Your miniListings applications is a "web app" and not a "native app". Because it is a web app, it works and acts just like a website. In other words, your clients do not need to search the App Store or Android Market to find your app, and they don't need to download anything to their phone. They simply need to open the web browser on their phone and enter your miniListings URL, http://minilistings.net/<minilistings id> where <minilistings id> is your unique miniListings user id, or the custom URL that you created and assigned to your miniListings app.
The other major benefit of using a web app over a native app is that updates we make to the app are available to you and your clients in real time. You don't need to worry about whether your clients are using the latest version of your miniListings app, they will always access the latest version when they load it into their phone's web browser.
Friendly tip: You and your clients can get the best of both worlds by adding your miniListings app to the home screen of your iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry device. A miniListings icon will be placed on the home screen of the phone so your miniListings app is always one-click away. Your miniListings app will look and feel just like a "native" app. We've written up instructions for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry devices that you can review in the Phone Tips section of our FAQs.
