Flexibility at its core

Here are some examples of custom requirements that we have already implemented and which are easy to use for you:

    Custom UI elements and UX features
  • img
    Custom fonts and styles

    Native Ads via Google SDKs (Admob or DFP) or other ad providers

You can implement these custom features on your own on the basis of our code. Or we can handle that for you in separate branches, where you enjoy full freedom. In any case you will benefit from future improvement and technical developments of our core platform.
