Branded App by Wix: Postponing the deadline for the third time. What is the strategy?

Time to chime in on this… again. The only “communication” we receive is that its 50% off and to get it now or we’ll be sorry. In other forum posts we’ve requested updates but nobody replies. I think the frustrating thing is instead of forcing the sale with a time limit and effectively threatening everyone why not just sell us on the functionality and why we should buy it. Telling us more people are using mobile to browse and apps are easier to navigate is pretty meaningless as we know how apps work. Tell us what features make it worth buying. At the moment its spaces with your own logo.

I understand not integrating velo… but at least integrate datasets. Datasets are the backbone of editor. Without datasets, galleries and info sections in branded app are pretty useless as images and data won’t be fully integrated. So the most sellable element of branded app (which is its integration / connectivity with web / editor) is actually not totally true. I run a site which host events. We allow our members to post events on our site. I had to do this in velo because wix events currently doesn’t allow site members to create events through a site. Branded app only uses wix events (can’t plug in our custom events dataset) so there are some connection issues. Our other revenue stream is selling products. Without apple pay implemented globally the branded app store is pretty useless. I also struggle to see how the branded app store is different from mobile store… just my own thoughts.

Please stop telling us to buy something that doesn’t exist or hasn’t been developed yet. It didn’t work out so great for Elizabeth Holmes (jokes)…

Sorry for the rant but we’ve been asking for feedback for months… also please know that this frustration is because we all know how great it could be and we all want you guys to smash it out the park.
