”Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality
Your app provides a limited user experience as it is not sufficiently different from a mobile browsing experience. As such, the experience it provides is similar to the general experience of using Safari. Including iOS features such as push notifications, Core Location, and sharing do not provide a robust enough experience to be appropriate for the App Store.”
So ..... kind of defeats the point of convertify doesn’t it ?
REVIEW UPDATE:
So I heard back from the team at Convertify, and they did offer some help.
Loading the app into Xcode was straight forward, and following the video to.
If it's your first time doing this you may come across some issues, i did.
Various errors stopping the archive from completing, which I ended up finding the answers to on google. I had to change a few settings in Xcode to get the archive to complete. ( I had an "Apple Mach-0 Linker" error)
After this, only one more issue: IDFA.
App store connects asks if you are using the advertising framework, and provides a tick box, yes or no.
So I asked convertify.
After a while , convertify answered my question about the IDFA usage, and said the app does not use it.
So I clicked no and apple replied " Your app does use IDFA so you must select this in the tick box", and the upload failed.
So I clicked yes to IDFA and the app went through, it's now being reviewed by Apple.
Fingers crossed.
This has potential convertify, it really does, but it needs to be smoother with more support for errors along the way, and maybe some pointers towards changing the launch screen and app icons etc.
Your product is great for people who don't know much about Xcode or swift, so you need to support the product for these people, like me.
Anyone who does know Xcode and swift, will just build this themselves.
OLD REVIEW .............................
Made a payment to Convertify on thursday afternoon, it's now monday afternoon.
No confirmation, no email, I've attempted contact via email and on twitter.. no response.
Poor show guys, please get in contact so we can discuss, or issue a refund.
Cheers
Pros:
Seems like a nice idea.
Cons:
Rejected by the app store

I think you are just giving ripping services, web UI to app. Nothing getting converted by the portal, right?
Is anything automated or you are converting manually after the payment?
It shouldn't be listed on Product Hunt.
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Design copied from buymeacoffee.com (even the css names, seems cloned)

BEWARE! I wish i had checked the reviews for this website before trusting them to provide me with a service. You will get amazing response and promises of the World before you make payment. Once payment is made, good luck! I have opened a case with PayPal so i will get my money back; any decent company would have refunded the money when they know they have messed up and cannot provide what was promised; these guys are scammers! Lucas bullshits alot on chat, never delivers!

@pravin_vekaria do they really never answer ? Then my money is wasted as the Android and iOS apps delivered on 21.09.2020 are not functioning properly. I am mailing continuously but no response

@abhi3 belive me, just do a paypal claim if you paid via paypal, dont waste time trying to resolve it as thats what they will do, they will keep delaying you so that you miss the paypal claim window. I was lucky as i acted and logged the claim with paypal and waited to see if these guys will finally solve the issue and they didnt so i got my money back!

@pravin_vekaria Hi Pravin..actually the issue was with Google API functionality. Lucas was away so he couldn't be contacted. He responded immediately once he was active. My previous website I got converted from Fiverr and the results were not satisfactory. The App I received from Convertify is fully functional like Geolocation, Camera, and others. It's surprising as most of the people on Fiverr denied the feasibility of these functions.
@benln@francomaldonado@lucasmaldonado looking nice. Few things.
1. Does it support WordPress Multisite? Can we have a single app with primary domain and multiple subdomains?
2. Does it support Custom Post types created using Pods, Toolset or ACF plugin on Wordpress?
3. How is it better than PWA ? I don't want a PWA to be called as APP just because now it opens by clicking a logo on my mobile. It must have some native app feature. How do you see it?
4. Any plan to integrate with OneSignal which provides free push notification for Apps?
5. Are you planning for some extra features for the native app?
Thank you.
@niteshmanav
1. We can only use 1 URL, so I don't think it will support WordPress Multisite. You can however structure one main website and link another domains and it will work.
2. Convertify wraps your URL on an App. So it really doesn't matter if you are using Wordpress or other platform. Yes, it will work.
3. PWAs are the best candidates to use Convertify. Since PWAs are responsive and have a great mobile UX, your app will look just like a native app. The benefit of native apps over PWAs is that you get access to the native distribution methods (App Store and Play Store)
4. We have definitely considered it and we may launch it as a premium feature if there are enough customers who want it.
5. We are open to feedback and suggestions and we can consider extra features like Push Notifications to further develop.
Hi Franco & Lucas,
@francomaldonado@lucasmaldonado
Good luck with your Convertify journey!
Do you plan to make something like provide push notifications ?
@francomaldonado@naxer Thank you very much Serkan! I appreciate your feedback. We may add more features like push notifications on the future, I will contact you if we add them!
A paid service that just wraps your website in a WebView gets into the Top 5 of the day… when only people living under the rock are still unaware that having a shitey "hybrid" app is worse than having no app at all… smh
@paul_danyliuk There are many use cases where our project can help and we have many happy customers. Thank you for your kind words... smh
Report
@paul_danyliuk easy for you to say cuz you know what WebView is .
there are many people out there who do not have the time or expertise to deliver or do such work. Plus the price is reasonable, I used them even tho I am a software eng cuz for a cheap price they delivered both apps in timely manner and I was able to publish it on store within 1-2 days
