I have opencart Version 3.0.3.6 installed for my store,, I'm looking to get a mobile application (IOS and Android) for the store. what I have installed in the website are as following:
1- Theme : journal theme.
2- Registration by phone no.(email field is hidden) ; verification code will be sent to the customer, once entered, registration completes.
3 -login via phone no. at quick checkout.(email field is hidden)
4 -registration via phone no. at quick checkout , verification will be done also as above.
5 -phone no. fields in all the above modules are format enforced ( example: customer can enter phone no. only like 009647........).
based on the above,, I need your recommendation what is the best option to get a mobile app for my store?
For sure the app has to have the features such as Push Notifications , Deal of the day , Options and filters, My account , My orders ...etc.
Thank you.

Correct,, I've read the rules prior to posting,, I've just defined my store installations,, I'm looking for help what is the best option/ platform to get a mobile app?\

You would have to build it and deploy it.
Why not just let it run from the web
If you must have that app I hope you have very deep pockets
Contrary to the above, a few do exist. If you can't find any in the marketplace, search Google and some will come up. I can't tell you which ones are good though as we haven't used them.Mustafamarket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 2:30 amI'm looking for help what is the best option/ platform to get a mobile app?\

The issue it that people don't like using browsers to access the site; also, few issues i'm facing with the browsers such as it is causing them to logout , so customers need to login again, I assume such issue will be solved in the app.mikeinterserv wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 3:32 amThere isn't one

Its working fine with its built-in web browser. But i'm getting customers feedback that they don't prefer to go to a browser but instead install an app, also some minor issues of the browsers that I need to get it sorted out.

Thank you; the login by the phone number, fields format an other stuff are working fine through web/browser. The mobile app need to have those features also.thekrotek wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 6:21 pmYou don't really need an app to achieve all this. Login by the phone number, fields format an other stuff can be easily implemented into OpenCart by modifications. As for push notifications, you can replace them with SMS or WhatsApp messages, for example. Mobile app will always be limited comparing to the web version let alone it will be much harder to update it with new features unless you invest in development yourself.
And yes, get rid of the Journal 3, this is the worst choice you could've made.
I'm always getting customers preference that an app is better than going to the a browser.
For the Journal theme,, When we installed it, we searched a bit and seemed it is a good option at that time. but after your comment I have to reconsider and search again , any recommendations for an alternative?
Ok noted, thanks.straightlight wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 11:55 pmMustafamarket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 11:43 pmAny guide/ recommendation for the Progressive Web App?For such request, you could always create a new service request in the Commercial Support section of the forum to get this done as a custom job.Mustafamarket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 11:46 pmIts working fine with its built-in web browser.

You could always find a professional web developer to build a so-called progressive web app, though it won't make much of a difference in the end result. It would be just another user interface layer, with no added functionality.Mustafamarket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 11:42 pmThe issue it that people don't like using browsers to access the site; also, few issues i'm facing with the browsers such as it is causing them to logout , so customers need to login again, I assume such issue will be solved in the app.mikeinterserv wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 3:32 amThere isn't one

Doesn't mean you should get yourself an app. A generic customer can't tell the difference between Amazon and a small local webshop, so when they see that Amazon has app, they tell the local webshop owner that he also better have one. Problem is that Amazon invests hundreds of thousands (if not millions) in their app and it totally worth it. Can you afford spending hundreds of thousands bucks on mobile app? Will you be able to pay off the development costs? I'm pretty sure you won't. Then just ignore what a few whiny customers say and better spend your money on improving the mobile layout of your webshop.Mustafamarket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 11:58 pmI'm always getting customers preference that an app is better than going to the a browser.
