Wix Mobile Apps: Getting Started with Building Your Own App

<div data-component-type="text"><div>Building a native mobile app with Wix gives you access to premium features which lets you design and manage your mobile app directly through your Wix account. Having your own app, with no Wix branding, allows you to give the most personalized experience for your app users. For example, if you own a small bakery, you can design your app to reflect your brand, share daily specials, take orders, and send push notifications about new products or events. This helps keep your customers engaged and encourages repeat business.</div><div><br /></div><div>Start by adding a few basic details, then preview your app with a QR code. Then, you can edit your design anytime from your desktop or the Wix app. Once your app is ready, submit it to the App Store and Google Play. After it gets approved, your app will go live in the stores.</div></div><div data-component-type="informative"><div class="info-container" info-color="orange"><div class="info-title">Mobile App Premium plan:</div><div class="info-content"><div>Building and customizing your app is free.
