No, our website builder is optimized for websites based on content, so a login or database functionality is tricky (but you can integrate any code by HTML or iFrame, like Airtable.com or any other service). By the way, apprat.io works with existing websites, too – so you can easily convert your existing website/web app into iOS & Android apps.

There you go: Documentation

Your website content (within the app) will always be in sync within your iOS & Android apps :-) No app update is required. This dynamic behavior makes our system the perfect tool for frequently changing information (e.g., the daily menu of a restaurant) or changing functionalities.

Yes. You can either export your app as a standalone export for uploading to iOS and Android or book our full app publishing service where we take care of everything in consultation with you. A developer account from Apple and/or Google is required.

Apps can be completed within minutes to hours after signing up to apprat.io. The submission to Apple and/or Google may take about another seven days, depending on the review times. The prerequisite for this time estimation is that a developer account from Apple and/or Google has already been set up.

Of course not, our website templates and plugins are at your fingertips. The drag & drop mechanism is simple, time-saving and fun.

All exported/downloaded (.zip download) websites will still work locally after canceling your apprat.io account or deleting the project from your apprat.io dashboard. However, all iOS apps, Android apps, and all websites remotely hosted via apprat.io will no longer work. You can restore functionality if you reactivate your account (this can be done in a brief period of time after cancellation by contacting support).

Yes.

It's currently not possible to sign up for the apprat.io platform without a credit card or PayPal. For reasons of identity verification for publishing web apps and apps, a credit card (or a PayPal account) is required, even if we do not charge it. Cancel anytime during the free trial phase, and we will not charge you a single penny. Moreover, we never store your payment details, only our payment gateway providers know them.

Otherwise, we will chat with you about the best-customized option for your needs.
