Publish Your Softr App to Google Play & Apple App Store
Softr lets you build client portals, membership sites, and internal tools on top of Airtable and Google Sheets — quickly and without code. But Softr apps are web-based, meaning they run in a browser and cannot be submitted to Google Play or the Apple App Store without a native conversion. We wrap your Softr app into a real native mobile app and handle the complete store submission for you.

Why Can't Softr Apps Go on App Stores Directly?
This is the most common question Softr users run into. You've built a great app — now you want it on Google Play or the Apple App Store so users can find and download it like any other app. But when you look for a "publish to store" button inside Softr, it doesn't exist.
Softr is a favourite for building membership portals, directories, and client-facing tools. Many Softr users want these tools available as downloadable apps on their clients' phones — not just a browser link. A native app is easier to access, can send push notifications for new content or updates, and feels more professional than asking clients to bookmark a URL. Nokib03 converts your Softr app URL into a fully native Android and iOS app, complete with push notifications, offline support, and a professional listing on both stores.

How We Publish Your Softr App — Step by Step
The process is straightforward. You share your Softr App URL, we handle everything technical, and your app goes live on both stores. Here is exactly what happens:
You share your Softr App URL & details
Send us your Softr App link, your app name, icon, splash screen, and any specific requirements. We review everything and confirm scope before starting.
We wrap your PWA into a native Android & iOS build
We build a native wrapper around your Softr App, configure push notifications (OneSignal), geolocation, camera access, offline support, and all native features. We generate an AAB/APK for Android and an IPA for iOS.
We prepare all store assets
App store listings require specific screenshots, icons (multiple sizes), feature graphics, descriptions, and keywords. We prepare everything to meet Google Play and Apple's exact specifications.
We submit to Google Play & Apple App Store
We submit your app using your developer accounts (or help you create them). We write the store listing copy, select the correct category, configure privacy settings, and handle the full review process.
Your app goes live — and stays updated automatically
Once approved, your app is live and downloadable. Any changes you make in Softr automatically appear in the published app — no resubmission needed for content updates.
What's Included in Every Build
Every Softr App we publish is built with a full suite of native features — not a basic wrapper. Here's what comes standard:
Push Notifications
Full OneSignal integration. Send unlimited push notifications to all your users directly from the OneSignal dashboard.
Geolocation & Maps
Native GPS access for location-based features and map functionality inside your app.
Camera & File Uploads
Full camera access, microphone, gallery uploads, and file picker — all working natively on both platforms.
Offline Support
A native offline screen with a "Try again" button when users lose connection, instead of a blank browser error.
Fast Loading
Optimised loading with a native splash screen and loading spinner for a smooth, professional app experience.
Instant Softr Updates
Your Softr App updates are reflected immediately in the native app. No store resubmission needed for content changes.
White-label Branding
Custom splash screen, app icon, and store listing fully branded to your business — no Nokib03 branding anywhere.
