What is the best Shopify mobile app builder?

When it comes to selecting a mobile app builder for your Shopify store, there are a few key areas to look out for.

1. Reviews - don’t just look at the number, look at the quality. Read what the customers are saying. Do they have businesses similar to yours? Do they often work with businesses in your country? Do the reviews seem real or could they be faked?

2. Customer service - most mobile app builders state they’ll make you more sales, but little talk about their customer service. If you need help, you need to know you’ll get an answer quickly and effectively. Checking their reviews and watching their video will give you a good understanding of how much they prioritise customer service and what you can expect when dealing with them.

3. Price - all plans aren’t created equally. Most mobile app builders have paywalls, meaning you might need to pay extra for key features. Look for paywall-free mobile app builders or check what the added costs might total up to before committing.
