Improve customer retention
We build Android and iOS apps that improve customer retention, build loyalty, and grow your AOV. Built completely in-house, Zap takes your competition website and turns it into a fully functioning app that syncs directly with your site for instant updates.
Let's build your competition appYour Site in Their Hands
The average person checks their phone 58 times a day. That’s 58 chances to reach, engage, and excite your audience—if you’re on their homescreen.
With a Zap app, your customers can access your competitions instantly, get notified about new draws or winners in real time, and even unlock exclusive app-only competitions that build loyalty and increase engagement.
- Push notifications
- App-only exclusives
- App install prompts on eligible devices
Built For Growth
More visibility. More conversions. More repeat customers.
Our apps are fully integrated versions of your website, meaning anything you update on your site will automatically update in your app. There’s no extra management or duplication. And because it’s your actual site, it’s always brand-consistent and feature-complete. Our features include:
- Push notifications (powered by OneSignal)
- Instant syncing with your live website
- App-only competitions and exclusives
- App install prompts on mobile and desktop
- No in-app purchases, so Apple takes zero commission
- No listing needed for Android (Android) versions
Keep Customers Engaged With Push Notifications
Push notifications are one of the most effective marketing tools available, offering direct, high-converting messaging outside of inboxes and social algorithms.
We’ve seen our clients dramatically increase return visits and conversions with strategic push campaigns that are personal, well-timed, and built around what their audience wants. And with Zap apps, push is built in from the start.
Native iOS + Android
We create two formats for maximum reach:
- iOS app: Fully approved and listed on the Apple App Store
- Android: A progressive web app, instantly installable on Android—no app store needed
Androids behave just like traditional apps, but are faster to launch, easier to update, and automatically stay in sync with your website. No added tech headaches. Just instant access across Android and desktop devices.
Instant Updates and Unparalleled Support
We build iOS and Android apps that make your life simpler. When we update your website, your app is automatically updated too. No delays, no downtime, and no work for you.
Need some help? Don’t sweat. Our support team is here to help you no matter the issue. Forget AI chatbots and automated responses, when you need support our team of real people are always on hand to give you real advice.

Have some questions?
That’s good cos we have the answers
Great question. An app puts your brand on your players’ homescreens, meaning you’re just one tap away without searching or distractions. With push notifications, app-only exclusives, and instant access, apps drive more repeat entries and build loyalty faster than a site alone.
Our apps are fully integrated versions of your website. That means every update you make on your site instantly syncs to your app with no extra management or duplication. You stay brand-consistent, feature-complete, and future-proof.
We build for iOS (Apple App Store approved) and Android (progressive web apps, no app store required). Both behave like traditional apps but update instantly with your website, making them faster to launch and easier to manage.
Absolutely. Push notifications are built-in from day one. Whether it’s new draws, winners, or flash promos, you can send direct, high-converting messages to your players without relying on email or social algorithms.
You’ll never be left guessing. Zap apps are built in-house by our UK team, and our support doesn’t stop after launch. We handle updates automatically and our real people (not chatbots) are always on hand with advice when you need it.
What our partners say about Zap.
“I've had the pleasure of working with Zap for over 4 years now. As a business we've grown together and I don't believe for competition websites that there is a more reliable and secure solution. You get what you pay for when it concerns websites and these guys are the Rolls Royce of comp site web developers. The support is excellent and just an all round friendly capable team.”
