Do you use an APP to help members come directly to your Xenforo forum?

[ZeroG]

I love how Xenforo works on my iphone, no issues. So I never considered looking into how to create an app where it would let users download the app to their phone and just click it to access the forums. That would be easier than opening Safari or Chrome and typing in the forum name.

Do any of you use apps for this purpose if so how did you create it or did you hire someone to create it for you?
Thanks

Did you fill out the settings when you scroll down?

Icon URL most likely needs to be set with an icon image.

Once PWA is working, you might want to create a package and publish it to the app stores for more exposure:

Can you publish a PWA link to the app stores?

I'm also keen to know if/how this would be possible, if anybody is able to help? My website is coming up to 25 years next March, and getting an app in the app store (and on google play) would be a great way to celebrate!

Creating the app is very easy.
Just enter your website URL at PWA Builder and it will create the package for you.
If it needs extra infromation, it wil guide you thuogh the process.

Next step is to create a Google Developer account (or other app store) and upload the package.

No programming skills are needed.
