Features
A signed, Play-ready Android app with the native features users expect, without writing a line of Kotlin.
Release-signed APK + AAB
Every build is signed with a keystore you download and own, so you can publish updates to Google Play forever.
Google Play ready
Targets the current Android API, 64-bit, splash-screen API and edge-to-edge, so the bundle passes Play Console checks.
Branding studio
App name, adaptive icon, splash screen, theme and status-bar colours, package ID and version, all set in the browser.
Push notifications
Connect OneSignal or Firebase Cloud Messaging in one step and bring readers and customers back.
Offline mode
Cache visited pages, show a branded offline screen and pull-to-refresh, so the app never feels broken on a bad connection.
AdMob monetisation
Drop in your AdMob IDs for banner and interstitial slots. Your app, your revenue.
Native bridges
Camera and file uploads, downloads, geolocation, deep links and external links in Chrome Custom Tabs.
Always up to date
Change your website and the app changes with it. Rebuild only when you change a native setting.
Make it unmistakably yours
Upload an icon and ApkZio generates every adaptive-icon density, the splash screen and the Play Store listing sizes. Pick colours once and the status bar, toolbar and splash follow.
- Adaptive icon in all densities
- Splash screen with your logo and colour
- Package ID and version you control
- Portrait, landscape or auto orientation
Bring people back with a tap
Paste a OneSignal App ID or upload your Firebase config and the app registers devices on first launch. Send campaigns from the dashboard you already use.
- OneSignal or Firebase Cloud Messaging
- Deep-link a notification to any page
- Permission prompt timed after first use
Earn from day one with AdMob
Add your AdMob app and unit IDs for a smart banner and optional interstitials on navigation. Test IDs are used automatically in debug builds so your account stays safe.
- Banner, adaptive banner and interstitial
- Frequency capping for interstitials
- Consent (UMP) flow for EU and UK users

Why teams pick ApkZio over the alternatives

| Time to first build | About 60 seconds | 3–6 months | 10–30 minutes |
| Cost to start | Free | $10,000+ | $20–60 per month |
| Signed APK + AAB | Yes | Yes | Often APK only |
| Keystore you own | Yes | Yes | Rarely |
| No watermark | Pro and above | Yes | Paid only |
| Push notifications | Yes | Custom build | Paid tier |
| Content updates | Instant, from your site | App store review | Rebuild required |
| Code required | None | Kotlin / Java | None |

Still stuck? Talk to us or read the docs.
Is ApkZio really free?
Yes. Building, downloading and installing your app costs nothing and you do not need a credit card. The Free plan adds a small ApkZio badge to the splash screen and limits you to three builds a day; Pro removes the badge and unlocks push notifications, AdMob and offline mode.
Can I publish the app on Google Play?
Yes. Every build includes an Android App Bundle (AAB) signed with a keystore you download, which is exactly what the Play Console asks for. Follow the publishing guide in our docs; you will need a Google Play developer account and a privacy policy URL.
What is the difference between APK and AAB?
The APK is a single file you can install directly on any Android phone or share with testers. The AAB is the publishing format Google Play requires; Play generates optimised APKs from it for each device. ApkZio gives you both.
Who owns the keystore and the app?
You do. The signing keystore is generated for your app, offered for download with the first build, and never reused across customers. Keep it safe: Google Play only accepts updates signed with the same key.
Does my website need to be online?
For URL-based apps, yes: the app loads your live site, so content updates instantly without a rebuild. If you upload an HTML or ZIP package instead, the pages are bundled inside the app and work fully offline.
Will the app work offline?
With offline mode enabled, visited pages are cached and shown when the connection drops, with a branded offline screen and a retry button. Pages that have never been opened still need a connection unless you bundle them as HTML.
