Mobile app for booking press?

I am not a member of the BookingPress staff but thinking about this particular feature I am not completely sure I agree that it should be added despite the popularity of the request. I am however a website engineer by trade. Let me explain my reasoning.

1. The amount of time to develop this could be considerable and it is simply another thing BookingPress will have to maintain.
2. Accomplishing a mobile app can be done with other plugins that are centered around PWA (Progressive Web Applications). Which is ultimately what the team would most likely do to create this feature.
3. Documentation of how to make a PWA using a plugin on the BookingPress documentation site would probably be the best approach. It will reduce the complexity of the plugin infrastructure that the team has to maintain and allow the customers to have an app.
4. It might however be worth it for BookingPress to create a small plugin that piggybacks off of a PWA plugin and makes it more apparent how to install the PWA app to the end users, similar to what SetMore does when you land on their booking pages (they also simply implement through creating a PWA).

I hope this was concise enough to explain why I am against the full development of this feature, I personally think there are better features for the team to iterate on.

I should note that I was actually able to create a PWA for my booking site by simply installing and configuring the Super Progressive Web Apps plugin, I only used the free version. The only things I feel it lacks are:

1. A banner of sorts to better inform the end users of the availability of the PWA. This should be easy enough to do by simply create some custom blocks or other marketing on the website. This style banner is exactly what SetMore has, it pops up at the bottom of the page and explains how to install a PWA to the customers.
2. Push notifications for certain events, this may be able to be done by using SuperPWA's paid push notifications plugin but I have yet to mess with this.

So these last two features along with documentation are what I would concentrate on working out at the BookingPress team.

I agree this would be a really good addition

I would love that.

an app would make it 10x more valuable.

Will be greate

we need a Google Play APP to login to Booking PRess Plugin and to Admin manage easily appointments made through Booking Press Plugin, take example from www.Setmore.com

how to vote this ?

I like the idea of an app for my website where the Bookingpress is part of and thus is integrated into the app. To create an app for only the plugin would work for some, but for others it would be a waist of money if they needed to buy an app for every WP plugin/app that exists. It would be more efficient to make it integratable into many populair app-converters/PWS/etc.

Can we add this plugin to our ios app? I want to use the same booking features on my ios app but couldn't find API end points or something like that... Anyone can help???
