How does the Branded Mobile App work and what are its key benefits?
The Branded Mobile App allows you to offer a custom-branded iOS and Android experience to your audience. This means your members can access your courses, community, and messages directly through an app featuring your icon, colors, and content. It centralizes your offerings into one seamless mobile experience.
Key benefits include enhanced member engagement through personalized content and accessibility anywhere. The ability to send push notifications for announcements and mentions is crucial for retaining attention and driving activity within your Hoop community.
What is the setup process and how quickly can I launch my custom app?
The setup involves branding the app within the Hoop platform, selecting your custom icon, color system, and splash screen. Hoop provides guided app-store submission and handles the subsequent updates to simplify the technical process for you. This is a white-labeled solution designed for efficiency.
While the exact time depends on the app store review process, which is outside of the platform's control, the internal branding and packaging are streamlined. You should plan for several weeks from final sign-off to full availability on both major app stores.
