Web app to Mobile App

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to bubble, having been using it for around a year now. I have a fitness app, and have been using the bdk to test it out as a mobile app. However, I have recently seen that bubble has added the option to create a mobile app. Is it there a way to easily convert my web app into the mobile app?

I have a web app that has a mobile app - using BDK. I’ve been playing around with the mobile app as a side project just so I could evaluate the capabilities better.

A couple of things I’ve noted:

  • I think when refined, the bubble mobile app will give a much more native feel that a wrapped app. It will be very slick.
  • There’s a “web view” functionality on the mobile app that I believe would allow you to include your already built mobile pages… but I personally would look to rebuild things to take advantage of some of the native behaviors and a better UX.
  • I think there’s still more to go on the mobile features before I’d trust it for a super complex app.
  • I think that if you make changes to the mobile app pages you have to resubmit to google/apple - because BDK is a wrapped app if you make changes, they’ll just reflect. I think maybe if you use the web view you can get around this, but I’m not sure.

Personally, I’d throw up a test app and take a couple of hours to try building a super simple mobile app to get a feel for it and evaluate for yourself whether you want to try and move in that direction yet.
