If one of your favorite websites doesn’t have an app, you can fix that. Thanks to the WebApp application, you can essentially turn websites into apps for your phone.
This is not the first app we’ve seen that does this, but it is one of the best ones we’ve stumbled upon. So, how does this work? Well, it’s actually extremely simple, anyone can do it with ease.
WebApp application can turn any website into an app
All you have to do is open the WebApp, tap the ‘Create app’ button in the top-right corner, paste the URL of a website you’d like to create an app for, and confirm. There you go.
You’ll get an icon for that website that you can use either from WebApp, or from your homescreen. You can even clone apps, in case you need two separate logins for some services.
Why would you want to create a web app to begin with? Well, to get a better user experience, basically. This way you don’t have to go to your browser, open up a website, and then deal with the address bar, etc.
You’ll get a more streamlined experience, and possibly even a more fluid one
Once you tap an icon for a specific web app, it’ll behave more or less like a regular app on your phone. In fact, I’ve noticed better performance here for some websites, than when I open them via a browser.
You can use this app to create apps for websites that already have apps, of course. In fact, you can create apps for just about any website you want. It’s quite convenient, and allows you to be properly organized.
WebApp application uses the latest in progressive web app (PWA) tech, so the experience should be really smooth across the board. If you’d like to try the app out, the download link is included below.
