Progressive Web Apps

Progressive Web Apps

The Noloco team are excited to introduce one of the most highly-anticipated updates to Noloco – the ability to turn your Noloco app into a Progressive Web Apps (PWA).

PWA functionality is now available across all Noloco plans, making it easier than ever to use and share your Noloco apps.

Understanding Progressive Web Apps

Progressive Web Apps blend the best of web and mobile app worlds, offering a high-quality, app-like experience directly from your web browser. They can be added to your device’s home screen directly from your Noloco app, providing instant access to your app with just a tap.

Features and Benefits

  • Instant PWA Functionality:
    Enabling PWA for your Noloco app is seamless. Just enabled it from the PWA settings in your app. Your app users can then install it directly from their browsers, when they open your app, making it accessible from their home screens.

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility:
    Whether your users are on iOS, Android, Windows, or MacOS, they can now download and engage with your app as if it were a native application, ensuring a uniform experience across all devices.

  • Native Push Notifications:
    Keep your app users engaged with native push notifications. Whether it’s for comments, mentions, or any custom Noloco notifications, this feature ensures that your users stay informed and engaged with your app, wherever they are.

Available to Everyone

We believe in democratizing technology and powerful app building features, which is why this feature is available to all our customers, on any Noloco plan. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, your Noloco app can now enjoy the cutting-edge benefits of PWA technology.

Why This Matters

With PWAs, you’re not just offering an app; you’re providing a seamless, integrated experience that meets your users where they are. The ability to instantly download your app to a device, combined with the native push notifications, not only improves user engagement but also significantly boosts the overall user experience, particularly for users on iPads, or when using your Noloco app on the go.

We're excited to see your amazing mobile apps over the next few months. Stay tuned for more updates and features as we continue to improve Noloco.
