Your Voxel directory or listing platform — now a native mobile app on your users’ home screens. Free preview before you ever ship.
Built specifically for Voxel — your site, your design, on iOS and Android.
Appress was designed against real WordPress sites — and Voxel is one of the platforms it ships first-class support for. Turn on the Voxel module in the Appress plugin and every system below is live in your app:
Listings, properties, events, restaurants, profiles, or any custom CPT you’ve built — every Voxel post type is in the app on day one.
Every Voxel event — new listing, booking confirmed, review reply, message received — can trigger a push notification, a screen change, or a deep link.
Hide or show any element by surface using Voxel’s own visibility rules: “Is Appress app”, “Is iOS app”, “Is Android app”. Web-only banner? App-only CTA? One toggle.
Build your app screens using the Elementor builder and Voxel elements your team already knows. No proprietary “app builder” UI to learn.
Publish a new listing, change a price, post a new event on WordPress — it’s in the app on the next tap. No re-submission for content updates.
Real Apple Push on iOS, Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android. Trigger from Voxel events, Uncanny Automator, or any custom WP hook.
Voxel’s native indicators sync to the app’s bottom-nav badges. Users see unread counts the moment they open the app.
Voxel map filters use the device’s real GPS. Pin taps feel native. Location prompts handled by the OS, not a browser permission dialog.
Face ID, Touch ID, Android fingerprint for return logins. Scan a QR code from your desktop site to sign in on phone in one second. One-tap Google Sign-In.
Multilingual Voxel sites inherit the language switch in the app automatically — first-class native integration.
Need the technical reference? The Voxel integration docs cover every hook, App Event, Visibility Condition, indicator, and configuration option.

Generic app builders don’t understand Voxel — they miss App Events, Visibility Conditions, and Voxel’s own elements. Custom development rebuilds your site at huge cost. Appress hits the sweet spot: built for Voxel, app-store ready, free to evaluate.
Real Apple Push (APNs) on iOS, Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android — the same channel Instagram and Uber use. Trigger on any Voxel event (new listing, booking change, review reply, message), any Uncanny Automator workflow, or any custom WordPress hook. Web push can’t deliver on iOS. App push does.
Schedule and send push campaigns from your Appress dashboard. Target by app, by platform (iOS vs Android), by user segment. Read-tracking and delivery stats built in. Run marketing campaigns the same way you run email campaigns — but with iOS-grade delivery.
Publish a new listing, change a price, post a new event on WordPress — it’s in the app on the next tap. Compare to custom-built native apps where every content change waits 3–7 days for Apple App Review.
Build app screens using the Elementor builder and Voxel elements your team already uses. The Appress Voxel module registers App Events and visibility rules natively in Voxel’s editor — no proprietary app-builder UI to learn, no separate design system to maintain.
Face ID, Touch ID, and Android fingerprint replace passwords for the WordPress login flow. For first-time login on a new phone, scan a QR code from your desktop site — signed in on mobile in one second. No typing passwords on a 4-inch keyboard.
Sign up for free at my.appress.app and connect your Voxel site. Configure your branding, pick your tabs, and see your configured app live on your phone via the Appress Preview app — no build, no commit.
Install the Appress Preview app from the store, scan the QR shown on your my.appress.app dashboard, and the configured Voxel directory app loads inside Preview. No card on file, no build resources consumed.
iOS and Android builds, push infrastructure (APNs + FCM), all Voxel integrations, App Store-ready compliance, white-glove submission help.
If your Voxel site has any of: custom post types, App Events, Visibility Conditions, or active return users — Appress was built for you.
Can you build a native mobile app for a Voxel theme WordPress site?
Yes. Appress turns Voxel-powered WordPress sites into real native iOS and Android apps that ship to the App Store and Google Play. Voxel’s post types, App Events, Visibility Conditions, indicators, and Google Sign-In all work in the app.
Does Appress preserve my Voxel design and customization?
Yes. Your site as designed, on mobile. The Appress Voxel module hooks directly into Voxel — no design rebuild, no parallel UI system to maintain.
Does Appress support push notifications for Voxel events?
Yes. Every Voxel event in the Appress Events catalogue can trigger a push — new listing, booking confirmed, review reply, message received. You can also trigger pushes from Uncanny Automator workflows or any custom WordPress hook.
What sign-in methods does the app support?
Email and password (your existing WordPress login), Google Sign-In, Sign in with QR code (scan from desktop, signed in on phone instantly), and biometric return-login with Face ID, Touch ID, or Android fingerprint.
Will my Voxel custom post types show in the app?
Yes. Every Voxel post type — listings, properties, events, restaurants, profiles, or any custom CPT you have built — renders in the app exactly as on the website. No mapping or rebuilding required.
Does the app work with Voxel Maps and geolocation?
Yes. Voxel map filters use the device’s real GPS. Native location permission handled by the OS, not a browser permission dialog.
Is the app multilingual?
Yes. Sites running TranslatePress get a first-class native integration — the language switch appears in the app automatically.
How long does it take to ship a Voxel app to the App Store?
Voxel sites with Appress installed typically have a configured-and-previewed app within a day. After production build, Apple App Review is 24–72 hours for most directory categories; Google Play first review is 24–48 hours. Directory operators usually launch to both stores in under a week from start.
Do I need to rebuild my Voxel site to use Appress?
No. Install the Appress plugin on your existing Voxel site, configure the app in the dashboard, preview, and ship. Your Voxel site stays exactly as it is.
How much does a Voxel mobile app with Appress cost?
Zero subscription, zero billing event until you trigger a production build for the stores. The Free Preview tier — booting your configured Voxel app on a real phone — has no time limit. The pricing page lists the per-shipped-app cost tier breakdown.
Do I need to resubmit to the App Store every time I update a listing or change content?
No. Content changes — new listings, price updates, blog posts, anything you publish on WordPress — appear in the app instantly on the next tap.
Can I design the app using Elementor and Voxel elements?
Yes. Build app screens using the Elementor builder and Voxel elements your team already uses. No new design tool, no proprietary app-builder UI.
Can I show or hide elements per platform — web vs app vs iOS vs Android?
Yes. Voxel’s Visibility Conditions detect “Appress app”, “iOS app”, and “Android app” — use them to hide a sidebar on mobile, show an App Store badge only on web, hide a button on iOS only, etc.
If you operate multiple WordPress sites on different stacks, or you’re evaluating moving Voxel features into a different builder, here’s how Appress fits each:
If you need more developer control than Voxel offers and prefer custom Bricks query loops over Voxel post types, the Bricks Builder integration is what you want.
For ThemeForest-style multi-purpose sites that need Avada Commerce + native app on the same WordPress install, this is the integration path.
When your team builds primarily in Elementor Pro and only some sections use Voxel, switch to the Elementor integration for full widget coverage.
For Voxel directories that also run a WooCommerce store layer (vendor payments, product listings), the WooCommerce integration adds native cart + checkout on top.
Overview of every theme/builder integration — Voxel, Bricks Builder, Avada theme, Elementor, WooCommerce, stock WordPress.
Voxel turned WordPress into a directory and marketplace platform. Appress turns those directories and marketplaces into App Store and Google Play listings — without leaving the Voxel theme editor.
