Your Community App, Without Compromise

ZippApp for BuddyPress is not a theme. It doesn’t try to squeeze your community onto a mobile app. It doesn’t compromise.

ZippApp for BuddyPress translates your community into a fully featured, native app. Every aspect of your community is optimised for the mobile experience. Every element tuned to work as a true native app.

Tabs: Located in the lower section of the screen, tabs are a ubiquitous feature of native apps, allowing your members to quickly navigate to key sections of your community.
Side Menu: Used to navigate both members and visitors to key sections of your community. As with all BuddyPress Native App interfaces, side menus are fully customisable.
Cards: An intuitive way to present activity posts, editorial content and more. Cards are designed to showcase user generated content and encourage members to interact

Mobile Optimised Design

Your community members expect the best. And the best means a community optimised for the mobile app environment.

ZippApp for BuddyPress optimises your community for the mobile experience. Each interface element is designed to offer a refined, intuitive user experience.

It’s your community, focused for iOS and Android devices.

The smallest details

It’s the little details that count. Like how native OS and Android app menus align differently. Or the way switches and lists are laid out.

ZippApp for BuddyPress supports both Android and iOS specific gestures and interface elements, giving your community members what they deserve; a complete community experience that compliments their handset.

It’s a bespoke service, designed to support any additional requirements your community app may need. From supporting custom plugins to displaying unique designs. No matter how big or small your needs, our team of experts ensure you get to the iOS and Android app stores.
