Mobile App Overview

Jetonomy communities have a native iOS and Android app. Your members get a real mobile app for your forum - feed, topics, replies, votes, spaces, notifications, and (with Jetonomy Pro) messaging, reactions, polls, and badges - and it automatically shows your logo, color, and community name.

Requires Jetonomy 1.6.0 or newer for the per-site branding endpoint (/app/config). Older sites still work with default styling.

What you will learn

What the mobile app is and how it connects to your site
The two ways to ship it: the open-source app or your own branded app
Where to set your branding and how members sign in

How it works

The app connects directly to your WordPress site over the Jetonomy REST API (jetonomy/v1). There is no middleman server and no separate account system - members sign in with your site, and your data stays on your site.

Member's phone  ->  Jetonomy App  ->  Your WordPress site (jetonomy/v1 REST API)

When the app opens your community it reads your branding from GET /wp-json/jetonomy/v1/app/config (logo, accent color, community name) and themes itself to match.

Two ways to ship it

Option	Best for	What members see
Open-source Jetonomy app	Trying it out, smaller communities, members who belong to several communities	A generic app they point at your site; it themes itself with your branding
Your own branded app	Established communities that want their own store presence	Your icon and name in the App Store / Play Store, published under your own developer accounts

Both use the same codebase. You set the in-app branding (logo, color, name) the same way in either case - see Brand Your App.

What members can do

The Spaces screen in the mobile app, listing forums and Q&A spaces with category filters, member counts, and recent activity

Browse the feed across spaces (Hot / New / Top), post topics and questions, reply, and vote
Join forums, Q&A, and idea spaces; get notifications; search
With Jetonomy Pro: private messaging, reactions, polls, custom badges, custom fields, and native push
Belong to several communities and switch between them in one app
Read offline - the last-seen content is available without a connection
