There are tools every mobile developer sooner or later needs to add to their app. Those tools have nothing to do with the app’s core purpose and are completely generic, such as news updates, feature requests, FAQs, in-app alerts, you name it.
To get there, you basically have two options:
Option 1: You build them yourself. But that means setting up and maintaining a backend, an API, and all that infrastructure. That’s not your core business, right?
Option 2: You subscribe to a service. But most of them only cover a single feature, so you usually end up subscribing to several services.
Once you integrate multiple services, each with its own API and contract, your users end up browsing mobile websites that don’t match your app’s UI at all. They have to sign up for a third-party account just to vote on a feature.
Meanwhile, your app only uses a fraction of each service’s feature set — yet you’re left paying the full monthly fees. It shouldn’t cost $20/month to let users submit a feature request. It shouldn’t cost another $10/month to show a simple FAQ.
We’ve been there ourselves. We’ve been building mobile apps for over 15 years, serving millions of users worldwide. We’ve tried countless services, built our own tools, and spent far too much time and money on solutions that never quite fit.
That’s why we built Mobile Joe:
- Native, all-you-need tools for your mobile app
- Invisible user identification (no signup required for your users)
- Ready-to-use but customizable UI components
- Optionally implement your own UI
- SDKs for iOS and Android (more coming)
- Simple, affordable, developer-friendly
We launched with Feature Plans, In-App Alerts and FAQ — and we’re already working on many more.
