Push notifications

Push notifications

Enhance user engagement, drive traffic and boost click-through rates. We could go on forever if we should tell you about all the amazing benefits you get with push notifications. But we have limited space here, so instead we will tell you that:

With push notifications your app will be one of your most valuable communication channels, and it is by far the most popular app feature you can choose.

You can use push notifications to inform the user about news, current topics and deadlines. If push notifications are used the right way, they can help you increase user retention, drive more sales and lower your advertising cost.

Biometric login

If you have a login on your website, it probably requires username and password. But app users are used to logging in using Touch ID or Face ID.

With this biometric login integration, your app users only need to enter their username and password in the app one time - after that they can login using Touch and Face ID.

QR scanner

QR and barcode scanner

Maybe you need your app to scan QR codes or barcodes? You can do that using the camera in the phone.

QR codes are particularly popular combined with physical marketing material, but can also be used internally within the company.

Barcodes are often used in a warehouse when products or locations need to be scanned.

NFC scanner

With the NFC scanner feature, your app can read many of the most common types of NFC tags. As an example, you can use NFC to verify the app user's location.

Please note that the NFC scanner cannot stand alone. You need to have NFC tags in order to use the scanner.

NFC is popular in warehouses, where the tags are connected to different products or areas, and you interact in different ways with the tags using the scanner in your app.

File sharing

Sharing documents, links etc.

Do your users need to share documents, links, etc. with other apps on their phone, or should the app be able to forward these documents?

Maybe it’s a link to an article or a PDF document that the user would like to share in a text message or via other communication channels on their phone.

Geofence

Using GPS coordinates, you can draw a virtual fence around a geographic area. That is called geofence.

When an app user enters or leaves the defined area, it can trigger the app to perform a specific action. For example, a location-based push notification, time tracking, show specific content or offers, etc.

Geofence
In-App Purchase

In-App Purchase

With In-App Purchase, you can offer purchases directly through your app once a user has downloaded it. This means, among other thing, that your users can download the app for free. Then afterwards, if needed, they can unlock premium features or additional purchases within the app through In-App Purchases.

Calendar

With our calendar feature, you can integrate with the app user's calendar. This means you can synchronise appointments between your app and the user's calendar. Do you plan events or offer some sort of booking through your app? Then this feature is just the thing for you. Combined with push notifications, you can easily keep your users updated on appointments and events.

White label

White label

With our white label app feature, your app can dynamically change its icon when a user from a specific brand signs in.

The white label feature is for you, if you want your app to support multiple brands or just want the ultimate customization of your app.

Smartbanner

A smartbanner is a smart little banner that automatically appears on your website and encourages your visitors to download your app.

When a user visits your website from their phone, the banner pops up at the top of the page and makes it easy to jump straight to the app download. If the user already has the app installed, the banner can open the app instead.

The smartbanner is an effective way to convert your web visitors into app users – without being intrusive.

Introflow

Introflow

If you want success with your app, it's critical to help the user get off to a smooth start the first time they open the app. Here, you can use an introflow to welcome the user and provide the most important information.

It's also the perfect opportunity to get the user to accept push notifications right from the start.

We have a standard introflow that you can easily use, but you also have the option to customise it so it perfectly matches what your users need.

Vibration

With vibration, your app can provide haptic feedback right in the user's hand. A small vibration can confirm an action, draw attention to an error, or emphasise an important event in the app.

Haptic feedback is something app users know and expect, and it gives your app an extra layer of polished, professional user experience that a regular website simply can't deliver.

Vibration
Offline-mode

Offline support

Many apps depend on being able to retrieve data from a server, and nowadays there is almost always an internet connection no matter where you are.

But perhaps you need your app to function even without an internet connection? This can be relevant in a warehouse, a basement, or other places with poor coverage.

With offline support, you ensure that your users can still use the most important parts of the app – even when they're offline.

Media

Do you need audio input or output in your app? Then our media feature is exactly what you need.

With media, your app can record audio through the microphone or play audio back to the user. This opens up everything from voice messages and audio recordings to playback of podcasts, music, and audio guides directly in the app.
