Sutability of mobile application using Bubble

Hello, Experts!!

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

I am a no-code newbie who learned about no-code for the first time and started studying it last week!

First of all, I am starting to study with Bubble and I have a question.

I want to create a mobile app.

It just says I can create and service a web app with Bubble.

Everyone says it is possible using a wrapper, but it is not clear to what extent it is possible.

> Q. I’m curious about what mobile apps are made with Bubble.

> Q. And I’m curious if it’s possible to create the features I want to implement as a mobile app with Bubble.

> 1. Block the use of other apps
I would like to add a function to set the time in my app and block the use of other apps such as YouTube. Is this possible?

> 2. Alarm function
Is it possible to implement a function that causes an alarm to sound at a set time when the mobile phone is not in use?

First of all, my project team members and I are studying Bubble because we heard that Bubble is used a lot, so I just asked about Bubble.

The mobile service that provides the above functions will be the main one.
> Q. I’m wondering if it would be appropriate to implement it with a bubble, and if not, is there a no-code tool you would recommend?

If you tell me as much as you can, I will do my best to study.

Thanks for reading my question with poor English.

you can make your bubble web-app ready for being converted to a real app but the wrapping you mentioned is where a lot of mobile functions would get added. You can make your app single page on bubble and use URL parameters for page navigation. You can also use responsive page design so it looks good on all screen sizes.That will help get the UX right for mobile.

You should have no trouble blocking links to whatever sites you want though its not coming to mind right now how that would be done. Getting into the guts of the users phone and getting an alarm to come on when its inactive is imo probably only going to possible once you’re in the google play store and get that native app access to their device but the wrapping service can put the functionality in.

No.

Probably not.

For complex functionalities like this, https://flutterflow.io/ is a better bet.

That said, Bubble is releasing mobile native probably at the start of 2025. I don’t think it’ll include the functionalities you need for a while. I won’t be using it to build products specifically for mobile, but rather to build companion apps for existing web apps for this reason.

Thank you for your advice. I’d better study about flutterflow or change my project goal.

Do you know if it is possible to solve my problems by flutterflow?

Thank you. I appreciate that my team can consider a new option by blocking links.

You mean it is possible to make an alarm by wrapping service without native app access? Can you tell me more details about this?

No I meant they’d be doing it because it is outside bubbles capacity. A web app doesn’t have that kind of access to a user’s phone. Until the updates George mentioned you’d be relying on the same people wrapping your app to add that in so it can do it when it is a native app. Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you for checking the content again. I’m really grateful for your help.

Now I think I can definitely decide on a new direction where my project will go.

my understanding is that running the app in the background or block other apps is not something that you can do with flutterflow alone. you need to download the source project, add files and dependencies manually, build the background logic with code and finally build the app yourself.

Thank you.

I’m interested in flutterflow but I’m still lack of knoledge of it.

So it’s difficult to understand about source project downloading, dependencies adding and building background logic.

I want to study about this. Can you tell me more about the process or recommand a study route about that?

what I mean is that even with flutterflow to add the kind of features you need you have to use code, using flutter in this specific case.
a google search about this topic should produce a list of tutorials.

I understand it. I will study hard with thinking about the advice you gave me.

Thank you so much.
