Median.co Reviews & Product Details

Our company was in need of a couple of apps that could be installed from the app stores by customers. We did have a talented software developer, but his resources were tied up in other efforts, and so we did not have someone dedicated to developing Android and iOS apps. We looked into hiring a 3rd party developer to assist, but then came across Median.co. What we loved most about it was that we were able to instantly preview and customize the app in the browser without having to go through the app stores. We could get everything just right first, and then test directly on our devices once we were happy. It was extremely easy to get the branding implemented across the icons, splash screens, etc. We then were able to use their services to actually prepare our app for publishing and get it onto the app stores. It really was an easy process from beginning to end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Various services (some that we needed to use) were separate purchases that added up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Median.co back when it was Native.io. It has been a great service and works well for my clients. The instant app availability, and dev environment that can be shared within minutes, lets me showcase how my responsive websites will work in the web as well as an installed app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about Median.co is the lack of native app functionality in some cases. We have some needs that result in consultant developers recommending going outside of the product, but the maintenance and baseline app of Median is necessary so we end up forgoing that functionality the client wants.

Median.co with it's GoNative product has a very straightforward, easy to learn and implenment tool for converting web apps into fully functional native apps. The whole platform really simplifies what would typically be fairly complex and tricky, costly task. Customer support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the more advanced app customizationabilities are limited because of GoNative - I think this is something Median could improve in future versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am slightly familiar with coding but not an expert by any means so it was amazing to have a software that helped us get our custom webflow site into a native app easily and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little unclear how to actually implement custom native add on features for someone who is not an expert in coding. I know I can add them but it was hard for me to explore each add on to see how to implement it without paying for it. They might have updated since I last searched their add on features.

The customization features are amazing and prevent you from having to do a whole bunch of coding in-app or in XCode— it makes everything so easy and smooth to upload to the App and Play Store. But the real lifesaver for me was the download build feature for both iOS and Android. I recently moved to a company where most of the phone were Android and I'm a life-long Mac user... saved my job, really! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't encounter any downsides, really. Everything I needed to accomplish, I did and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed to get an app up and running quickly during the COVID pandemic to better support our customer base. Median (GoNative at the time) made it very quick and easy, we were able to get an app up and running within 2 weeks, which was outstanding! It's simple to use, provides all the features needed, and just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not necessarily a downside, but if your not a technical person, there is a lot of considerations to make on your app, so it requires some time to go through all the options and understand everything. It's all important stuff, but I can see how it can be confusing to someone who isn't familiar with it, which is why they are probably hitting Median's site in the first place, because they don't have any tech ability to write their own app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Median is very easy to use and is the quickest way to convert your existing web app into a working phone app. We've saved thousands of dollars by not committing dev time to reinventing the wheel. Whenever we've had any issues, we can comment on their forums for quick responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There rarely are some discrepancies between the behavior of the app on the phone and the original web app in the browser. Typically, these will be very minor and won't cause any major issues. There are workarounds and the rarity of this makes it a non-issue for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The process of migrating our web application to mobile is fast and easy to implement, also the constant and automatic update of the migrated applications help SMEs not to spend programing cycles maintaing the applciation. The support team is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the basic customization options are great, businesses with highly specialized needs may find these limited and would need to dedicate time tuning things. However, for most use cases, it is more than enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Median made having an App that is downloadable at the app stores possible. Without Median, we would have invested significant dollars in building apps from scratch that didn't have functionality on par with our website version. When we tell clients that our apps have the same functionality as our website - they are ecstatic about this. We are proud to call Median a partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, working with the Median team has been great - we appreciate their responsiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using the Median/GoNative app platform for our public transportation system since 2015 without a single hiccup! I can’t say that about any other web platform I’ve worked with. As you would expect, a bus service needs to provide stable scheduling information to its riders, and Median helps us achieve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about other than cost, but every business needs to make money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
