What is a WebView app — and how remote control works

How a WebView works

WebView is a component built into both Android and iOS. It renders a web page inside the app, so a screen can be built with web technology instead of native code.

For the user it looks like any other screen of the app. For you it means the content is loaded from a link, and changing the link or the page changes what users see.

What you can control from the portal

With the WebView edition, the settings live in a management portal instead of inside the app build:

• Turn the displayed content on or off for each app
• Change the target link
• Change the logo, background and splash screen
• Watch app opens and devices in real time

Why there is no store review to wait for

Store review applies to new builds. Portal settings are read by the app while it runs, so a change in the portal reaches users' devices right away — the build on the store stays the same.

When a WebView edition makes sense

Pick it when the content changes often, when you want one place to manage several apps, or when you want to see real usage numbers before deciding what to change next.
