Does an AI app builder work from the UK?
BuildMyAPK is an AI app builder and AI code generator for mobile apps. Describe an app in chat, preview a live mobile app, and export React Native source or build Android APK and iOS IPA. You can also start from a website URL when you already have a brand online. Idea Lab at https://buildmyapk.com/idea is the free tool to generate and stress-test app ideas (market fit, size, competition), then hand off a frontend-only BuildMyAPK prompt.
Yes. BuildMyAPK runs in the browser. UK teams sign in, describe the product in plain English, and get a live phone preview in a cloud sandbox. There is no local installer, no Xcode requirement for the first preview, and no need to VPN into a US region.
UK GDPR, data, and what we actually store
If you are in the United Kingdom, UK GDPR still applies to personal data we process to run the service. We collect account details, prompts, generated project files, and basic usage logs. We do not sell that information.
You can delete projects from the dashboard. For access or deletion of your account, use the contact page. The privacy policy explains collection, retention, and how to reach us — including UK and EEA requests.
App Store UK and Play Console — honest limits
BuildMyAPK produces real Expo source and optional EAS cloud builds (APK, AAB, IPA). It does not submit the binary to Apple or Google for you. UK developers still create their own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, pay those store fees in the currency Apple or Google bills, and complete store listings themselves.
The product value in Britain is skipping Xcode and Android Studio on day one: you iterate in chat, then export to GitHub when you are ready for a developer or a store pipeline.
Pounds, USD billing, and VAT
List prices are in US dollars. Stripe charges the USD amount; UK cards usually convert to GBP at the card network rate. We do not currently show VAT-inclusive UK prices at checkout.
Billing is paused and generation is currently unlimited — check the pricing page for the live status. When paid plans resume, Pro and Pro+ remain USD credit plans, not GBP SKUs.
Who in the UK this is for
Founders validating an MVP before hiring a mobile shop. Agencies that need a running Expo preview for a client workshop. Makers who want an APK to sideload without standing up Android Studio. It is a cloud product, not a London or Manchester studio — anyone in the UK with a browser can start.
- English product UI and English prompts
- iOS IPA via EAS when Apple credentials are configured — no Mac required for the cloud build
- Website-to-app from a UK Shopify, WordPress, or marketing site URL
How to start
Create an account, open the dashboard, and describe the product in one sentence — or paste a website URL. Preview the live app in a phone frame, iterate in chat, then export source or run a cloud build for APK or IPA.
