You Can Skip the App Store: Nonius Mobile Now Available as a PWA

By 8 May 2025Guest App, News
Nonius Mobile now also comes as a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing guests to seamlessly install it directly from their browser for quick and easy access to your hotel’s services—no app store download required.

What if your guests could enjoy a smooth, app-like experience—without ever visiting an app store? Now they can. With our latest update, Nonius Mobile is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This means guests can instantly access your hotel’s digital services from their home screen, complete with your logo and branding. No downloads. No delays. Just your brand—front and center.

Why Nonius Mobile PWA is a Smart Move for Your Hotel

✅  Instant Access – Guests install directly from the browser. No friction, no barriers.

✅  Branded Icon – Your hotel’s name and logo on their phone—visibility that builds trust.

✅  Smart Prompting – A built-in mechanism to gently prompt guests to add the PWA to their device’s home screen.

✅  Full-Screen Experience – Delivers the feel of a native app without the install hassle.

✅  Faster Adoption – Ideal for quick engagement and reducing guest hesitation.

✅  Smart Flexibility – Perfect for properties not investing in a native app (yet).

✅  Need More Power? – Advanced features like BLE Mobile Key or Softphone are still available through our Native App.

Whether you want the instant accessibility of the PWA or the advanced capabilities of the Native App, Nonius delivers the solution that aligns with your goals.

  • PWA = Built for immediacy. For the first-timer, the last-minute booker, the conference attendee.

It’s all about offering the right option for each property’s strategy.”
