Are there any Discourse communities currently using a native mobile app for their forum that is publicly available? If so, could someone kindly share the app names or links? I would like to forward these examples to our development team as references for building our own native app.

> Hello @AveyBD! Discourse already has a free app called Discourse Hub and is available on both Apple and Android. I’ll post the links below. Hope this is what you were looking for?
Moreover, each Discourse forum can be installed as a PWA.

If you want to have your own branded app on the stores, use this archived repo as a basis. You will need to update it.

> Following up on the discussion [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-if-i-want-to-white-label-the-discourse-mobile-apps/53063/9), I have successfully set up a fork of the official Discourse app that can send push notifications via the OneSignal API. There are two parts to this: [discourse-onesignal](https://github.com/pmusaraj/discourse-onesignal/) - a Discourse plugin that sends Push Notifications to OneSignal’s REST API and a [Discourse Mobile Single Site App](https://github.com/pmusaraj/discourse-mobile-single-site-app) built similarly to the official Discourse Mobile app (using React Native), but using OneSignal for notifications and a simplified interface to suit the needs of a single app. I…

Thank you, @merefield and @NateDhaliwal , for your responses. I’m familiar with Discourse Hub, but I’m specifically looking for examples of publicly available apps that integrate a Discourse forum. The goal is to explore how forum features are implemented within an app so we can create comprehensive documentation for developers to replicate similar functionality.

I know it’s not exactly what you asked for, but you should be aware of this option.
The whitelisted app I shared presents the forum almost exactly as you see it on the browser, with a slightly different login experience. Because it uses a web view it is compatible with themes and plugins which is extremely useful. A “fully native” app would not be and changes to functionality or look and feel will have significantly more friction for deployment.
It uses React Native.

The only whitelisted apps we’ve built for customers are not public.
