TLDR: Visit PWA2APK to convert PWA to APK file instantaneously. ( Almost there, you can convert PWA to Full-screen app experience at the end, read on)Īnd it seems like turning your Progressive web app(PWA) to Android app is one solution to overcome the issues mentioned above. The real App feels: Even with an Add to home button there is an address bar displayed in PWA’s and this effects real app feel whereas an android app delivers a complete app feature. If this is how the things are moving and people don’t want to click on the ‘ Add to Home button’, the actual purpose of PWA’s would die. An Add to homebutton is disliked by most of the internet users( Many even haven’t clicked on it to see what it does, that’s no way user behavior is since the inception of the internet). ‘Add to Home’ Button is not charming always: Now you’ll be like- “What! Thought it was the best part”. Whereas in the case of PWAs people are aware that it’s just another website and security can be easily compromised. Google Play Protect helps us to keep the local device safe by running a security check just before the user installs the app. Trust Issues: The one reason for people to prefer apps from PlayStore is that they trust apps from PlayStore. Because recent studies say that people use PlayStore/ AppStore for search queries just as how they use Google search. This has turned out to be lack of discoverability. PWA’s currently can only be discovered in Google Search. Lack of presence in PlayStore/ AppStore: PWA’s cannot be uploaded to PlayStore/ AppStore( Till now, read on this article to learn how you can upload successfully to store). Additionally, the way PWA loads guarantees 100% uptime in load scenarios. You are allowing your users to access your eCommerce store(or website), even when they are offline which in turn helps to increase customer retention and sales. ( You can easily spot difference while loading up PWA site and non-PWA site: Read this for PWA examples) Moreover, a PWA works 2–3X times faster than a standard site. PWA is a wise choice if you want your website to work offline. Before we dive in let’s look into some advantages and disadvantages of PWA in the present scenario.
