Yes! App stores require that apps be designed for mobile use and that they provide features that offer more than a mobile website.

You can add native navigation menus, push notifications from OneSignal and other push providers, and incorporate our premium native plugins to add functionality ranging from biometric authentication to In-App Purchases and much more. You'll also benefit from the Native WebApps build platform which has been supported and maintained since early 2014. As iOS and Android changes are released you can rebuild your app using the Native WebApps App Builder to maintain compatibility while avoiding the overhead that comes from maintaining your own code base.

We are continually impressed by the quality and functionality of apps created by our customers using Native Web Apps.
