Questions people ask

Simple answers. If your question isn't here, email hello@thewishapp.com.

What will I actually get?

A link. When you open it, your app opens. Tap Add to my phone once, and your app's icon sits on your home screen like any other app. It works on Android phones and iPhones.

Do I need to download it from the Play Store?

No. There's nothing to download and nothing to sign up for. You open the link we send, and add it to your phone with one tap.

How much does it cost?

Most apps cost between ₹1,999 and ₹5,999. You see your exact price on our home page as soon as you tell us what you want, before you give us your number.

When do I pay?

Only after you have tried your app on your phone and you're happy with it. There is no advance. You can pay by UPI.

Are there any monthly charges?

No. The price is one-time. If your app ever needs something that costs money every month (for example, sending SMS messages), we'll tell you before we build it, and you decide.

How long does it take?

Usually 2 to 7 days for your free preview, depending on the app. We'll tell you the time along with the price.

What if I want changes?

Small changes before you pay are free. Just tell Russell what you'd like different. Bigger changes later can be done for a small fee, and we'll always tell you the price first.

Is the price final?

The price is worked out from what you write. Most of the time it stays the same. If your app turns out to need more work, Russell will tell you before anything is built, and you can say no.

Who makes the app?

Claude, an AI made by Anthropic, writes the app. Russell, in Hyderabad, reads every request, tests every app himself and talks to you. More about us →

Is my information safe?

For simple apps, everything you enter stays on your own phone. If your app needs to share information between phones (for example, you and your staff), it is stored safely online and only the people you allow can see it.

Does it work without the internet?

Simple apps work without the internet once they're on your phone. Apps that share information between phones need the internet to stay up to date.

What kind of apps can you make?

Everyday business apps: attendance, fees, bookings, price lists, stock, customer lists, reminders, simple order taking.

We don't make games, social networks, big delivery apps like Swiggy, or banking apps.

Can I call you?

We don't take phone calls yet. Tell us about your app on the home page and leave your number, and Russell will message you on WhatsApp. Or email hello@thewishapp.com.
