Description
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 https://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.

- share your app content to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and email
- show the feed of your Facebook page in the app (optional)
- allows commenting and reading comments in your native app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices

As the previous reviewers noted, support is virtually non-existent. What they failed to mention is that this company is a total scam that will overcharge you (even after you cancel your subscription). I was overcharged on my first payment, and support finally apologized and said it would issue a partial refund, but instead the company initiated another charge to my credit card. The company continued to overcharge me for the service I had withdrawn from my order, and then started charging me that amount twice per month! When I noticed the overcharges and additional charges I pestered support and finally received a response confirming that my account was canceled, after which the company not only continued to charge me but actually charged me even more — I was charged three times in October 2018, each time an amount that was too high (i.e., including a service that I had removed in my initial order). The company (NEBELHORN GMBH) is in Europe, so I have no legal recourse other than to inform my credit card provider that the charges are fraudulent. Hopefully nobody makes the same mistake I did…

No support via email, Facebook etc, no reply, doubt this exists anymore which is a shame as it could have been great

Use caution with this app. I made the purchase and immediately received an error on the payment screen, though the money was pulled from my account.
I attempted to make contact and waited three days for a response, only to receive a “reset password” email. Knowing it wouldn’t help, I went ahead and did so, but it did not change anything.
I have no way of knowing what is happening with the apps. I’ve received no word about their status and no response to my attempts to make contact. I have since asked for a refund and still have not received a response.
I cancelled my service because it did not work with my website and they were not willing to fix it. 2 years later they sending invoices despite sending them several emails and they do not respond to any of the emails

Ich habe vor kurzem die erste App mit diesem Plugin realisiert und bin vom Ergebnis, vom Support und von der Roadmap für die Zukunft begeistert. Das geht genau in die richtige Richtung. Es wird bestimmt nicht die letzte App gewesen sein, die mit Blappsta realisiert wird…
Sandhimself, where you’ve seen that it’s free? In wordpress plugin, when you finish adjusting, I ask the app apk, and I redirected to the website of blappsta where once registered ask me to choose a plan from 9,90 euros / month … Free ????
