Today we will be reviewing the plugin WordApp which converts WordPress sites into a mobile app.
So, at the WordApp offices, they claim that you can convert any WordPress site into a mobile app. We took the challenge and yes you really can convert your site very quickly into a mobile app, here is how.

After adding WordApp we’ll fast forward to creating our mobile app using the content from our WordPress site.
Once activated you will be presented a 3-step install process. You will be a asked to:
Once you have finished your app, simply navigate to the Publish App tab and enter your email address, followed by clicking the “Publish my app” button. You will then receive your app via email within 4 hours as quoted by WordApp. We got our app in about than 10 minutes :).
The core features include:
Send push notifications. Engage better with your app users thanks to a small message that you can send to anyone who has downloaded your app. Very powerful for any blog or small business. Imagine you have 1000 downloads, every time you update your blog you can send a quick SMS to all your users. Cool!
OK, it may not make you a millionaire but thanks to the WordApp integration with AdMob you can monetize your mobile app. With banners and popup adverts you can get paid by google for including their banners on your app.
There are many more features that we can’t list here.
