Branded Mobile App

The typical timeline from initiation to app store availability is 1-3 weeks, though this can vary based on app store review processes. The setup process begins with brand asset collection (logos, colors, descriptions) and basic configuration, which usually takes 1-2 days.

Once configured, we handle the technical submission to both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Apple typically reviews apps within 24-48 hours, while Google Play usually approves within 2-4 hours. However, both stores may occasionally request additional information or modifications, which can extend the timeline.

After initial approval, your app is immediately available for download by your members. We provide marketing materials and announcement templates to help you promote the app launch to your community, ensuring strong initial adoption and engagement.

Building a custom app that has similar features typically costs between $40,000-$100,000 and takes 6-12 months to develop, requiring ongoing developer maintenance that can run thousands per month. With Orgo's branded app solution, you'll have your professional iOS and Android apps live in just 2 weeks, at a fraction of the cost.

More importantly, custom apps require you to manage technical updates, security patches, and compatibility issues as operating systems evolve. Our solution handles all technical maintenance, app store compliance, and platform updates automatically. You focus on your members while we ensure your app stays current, secure, and fully functional across all devices.

Your branded app receives regular updates through our innovative dual-update system. Critical updates and new features can be pushed directly to the app without requiring members to download a new version from the app store. This over-the-air update capability ensures all members have access to the latest features and security improvements immediately.

For major updates requiring app store approval, we handle the entire submission process. These updates typically include significant functionality additions, platform requirement changes, or annual refreshes. Members receive notifications through the app store's standard update mechanism, making the process familiar and straightforward.

The platform automatically manages version compatibility, ensuring older app versions continue functioning while encouraging users to update for the best experience. This approach minimizes disruption while maintaining a modern, secure app environment for your entire member base.

No, we never take a percentage of your revenue. Unlike many platforms that charge 1-4% transaction fees on top of payment processing, Orgo uses a transparent, predictable pricing model. You pay your monthly platform fee, and every dollar you collect through member dues, event tickets, donations, or in-app purchases stays with your organization.

This means as your organization grows and generates more revenue through the app, your costs don't increase. Whether you're processing $1,000 or $100,000 in monthly transactions, you keep the same profit margins. Standard payment processing fees still apply (through the payment processor like Stripe), but Orgo adds no additional transaction fees on top.

For organizations processing significant revenue, this can mean thousands in savings each month compared to percentage-based platforms. More importantly, it makes budgeting predictable so you know exactly what your technology costs will be, regardless of your success.

Absolutely! This is where Orgo excels for multi-chapter organizations. While maintaining your unified organizational brand and app presence, each chapter can have its own distinct identity within the app experience. Chapters can manage their own content, events, and member communications while operating under your organization's umbrella.

Members see their local chapter's specific information, events, and community while still accessing organization-wide resources and benefits. Think of it as having multiple branded experiences within one powerful app and maintaining brand consistency while allowing local customization and autonomy.

This multi-chapter capability extends to administrative control as well. Chapter leaders can manage their own sections without affecting other chapters, while headquarters maintains oversight and governance. It's the perfect balance of centralized control and distributed management that multi-chapter organizations need.

The mobile app provides almost full feature parity with the web platform, focusing on the functions members use most frequently. Core features like discussions, events, member directories, document viewing, profile management, and payment processing work seamlessly on mobile.

The app intentionally prioritizes member engagement features while reserving complex administrative functions for the web platform. Heavy administrative tasks like newsletter creation, contract management, and complex organizational settings are better suited for desktop use and remain web-exclusive.

This strategic approach ensures members have everything they need for daily engagement while administrators can access full control through the web when handling detailed organizational management. The result is a mobile experience that's fast, focused, and user-friendly rather than cluttered with rarely-used administrative features.

Absolutely. Members use the same credentials for both web and mobile platforms, eliminating the need for separate registrations or multiple passwords. When existing members download your app, they simply log in with their current credentials and immediately access their full member profile and history.

The app supports modern authentication methods including social login (if configured), single sign-on (SSO) for enterprise organizations, and biometric authentication for quick access. Once logged in, members can choose to remain authenticated, making future app launches instant and frictionless.

For new members, the app includes optimized registration flows that create accounts working across both web and mobile platforms. This unified authentication approach reduces password fatigue and support requests while ensuring members can seamlessly switch between devices based on their preferences and circumstances.

While every organization sees different results, branded apps typically deliver immediate value through dramatically increased engagement. Push notifications achieve 85-90% open rates compared to 20-30% for email, meaning your important announcements actually reach members. Organizations often see 3-5x more daily active users once members add your app to their home screens.

Beyond engagement metrics, consider the operational savings. A branded app consolidates multiple tools, eliminating separate subscriptions for event apps, SMS platforms, member directories, and communication tools. Most organizations save $500-2,000 monthly by replacing these fragmented solutions with one unified platform.

The real ROI comes from member lifetime value. When members have instant access to your community, events, and resources right on their phones (where they look 150+ times daily) they stay more connected, renew at higher rates, and actively participate in your mission.

The app becomes your always-available member services desk, reducing support costs while improving member satisfaction.

Push notifications are one of the most powerful engagement tools in your branded app, driving 3-5x higher engagement compared to email alone. You can send targeted notifications for events, announcements, discussion updates, and urgent communications directly to members' devices.

Administrators control push notifications through the web platform, with options to target all members, specific groups, or individual users. The system includes smart delivery timing to maximize engagement while respecting user preferences. Members maintain full control over their notification preferences, choosing which types of alerts they receive and how frequently.

The platform tracks notification delivery and engagement metrics, helping you understand what resonates with your community. Built-in safeguards prevent notification fatigue by limiting frequency and ensuring only relevant, valuable updates reach your members.

Orgo provides comprehensive analytics for your branded app, including download statistics, daily/monthly active users, session duration, feature usage, and engagement patterns. These insights integrate with your overall organizational analytics, providing a complete picture of member engagement across all platforms.

The analytics dashboard shows platform-specific metrics like push notification performance, app retention rates, and mobile-specific user journeys. You can track how mobile engagement compares to web usage, identify your most active mobile members, and understand which features drive the most value in your mobile experience.

For support, your existing Orgo support channels cover both web and mobile platforms. Our team helps with app store issues, configuration changes, and optimization recommendations. We also provide resources for promoting your app, including email templates, social media graphics, and best practices for driving adoption within your member community.
