Community · BuddyPress · GamiPress
Your BuddyPress community, in an app with your name on it.
WP Mobile App Manager turns your BuddyPress or BuddyBoss site into a native iOS and Android app: feed, groups, forums, members and profiles. Add GamiPress for points, badges and ranks. You publish it under your own name in the App Store and Google Play.
Free to install and preview. You pay when you publish.

What you get as the admin
A setup wizard.
Choose Community app, pick your screens and Home cards, set your colors, then scan a QR code to see it on your phone.
Your rules for joining.
The app is for members only. Members join on your website, or you let them sign up in the app too.
Home screen cards.
Profile completion, latest posts, your groups, people to meet and followed discussions. Set titles and limits in WordPress.
Report and block.
Member safety tools are built into the app screens.
Points you control.
Points, ranks, achievements and rewards are set in GamiPress. Change an award and the app follows. Every voucher redemption is logged in WordPress.
Support chat.
With Chat Manager, pick the admins who answer members, set the name and avatar members see, and read chat history in WordPress.
Your community stays on your site.
Members, groups, posts and replies are served from your WordPress site. Nothing is copied or synced: a post made in the app appears on the site, and the other way around.

Questions
Does it work with BuddyBoss?
Yes. It works with BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform. Forums need bbPress on BuddyPress, or the BuddyBoss forums component.
Is chat included?
No. Chat is the Chat Manager add-on, $149 then $29 a year. Members message each other one on one and can reach your admin team in a support chat.
Do I need GamiPress?
No. Points, badges and ranks are an add-on. Without GamiPress the app works as it is.
Suite or Add-On?
Choose the Community Suite when your community is the app’s main content. It includes publishing. Choose the BuddyPress Add-On to add the community to an app that already publishes with another suite, such as a directory app.
Do members need a new account?
No. The app is for members, and they sign in with the account they use on your site. You decide if new members can also join in the app.
Does the app update when my site changes?
Yes. The app reads your site, so posts, groups and members show up without a new release.
Can I see my app before I pay?
Yes. The free Previewer app shows your community on your own phone.
Whose name is on the app?
Yours. It is published to your own Apple and Google developer accounts.
