Do I need to rewrite my app in Flutter or native code?

No, not for this. Capacitor wraps your existing web app as-is. A native or Flutter rewrite is a separate, bigger project — worth discussing only if you outgrow what wrapping can do.

Will it feel like a "real" app to users?

Yes, when done properly — native navigation, push notifications, and offline handling are what separate a good Capacitor wrap from an obvious website-in-a-box.

How long does App Store and Play Store review take?

Typically 24–48 hours for Apple, hours to a few days for Google on established accounts. We prepare submissions to minimize rejection risk — see our App Store rejection guide for the common failure patterns.

What if my web app isn't built with Lovable or Bolt?

Doesn't matter — any reasonably standard web app (React, Vue, plain JS) can be wrapped the same way, regardless of what built it originally.

Web to mobile

Turn Your Web App Into a Real iOS & Android App

If your Lovable, Bolt, or Replit app is a web app today, it can become a real app on the App Store and Play Store without a rewrite — wrapped with Capacitor, packaged with proper store assets, and submitted through review.

What's actually going wrong

The specific symptoms we see most often.

Users keep asking for "the app"

A web app that works well in a mobile browser still isn't what most users mean when they ask if you have an app — they mean the App Store or Play Store.

No native distribution or push notifications

A pure web app can't send push notifications, appear in store search, or get the install-icon-on-homescreen behavior a real app has.

Not sure if a rewrite is required

Most founders assume "real app" means starting over in Flutter or native code. It usually doesn't, if the web app is solid.

Don't know the store submission process

Screenshots, privacy declarations, review notes, and the specific things Apple and Google reject apps for — all unfamiliar territory the first time.

Why this happens

Capacitor (and similar tools) wrap an existing web app in a native shell, giving it a real app icon, native APIs like push notifications and camera access, and a genuine listing on both stores — without rewriting your frontend. It's the practical middle ground between "just a website" and a full native or Flutter rebuild.

The gap isn't usually your app's code — it's the mobile-specific work nobody's done yet: touch-friendly UI adjustments, native permissions, store assets, and getting through App Store and Play Store review cleanly the first time.

What we do about it

Wrap your app with Capacitor

Your existing frontend, packaged as a real native shell for both iOS and Android.

Add the native pieces a web app can't do

Push notifications, native navigation gestures, and permission flows configured properly per platform.

Prepare store assets and listings

Icons, screenshots at every required size, and store descriptions written to pass review, not just look good.

Submit and handle review

We submit to both stores and handle reviewer questions or rejections directly — this is store-submission work we do regularly.

From $2,500 (Build tier)

Scope depends on how mobile-ready your web app already is. A Code Audit ($199) first tells you exactly what needs adjusting before wrapping.

Typically 2–4 weeks including store review time
