Build, publish, and scale iOS/Android apps entirely without code. Here’s what you need to know.

:fire: The Big News

On June 10, 2025, Bubble opened its native mobile apps beta to everyone—no waitlist. This is not a wrapper or web-view solution. It compiles to true native iOS/Android code via React Native, with full App Store/Play Store publishing support.

Key Features Breaking Boundaries

1. Unified Development Workflow

  • Single backend for web + mobile apps (shared databases, workflows, APIs).
  • Visual drag-and-drop editor with pre-built Ionic components for mobile UIs
  • No rebuilding logic across platforms.

2. Native Performance Features

  • Camera, GPS, push notifications, gestures, and OS-aligned UI components (e.g., iOS-style pickers).
  • BubbleGo for Android: Test builds instantly on-device.

3. One-Click Publishing

  • Automated build generation & submission to Apple App Store and Google Play.
  • Includes compliance guidance (app store rules, privacy policies).

Real-World Use Cases (Already Live!)

Several early adopters have launched functional native apps using Bubble’s new beta, including:

  • :soccer_ball: Sports Training Apps (e.g., tracking drills, performance insights)
  • :airplane: Travel Booking and Itinerary Tools
  • :medical_symbol: Medical Record Managers
  • :video_game: Word Puzzle & Language Games

This confirms the platform’s ability to support serious, production-ready mobile apps.

Pricing: Free Beta → Paid Plans

  • FREE until October 1, 2025 (even on existing plans!).
  • After October:
    • Mobile-only: $42/month (1 app, 5k users)
    • Web + Mobile: $71/month (1 project, both platforms)

Why higher cost? Native builds, store support, and infrastructure scale.

Limitations & Beta Gaps

  • Not auto-converted: Mobile UIs must be rebuilt (web designs don’t transfer).
  • Missing features: Dropdowns, complex gestures (roadmap priority).
  • Learning curve: New mobile-specific design patterns to master.

Why This Matters

This closes the last major gap in no-code: building scalable, store-ready mobile apps that leverage device hardware. Bubble’s now a true full-stack platform.

What’s Next?

  • Q3 2025: In-app purchases, mobile plugin editor, AI component generator, deeper OS integrations.
  • Pro Tips for Early Builders:
    • Prioritize Android testing (BubbleGo speeds iteration).
    • Use conditional workflows to handle OS-specific behaviors
    • Join Bubble’s forum for beta bug reports — influences development priorities
