Natively wraps (converts) your website/web app to the native mobile app by adding it to the WebView (an embeddable browser that a native application can use to display web content). ADD NATIVE FEATURES Access mobile native features such as push notifications, QR/bar code scanner, toast, banners, geolocation, camera, etc., by picking, not coding (with our SDK & Plugins).
