Hi everyone,
We’re very excited to come back to Product Hunt to celebrate bringing native mobile app creation to Bubble. Product Hunt is where we had our very first launch back in 2015, so we’re thankful to this community for being a reliable place to launch great products. Extra thanks to @thisiskp_ for the hunt!
There is a growing expectation that native mobile apps are table stakes for successful business. But options are limited:you either have to hire multiple expensive development teams to maintain separate codebases or rely on AI code generators to produce prototypes that don’t scale. This creates duplicate work, siloed data, and inconsistent end-user experiences.
That’s why I’m excited to share that we’re launching Bubble’s native mobile app development platform. This beta launch extends Bubble's capabilities to iOS and Android, enabling anyone to build, launch, and scale mobile apps without coding expertise.
Bubble is the only app development platform that empowers builders to bring their exact mobile vision to life without code — and without compromising. Unlike traditional development requiring specialized teams or AI generators that generate incomplete prototypes, Bubble enables users to design, build, launch, and scale apps for web, iOS and Android.
By learning one platform that offers speed of AI generation (coming soon for mobile!), precise visual editing, a shared backend for web and mobile, and secure infrastructure that keeps up with demand, innovators can maintain complete control from 1 to 1M+ users and beyond.
We can't wait to see what you create! Drop your questions or ideas below — the team and I will be in the comments all day!

Hey PH fam! 👋
This is HUGE. I'm beyond excited to bring Bubble's native mobile launch to the community today! 🚀📱
I've been following Bubble for nearly a decade and watching them return with this milestone feels like witnessing a massive inflection point in their trajectory.
The problem they're solving hits hard:
→ Hire expensive dev teams for separate mobile + web codebases? 💸
→ Use AI generators that create 80% prototypes? 🤖
→ Deal with siloed data and inconsistent experiences? 😵💫
None of these actually work for real businesses.
What makes Bubble different:
✨ True visual programming (not templates/boilerplates)
✨ One platform → Web + iOS + Android
✨ Shared backend across all devices
✨ One-click app store deployment (which is wild!)
✨ Scales smoothly from 1 to 1M+ users
Until today, no one could build native web and native mobile apps using the same platform. That just changed, opening the door to millions of people to build apps without coding, no matter what interface they want to deploy for.
Let’s understand how big this opportunity is:
* 2M+ new apps are launched each year
* More than 6.5B smartphone users worldwide today
* Mobile apps generate ~$1T in revenue per year
After 10+ years of perfecting web app building, Emmanuel and the team didn't rush mobile. They waited until they could deliver something truly impressive ⚡
The future where anyone can build web and mobile software without choosing between speed OR control? It's here today.

It took us 1 week to build and launch a mobile app at Goodspeed. So excited for this!
Bubble
@harishsmalhi thank you!!
Bubble
@harishsmalhi We're excited that you're excited! Love to see the timeline and hope it inspires others to give native mobile a shot!
@harishsmalhi Really cool to see your first app Moment come to life! I'm expecting to see a lot more mobile project from Goodspeed in the coming months!! ⚡

Having been a beta user of Bubble for Native Mobile I've been blown away by what I was able to build, so excited to see this launch!
I managed to build and launch an iOS app for our AI conference in under a month, from the idea to having it on both App Stores. Would never have been possible without Bubble Mobile.
It's super easy to use, basically the same as the web editor, so you can get up and building quickly.
It's also worth highlighting it does not make wrapped apps - the apps are compiled down to React Native in the background so they feel like proper native apps, with smooth swipe transitions etc.
Give it a try, I think you'll be shocked by how quickly you can get something put together and running as a beta on your phone!!
Congrats Bubble team on a great product 👏
Bubble
@jamesdevonport Thanks James! We love talking about the Create With companion app and how quickly it was built. Glad the knowledge translated so easily to the mobile builder :)
@jamesdevonport One of my favorite Bubble apps from the Beta! It was soo awesome to see it irl at the CreateWith conference in London a few weeks ago 👏
Bubble
Today is such a special moment for myself and Bubble. Almost 2 years ago, we set out to create a world class native mobile development experience that also leveraged the power of the existing Bubble platform.
After seeing what our private beta testers have been able to build so far, we are proud to be opening access to allow anyone to create native mobile apps that look and feel native without code, on top of a production ready backend.
My favorite part of the experience is that we expose actual native surfaces and components - like sheets, swipe actions, and system pickers. This is isn’t a wrapper or a recreation, you are building a real native mobile app. A close second is that we manage multiple live versions of your app on the backend so you don’t need to worry about backwards compatibility when making updates to your app.
Can’t wait to see what you all publish to the app stores!!
New Responsive Editor - Bubble
@ncarroll it was a joy to get to build this with you! Can’t wait to see what users build once they get their hands on it.
Bubble
📌 From the Marketing team, we’re incredibly excited to welcome native mobile app creation accessibility for everyone - both new and longtime members of the Bubble community.
🪄 We've simplified the journey from designing → building → publishing, making it easy for users to go from idea to a live app on the App Store or Google Play; all without writing a single line of code.
🚀 We’re proud of how far this launch takes us, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Try it free and experience a seamless, all-in-one platform for building, launching, and scaling across both web and mobile!

Bubble changed my life. I'm so excited that you guys have finally launched the native app builder. I know it's early days, but I'm eager to see where this goes. Rooting for you!
Bubble
@louispereira23 Indeed early days on Mobile, but the excitement of folks like you and the knowledge that Bubble has changed the trajectory of a lot of lives keeps us pushing! Appreciate your support
Bubble
@louispereira23 Thank you :)
Bubble
@louispereira23 That truly means a lot! 💙 Hearing this kind of support from longtime builders keeps us inspired. We're a big fan of AudioPen, are you planning on rebuilding it on Bubble's mobile editor? 👀

I've been building on Bubble for years now and the one crucial thing that was missing is native app building capabilities. This launch expands on the best visual development platform out there and gives developers and creators even more opportunities to build - now for native mobile. Congrats on the launch and can't wait to start building native apps with Bubble!
Bubble
@officialtaras thank you for your support all these years!!
Bubble
Hey Product Hunt community! Really excited to bring native mobile to Bubble and to this group of builders. Can't wait to see what you all are able to spin up!
minimalist phone: creating folders
Looks so cool. If it is not top secret, how many users (rough numbers) does the tool have? :)
Bubble
@busmark_w_nika We have about 5 million users on Bubble overall, building web apps, and have invited a few thousands to the private beta till this day
minimalist phone: creating folders
@estraschnov Wow, solid numbers! How long have you been on the market? Because I reckon this was built over the years, or?
Bubble
Hey PH,
I’m super excited to see native mobile capabilities come to Bubble, something I’ve been dreaming about for years!
Now you can easily create mobile-first experiences and get your app live on the App Store or Google Play store and take advantage of native features like the camera, push notifications and more.
I had a fully native app up and running in minutes, and it felt incredibly seamless. I’m really proud of where we’ve landed, and this is just the start of what’s possible for mobile apps on Bubble!
I’ll be in the comments all day, so feel free to drop any questions or ideas as I’m excited to hear about what you are going to build 💪

I started my project earlier this year on Bubble, and I'm having a great time building it. Thanks to Bubble AI, I was able to bring it to life much faster—and more easily—than I expected. I built a full MVP on my own in a weekend. Now, I'll focus on the mobile version, which is essential for my product. Also excited about the upcoming features! :)
Bubble
@helen_minuzzi Thank you!!
Bubble
@helen_minuzzi Exciting! We've heard your story over and over -- I love the web apps, but my product/business needs mobile. The wait is over!
Bubble
@helen_minuzzi That’s incredible, love hearing stories like this! 🎉 Building an MVP in a weekend is no small feat, and we’re glad Bubble AI helped speed things up. Can’t wait to see how you bring it to mobile, and yes, lots of exciting updates on the way! 👀📱

Building native mobile apps without knowing how to code has been a challenge for non-technical folks wanting to launch these on the app store for years.
Excited that Bubble is solving that problem and bringing their powerhouse ecosystem over to the native app development world! Such an achievement to have all the capabilities to design, build, test AND launch to the app store all in one place!
Saw their mobile builder + demo first hand at the Create With Conference in London and it worked seamlessly.
Kudos to the Bubble team for launching this to the world today! 🌎 🙌
Bubble
@ashamplifies Thank you so much! We're incredibly excited to finally bring native mobile app development to Bubble. It's wonderful to hear that the demo at Create With went so well! Our team has worked incredibly hard to make sure the mobile builder experience is as seamless as possible.
We can't wait to see what amazing mobile apps you and our community will build with this new capability.
Thank you for the support! 🌟🙌
Bubble
@ashamplifies "seamless" is the greatest feedback our product and eng team could have heard today! Appreciate your note
I've had the privilege of helping grow the Bubble developer ecosystem over the past few years, and I've been amazed by what agencies, freelancers, and full-time developers have built for the web. I can't wait to see what they'll create now that Mobile is in public beta! The private beta partners who've been testing the builder have already shipped incredible apps and plugins!
Huge shoutout to the mobile team at Bubble who have been working on this for the past two years!! 🚀📱
Bubble
@theo_goldberg1 Thanks Theo!
No code, no friction — just real tools to turn ideas into live apps. Awesome to see people already using it for everything from sports to healthcare!
Bubble
@supa_l Thank you! Excited to see all the amazing things you and the community will create.
Congrats @estraschnov and the entire @Bubble team on the launch!! This is a massive milestone!
As a Bubble developer, this is the update many of us in the community have been eagerly anticipating. The challenge of maintaining separate codebases for web and mobile is a significant hurdle for founders, and this launch directly addresses that pain point.
Creating a unified platform to build, launch, and scale on web, iOS, and Android is a true game-changer. I've built several startups, and I can tell you this will unlock incredible potential for so many builders.
It's amazing to see how far the platform has come since that first launch on Product Hunt back in 2015. A huge congrats on making Bubble the ultimate no-compromise tool for innovators.
Can't wait to see what the community builds with this!
Bubble
@marinatrajkovska Thank you so much for your support over the last few years, the Bubble community (and the platform) owes you a lot!!
@estraschnov I owe you a lot! Changed my life! 🫶🏻
Bubble
@marinatrajkovska Thanks so much! 🙌 We're really proud of how far the platform has come, and totally agree, unifying web and mobile under one build process is a huge unlock for indie founders and teams. Can’t wait to see the kinds of ideas this makes possible for you and the rest of the community! 🚀
@marinatrajkovska - Your first app SafeChoice is amazing! So glad you pushed through the multiple back and forth with Apple to get it to the finish line! 💪📱

I’ve been testing the editor across several apps over the past few weeks. While the editor itself is impressive, the app performance is unacceptable.
On my Android, it takes over a minute to load and occasionally crashes the phone. On my iPhone 14 Pro, it takes about 8 seconds. These load times far exceed industry standards.
This past year you’ve been hyping up mobile and this is a beta?
Bubble
@kensavage Thanks for the feedback! We've been working intensively over the past few weeks, shipping tons of bug fixes and performance optimizations leading up to today's public beta launch.
We're continuing to prioritize improvements across the board, including performance optimization. That said, we're still calling this a beta because we know there's still work to be done.
Going from 0 to 1 on native mobile is a massive undertaking, and we want to be transparent about where we are in the journey.
The team would love to hear more details about your specific use case and any other issues you encounter as you continue testing, especially anything that would help us identify and fix performance issues.
Please reach out to us at our Support Center.
I’ve flagged to the team to be ready if you do. We're happy to help with any issues and will escalate accordingly to keep you updated on our progress!
Yep.so - From idea to launch in 5 mins.
Lucky enough to have had a front row seat watching @jamesdevonport build our conference app on Bubble's native mobile... it was so quick and works super smoothly! I could immediately jump in and start editing things in the same way I would in the web editor. Great work Bubble team!
Bubble
@jamesdevonport @nocodelife Hey Kieran, totally agree. Being able to leverage the same Bubble skills and workflows for native mobile development opens up so many possibilities. I picked it up within a few hours, it's just that intuitive 😎
Thanks for the support!
Bubble
@nocodelife That’s awesome to hear! 🙌 Love that the transition felt smooth and familiar. Huge props to @jamesdevonport for jumping right in, excited to see more builds like this out in the wild! 💪📱

Plug & Play, by Swapstack
I've been playing with the new mobile editor a bit over the past couple of weeks, and it's a really promising start! As a long-time Bubble dev, it was intuitive to pick up and exciting to see functionality we've all wanted for years. I can see this really opening up a lot of cool opportunities for founders who want a straight native app or a companion app to their existing webapp. Stoked to see where Bubble takes this! 💙
Bubble
@kellyclaus 👋 Hey Kelly, long time no chat!
It definitely feels like a dream come true to finally have the native app functionality we've all been waiting for. I can already see so many possibilities, whether you're building from scratch or complementing your web app with something native, this seamless experience is a huge win.
Can't wait to see what you do with this and to continue shaping the community together! 🏆
Bubble
@kellyclaus Thank you for the support all these years, and for the beta in particular. Can't wait to see you apps in the stores!
Bubble
@kellyclaus Love hearing that, tyvm! 💙 The team put a lot of consideration into making the mobile editor feel familiar for existing Bubble devs while unlocking a whole new layer of possibility. Totally agree, whether it’s a standalone app or a companion to a web app, we’re excited to see how founders run with it from here! 🚀
@kellyclaus - Wow, Kelly's support means a lot!! I'll be on the lookout for your first native mobile app 👀👀
