Fastshot is an AI-powered mobile app builder that generates production-ready native iOS and Android apps from text descriptions. Built on Expo and React Native, it handles design, code generation, backend setup, and App Store deployment — no coding required.

Do I need coding experience to use Fastshot?

No. Fastshot generates complete mobile apps from plain English descriptions. No coding, design, or technical skills are required. Simply describe your app idea and Fastshot builds it.

What kind of apps can Fastshot build?

Fastshot builds native iOS and Android mobile apps across all categories including fitness, social, productivity, business, education, e-commerce, and lifestyle apps. Apps include UI, navigation, backend (Supabase with PostgreSQL), authentication, push notifications, and monetization.

Can I deploy my app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. Fastshot compiles APK and AAB files for Google Play and IPA files for the App Store in the cloud. It also generates store metadata, screenshots, and submission documentation for both platforms.

Do I own the source code?

Yes. You get full ownership of the generated React Native and Expo source code. You can export it, modify it in VS Code or any IDE, or hand it to a developer. Zero vendor lock-in.

How is Fastshot different from web app builders like Bolt.new or Lovable?

Bolt.new and Lovable generate web applications that run in a browser. Fastshot generates true native mobile apps using React Native and Expo that compile to iOS and Android binaries with full device API access including camera, GPS, push notifications, and biometrics.

Can I customize the matching mechanics?

Yes. Describe your matching style — swipe, like/pass, questionnaire-based, or interest-matching — and Fastshot generates the discovery experience to match your vision.

Does the app include real-time messaging?

Absolutely. Fastshot generates in-app chat powered by Supabase real-time subscriptions with text messages, photos, and read receipts between matched users.

Are safety features built in?

Describe your safety requirements. Fastshot generates block and report functionality, profile review screens, and photo verification flows to protect your users.

Can users filter matches by preferences?

Yes. Fastshot generates preference screens with filters for age, distance, interests, and other criteria so users see relevant potential matches.

How do I handle photo uploads for profiles?

Fastshot generates multi-photo upload components with reordering. Images are stored in Supabase Storage with automatic optimization for fast loading.
