Frequently asked questions

See the list below for our most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed here, then feel free to contact us.

What is Web to APK?

Web to APK is the process of converting a website into an Android app package (.APK) — the file format used to install apps on Android devices. Instead of building an app from scratch, tools like Appilix take your existing website URL and package it into a fully installable Android app, ready for the Play Store or direct distribution.

How do I turn a website into an app?

Simply enter your website URL, customize your app with your logo, splash screen, and colors, then hit build. No coding or technical skills required. You can test it on a real device before publishing to Google Play or the App Store.

Can I convert my website to app for free?

Yes, Appilix offers a 15-day free trial where you get full access to all features — including submitting your app to the Play Store or App Store. After the trial ends, the app will still open but prompt users to upgrade.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes, Appilix offers a 15-day free trial with full access to all features and integration modules — no credit card required. It's the best way to explore everything Appilix has to offer before choosing a plan.

Can I publish my app with the free plan?

Yes, you can publish your app to the Play Store or App Store during the free trial. However, since the free plan is intended for testing, after 15 days the app will display an upgrade prompt to users. Once you upgrade to a paid plan, the same app will continue working without any interruption.

Can I convert my WordPress website into an app?

Absolutely. Appilix works with any website regardless of how it was built — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, or any custom platform. If your site has a URL, Appilix can turn it into a mobile app.

Can I convert my website to an iOS app?

Yes, and you don't need a Mac or Apple device to do it. Appilix builds the iOS app on its own servers and uploads it directly to App Store Connect on your behalf.

Do I need a developer account to publish my app on Google Play or App Store?

Yes, you must have your own active developer account to publish your app — a Google Play Developer account for Android and an Apple Developer account for iOS. Appilix builds the app for you, but the publishing happens under your own account so you retain full ownership.

Do the prices include app publishing to Play Store and App Store?

It depends on your plan. With the Standard plan, you can publish the app yourself using your own developer account. With the Premium plan, our team sets up your store listing page and handles the full submission process using your developer account.

Will my app stay up to date with my site?

Yes, always. Since Appilix loads your live website inside the app, any update you make to your website — content, design, or features — is instantly reflected in the app with zero extra work.

Does my app content update automatically when I update my website?

Yes, always. Since Appilix loads your live website inside the app, any changes you make to your website — content, design, or features — are instantly reflected in the app without any extra steps.

Can my app access the device camera, microphone, and location?

Yes, if your website already supports camera, microphone, or location access in the browser, Appilix can enable these natively in your app. Simply turn on the relevant permissions from your app dashboard and they will work seamlessly for your users.

Can I add custom CSS and JavaScript to my app?

Yes. Any custom CSS or JavaScript you add will be injected and applied specifically when your website loads inside the app. This lets you customize the look and behavior of your site within the app without affecting your live website for regular browser visitors.

Can I change the bottom navigation or navigation drawer items without rebuilding the app?

Yes. Appilix supports a JavaScript Bridge that allows you to execute JavaScript from your website at runtime to update native app features like bottom navigation and navigation drawer items — no app rebuild or resubmission required.

Does my app work offline?

Since Appilix displays your live website inside the app, an internet connection is required for the app to load content. If your website is down or the user is offline, the app will not be able to display content.

Is this just a wrapper?

Appilix does more than wrap your website. On top of displaying your site in a mobile app, it adds powerful native features like push notifications, bottom navigation, navigation drawer, AdMob ads, biometric authentication, and more. You can even control which parts of your website appear in the app using custom CSS and JavaScript.

Are there any limitations on push notifications?

No limitations at all. Since Appilix uses Firebase for push notifications, you can send unlimited push notifications to unlimited users at no extra cost. Firebase handles the delivery reliably regardless of your user base size.

Can I send push notifications to a specific or targeted user?

Yes. You can send targeted push notifications to specific users directly from your Appilix app dashboard. We also provide a Push Notification API so you can automate and trigger targeted notifications from your own website or backend.

Which types of AdMob ads are supported?

Appilix currently supports two types of AdMob ads — Banner Ads, which are displayed at the bottom of the app, and Interstitial Ads, which appear as full-screen ads at natural transition points in the app. More ad formats are planned for future updates.

Is this a one-time payment or a monthly subscription?

All Appilix subscription plans are one-time payments with no recurring charges. Some optional add-on services like the App Publishing Service are paid per use and will be required again when pushing future updates to the Play Store or App Store.

Are there any hidden fees or extra charges?

No hidden fees at all. You only pay extra if you choose optional add-on services such as the App Publishing Service, 12-Tester Service, or Full App Setup Service — all of which are entirely optional purchases.

Do I get future updates and new features included in my plan?

Yes, absolutely. Every subscription plan includes all future features and updates at no additional cost. Whatever new features Appilix releases, you get them automatically as part of your existing plan.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. All subscription plan purchases are eligible for a full refund within 7 days of purchase — no questions asked. Simply email [email protected] with your order ID. If add-on services (App Publishing or App Tester) have already been started by our team following your explicit request, the standalone price of those services will be deducted from the refund.
