What problems is Median.co solving and how is that benefiting you?
For 16 years, we had passed on building native apps and instead offered simple web and mobile versions of our software that were easy for our small team to build and maintain. Anytime we need to change something (minor or major), we make the change in one place and everyone gets it instantly, without us having to resubmit an app to Apple and Google and also require our users to download/install an update.
In recent years, more and more of users would ask where our app was and/or why we didn’t provide native apps. Owners at restaurants we serve would frequently ask us if we were planning on building an app and would let us know that would make their lives easier when onboarding new staff. People naturally look for an app for everything now and we were not there. We always directed them to our mobile site and stayed away from building additional native software (apps).
Seeing our mobile first-site running as a native app for both iOS and Android within minutes of getting started (using Median's tool) was like a light bulb moment. Realizing we can still update our software in one place and have these apps see the changes instantly was a big deal. It became clear to us that having a presence on the app stores would be quick and would make both our lives and our customer’s lives easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
