Q: Trying to find the use in this.
I purchased tier 5 and later downgraded to tier 3 after noticing I still had to pay additional if I wanted the apps to be published to Apple & Google Store. The apps do not function independently. I thought converting the website into an app would take the current structure and do just that, convert it. Not me still having to go in and design it. There's a weird logo still present, even though it's supposed to be removed. Tell me how this is different from me having clients to add the website icon to their homescreen and easily access the website that way? I'm trying to understand the benefit if the app is still going to be linked to a marketplace.

Apr 11, 2025A: Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out.
Just to clarify – you don’t need to pay AppMySite anything extra to publish on Google Play and Apple App Stores. You are required to publish these apps with your own Google Play Console and App Store Connect account. There is a fee associated with this, but this is paid directly to the app stores, not AppMySite.
You have the option of buying the Upload to App Stores add-on to let our team publish the app for you – but this is an optional service, and you can always complete the process on your own without buying the add-on. If you need help, you can refer to our knowledge base (https://support.appmysite.com) or log a ticket with our support team. We’re always ready to assist customers with app submission issues.
We currently have four products –
1. WordPress - Convert WordPress websites into apps
2. WooCommerce - Convert Woo stores into apps
3. Web to app – Convert any website into an app
4. Custom app - Build an app without a website
The main value of converting your existing website into an app is visibility. Customers are more connected to apps than browsers – app session times confirm as much. The app you build on AppMySite is a native app build– which means its optimized for performance on mobile. If you want a medium with higher retention and engagement with customers, apps are a great option.
Please feel free to reach out for more questions.
