After the plugin is installed, you will come across the Mobiloud Get Started page where you will find a number of tabs.

As you keep customizing the options you can see a preview of the app beside the page.
Next is the Menu Configuration page where you can select categories, tags, pages, links and adjust menu settings.
After you have configured the menu, you can now test your app in the simulator. To preview your app in your Android or iOS device follow the procedure below:

If you are satisfied with your design then you can publish your app from the next tab from the WordPress plugin. Publishing your app will require a premium Mobiloud account from which you can avail all the features and benefits.
Why use Mobiloud?
As you can see till now that creating an app from Mobiloud does not require any coding skills. If you try, you build an app the normal way then you’d need to learn coding or hire an Android developer. But using Mobiloud will let you create your own app just with a few clicks. How simple is that, isn’t it?
Secondly, if you use the other app creating applications then you might find them very complex or the pricing would be too expensive. Mobiloud offers very reliable pricing with higher benefits that you’d ever need for your app. The settings and options are so simple that any first time WordPress user can operate it easily. When any visitor wants to read a post from your website he’ll be easily redirected to it within the app.
From the advertising settings, you can choose which advertisements should be displayed on your app. Also you can specify the advertisement space whether you want to display it on the top or on the bottom, but you cannot display it at the both zones together.
Mobiloud has in-built support for Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics for which you’d require entering your tracking ID’s. After that you can track your website visitors directly from the app.
With Mobiloud, you can also embed HTML, JavaScript, PHP and CSS codes anywhere within the content page or other pages. This will not affect the visibility of the app and will look the same as you can see in your WordPress site.
The best feature of Mobiloud is the push notifications feature where every app user is notified about the new posts on the site. Push notifications can also be used for custom posts and categories which would focus on readers of specific interest. This gives you a better management of the complete app.
Mobiloud Pricings
As I said Mobiloud is a free plugin but getting benefitted from all its features would require a premium account.
