What features does a Convertify app include?

Updated

A Convertify app is a native Android or iOS build of your existing website, and the features listed on convertify.app are push notifications, pull-to-refresh, file downloads and uploads, database support, app linking and sharing, and media playback. These are the capabilities you can expect in the delivered app; whether each one works in your case depends on what your website already does and how it is built.

How these features map to real use

Push notifications

This is the feature most teams care about for retention. Because Convertify uses OneSignal, you get unlimited sends, deep linking (a notification can open a specific page rather than just the home screen), and targeted notifications to a subset of users. If your site already has a notification or messaging concept, this is the piece that carries it into the app.

Pull to refresh

A swipe-down gesture reloads the current page. The same layout can double as a loading indicator, which matters if your site has slow-loading views.

Downloads & uploads

If your website lets users download files or submit files, that behavior is enabled in the app. This is the difference between a read-only wrapper and an app users can actually work in.

Database support

The source lists MySQL, Oracle 12c, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, DB2, and SAP HANA. In practice this means the app can talk to the same data layer your website uses, so content stays in sync rather than being duplicated.

App linking & sharing

The app can open other applications and hand off to a web browser. Useful when part of your flow lives outside your site — payments, maps, or third-party tools.

Media playback

Video and audio recording and playback are supported. If your site is media-heavy, this is the feature to verify first, since playback quality depends on your source files and hosting.

What to check before you commit

  • Your site must be the source of truth. Convertify converts a submitted URL; features like uploads, database reads, and media only work if your website already supports them.
  • Push notifications need OneSignal. The source names OneSignal.com specifically, so plan around that provider.
  • Delivery is fast but not instant. The source says apps are developed and delivered to your inbox in less than 24 hours.
  • Platform choice affects the file you get. Android produces an APK for the Play Store; iOS produces an IPA for the App Store. Both platforms together are a separate option.

Pricing context

The source lists one-time prices: Android only $99, iOS only $99, and Android & iOS together $149. These are one-time figures as stated on the site — check the pricing page for the current terms before purchasing.

Bottom line

Convertify covers the operational basics — notifications, refresh, file transfer, database connectivity, linking, and media — in a single conversion from your URL. If your website already does these things, the app should carry them over. If a feature is central to your product and your site does not support it today, the conversion will not add it for you.
