This is probably the best WebView app I have ever come across. Hope the development will continue well as until now and just want to say: “Excellent App”.
– Pierre Soria, WebView App

I wish I could give more than 5-star rating because not only the app is wonderfully coded, but Robo Templates provide great video instruction, have excellent FAQ, and are quick to respond to support questions. This is app from experienced Android developer and completely worth to buy. I’m excited to see what I can turn it into! Thanks for the awesome app design!
– Weblab Design, WebView App

Robo Templates are very responsive to my questions and reply to my comments in a very short time. I like the way they treat me as non developer experimenting with Android Studio. Kudos for that.
– Evalcaine, WebView App

Great template, fast support and excellent documentation. It’s easy to work with this project. My first experience with Android Studio and it works just great.
– Edgars Koronevskis, WebView App

This is my first real experience with building Android apps. I had my first app up and running in no time. The code seems really clean, the documentation is excellent and the app seems to adhere to most of the current design guidelines for Android apps resulting in a beautifully polished and fast app. Cheers guys!
– Adam Newton, City Guide

One of the best Android application, simple and easy to use, and what is great – the application is really fast.
– Steven Dahdah, City Guide

Great start point to build your own app or to use it as it is to create a basic app with the provided functionality, with limited or even “none” knowledge of coding. Great work! Code structure is clear and it follows all Google guidelines.
