal base for your mobile app, containing all your custom features and content. We enhance this platform, ensuring seamless integration and no duplicated efforts.
2
Native Where It Matters
A great app doesn't need to be entirely native to feel native. We focus on key native elements like navigation and notifications to enhance user experience, avoiding the costs and delays of full native builds.
3
Simplicity Wins
We prioritize simplicity, ensuring software is intuitive and workflows are streamlined. Our approach eliminates unnecessary complexity, allowing your team to focus on growth and customer engagement.
4
Service Over DIY
Building an app is an ongoing process, not just a purchase. We partner with you, unlike DIY builders, managing submissions, maintenance, and updates, so you stay compliant with Apple and Google.
We guarantee your app's success
Our team doesn't just build your app - we partner with you to make it successful, from launch through ongoing optimization and growth.

Can we customize the app UI or behavior?

FAQ open/close button.

Yes. You have plenty of control without needing native development. You can create app-only pages, hide or show elements using user agent detection, adjust layouts with our CSS injection tools, and configure native features like tab menus, back button rules, and haptic feedback. This lets you tailor the in app experience where it matters, while still keeping the simplicity of maintaining one codebase. It’s flexible enough for brands that want high control, but simple enough for teams that want to avoid engineering overhead.

Will it generate enough value to justify the cost?

FAQ open/close button.

Yes, the value comes from increasing repeat purchase behavior. Apps live on the customer’s home screen and push notifications reach them instantly, which drives more frequent sessions and better retention than email or SMS alone. Brands see higher conversion from returning customers, better LTV, and more reliable re-engagement. Because you’re not spending six figures on custom app development, the gains aren’t swallowed by build costs. The economics work for mid sized stores all the way up to enterprise retailers.

Will this drain internal resources?

FAQ open/close button.

No. The app does not create new work for your team. You don’t maintain a second codebase, rewrite features for mobile, or manage app updates. There is no app-specific content to create and no parallel QA cycle.

Your team keeps improving the website as usual. The app mirrors those changes automatically, while we handle all builds, updates, submissions, and technical maintenance.

In practice, this removes almost all ongoing effort. Brands often describe it as “having an app without having to run an app.”

Will the app feel like a real native shopping experience?

FAQ open/close button.

Yes. Shoppers judge apps by smoothness, intuitive navigation and speed to purchase, not by the underlying technology. We add native tab bars, navigation headers, animations and loading states so the app feels like a dedicated storefront. Your product pages, cart, checkout and merchandising stay exactly as you’ve designed them for mobile, which guarantees a consistent shopping experience. Customers recognize it as your brand’s official app and interact with it as such.

Will my customers actually download and use the app?

FAQ open/close button.

This is a common and important question. Simply launching an app doesn’t guarantee downloads, but a strategic launch makes all the difference. Success isn’t about hope; it’s about integrating the app into your customer journey. We guide you through a proven process to make your app a natural next step for your audience.

With the right promotion—like smart app banners on your website and exclusive in-app offers—our clients typically see 15-30% of their website visitors convert into app users. These aren’t just casual browsers; they are often your most loyal customers. They are actively choosing a more dedicated channel to engage with your brand, which is the first step toward higher lifetime value.

Will it work with my website and current tech stack?

FAQ open/close button.

Yes, it will. Our platform is designed to work as a seamless extension of your existing website. There’s no need to rebuild, re-platform, or untangle your current tech stack. Whether you’re on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom-built platform, MobiLoud mirrors your site’s functionality perfectly.

This means all the features you’ve invested in—from product reviews and loyalty programs to your specific checkout process and third-party integrations—will work in the app from day one. There are no API limitations or frustrating compromises. Your team continues to manage the website as they always have, and the app inherits all of its capabilities automatically.

Does it work with Shopify?

FAQ open/close button.

Yes, MobiLoud works perfectly with Shopify and Shopify Plus. Your app will sync completely with your Shopify store, including all your products, collections, and third-party app integrations. Your checkout, analytics, and customer accounts all work seamlessly. It’s the most effective way to turn your Shopify store into a premium native app. You can learn more on our Shopify page.

Do we have to manage and update the app ourselves?

FAQ open/close button.

Not at all. MobiLoud is a fully managed service, which means we handle all the technical aspects of the app for you. Your team’s focus remains on what they do best: running your website and your business. We act as your dedicated app team.

Our service covers the entire lifecycle of the app. This includes the initial configuration and design, the entire app store submission and approval process, and all ongoing maintenance and updates. Whenever you make a change to your website—whether it’s adding a new product or updating a collection—the app updates instantly and automatically. You get all the benefits of a mobile app without any of the operational overhead.

What if we already have an app? Will we lose users switching?

FAQ open/close button.

Switching to MobiLoud is a smooth process that preserves your existing user base. We publish your new app as an update to your current app listing on the App Store and Google Play. This ensures that your existing users will automatically receive the new version without having to download a separate app.

This transition is also an excellent opportunity to re-engage your audience. We’ll work with you to develop a relaunch campaign, using push notifications and other promotions to announce the new and improved app experience. You get to keep your valuable app store presence and user installs, all while upgrading to a more powerful, easier-to-maintain solution.

How do we make sure customers keep using the app long-term?

FAQ open/close button.

Long-term engagement is built on providing consistent value. The key is to use the app’s unique features, especially push notifications, in a way that is helpful, not noisy. It’s about sending the right message to the right person at the right time.

Our team will help you implement a proven push notification strategy from day one. This includes setting up automated flows for critical moments, such as welcoming new users or reminding them of abandoned carts. The most successful brands use their app to offer exclusive content, early access to sales, and app-only discounts. By making the app the best place to get special treatment, you give users a compelling reason to keep it on their home screen and keep coming back.
