Skip the App Store review queue. Push fixes over-the-air to every installed app, with gradual rollouts and one-click rollback built in.
More than 1,000 teams build with Capawesome
Three things every mobile team needs from an emergency fix: speed to ship, safety once it's live, and a way back if it goes wrong.
Ship a fix in minutes. No 24–48 hour App Store review, no new binary, no version bump in the store.
Gradual rollouts and automatic rollback are built in. A bad hotfix never reaches your full user base.
One release ships the fix to both platforms. No per-store submission, no per-platform timing, no duplicate work.
When production breaks, an App Store review queue is the last thing you need. Ship JS, HTML, and CSS fixes straight to every installed app — no submission, no review wait, no version bump.
No store review for JavaScript, HTML, or CSS fixes
Live in minutes, not 24–48 hours
Same binary — users don't reinstall from the store
Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova — iOS and Android, one push
Not every fix needs the same delivery. Routine improvements download quietly and apply on next launch; critical hotfixes apply immediately on open — before the user hits the bug. No code changes.
Background updates — apply silently on next launch
Immediate updates — force the fix on open for critical bugs
Per-release choice — pick the right strategy for each fix
Zero outdated sessions on immediate — every user runs the latest code
A hotfix that breaks something else is worse than the bug. Roll out to 5%, soak, promote to 25%, then 100%. Protected channels keep every fix behind a sign-off before it reaches users.
Gradual rollouts — 5% / 25% / 100% on your signal
Soak each stage — let the bundle run before promoting to the next ring
Protected channels — sign-off required before production
Pause in one click if metrics turn bad mid-rollout
If a hotfix makes things worse, roll every user back to the previous working bundle in one click. Devices that fail to launch cleanly revert to the last good version on their own — no human in the loop.
One-click rollback to the last known good bundle
Automatic rollback on every device where the bundle fails to launch cleanly
Users snap back on next open — no reinstall, no update prompt
Full audit trail — actor, timestamp, bundle, exportable
Both can ship a fix to production. Only one does it before the bug reaches another user.
From weekend indie releases to mobile apps with millions of users — teams ship fixes faster and sleep better on Capawesome Cloud.
We tested and verified several solutions on the market to help us deliver OTA updates for our Apps quickly, securely and, most importantly, that were capable of scaling as we grew and demanded. Capawesome Cloud was our choice! The integration is super simple, we have automatic rollback and code signing to ensure the security of updates. The costs are transparent and honest, we are very happy with the platform and looking forward to integrating our future Apps!
Moving from Ionic Appflow to Capawesome Cloud has been a fantastic experience. We're very pleased with the product and genuinely impressed with what the team has built. The builds are significantly faster than Ionic Appflow, which is a nice improvement. We especially appreciate how the build process is separated from deployment—it has made debugging much easier and streamlined our entire workflow. The support has also been great. We hope to see even more users make the switch!
Capawesome Cloud has been a game-changer for our team. We can now deploy updates to our Capacitor app without pushing to the app stores. This has saved us countless hours and allowed us to iterate faster. It's a must-have for any modern app development team.
Capawesome Cloud has helped us reduce our live update costs by more than 90% while offering more features than our previous provider. The integration took us less than a day and the support is top-notch. We now deliver daily live updates to more than 200,000 devices without any issues.
We switched from Capgo to Capawesome Cloud a few months ago and so far we haven't looked back. With Capawesome Cloud, we have significantly less downtime, updates are delivered faster, and support is literally the best we have ever experienced. The integration was straightforward, and the documentation is clear and concise. Big thanks to the Capawesome team for creating such an awesome platform!
We mainly use over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver critical bug fixes and updates when waiting on the App Store review process is not an option. After dealing with too much down-time and latency from Capgo, we made the decision to switch to Capawesome Cloud and we couldn't be happier. Capawesome is more stable and the package delivery speeds are significantly faster, which makes a big difference at scale. Capawesome's team is extremely responsive and professional - thanks for supplying such a great product guys.
Capawesome Cloud has become an essential part of our release workflow. We mainly use it for over-the-air updates, allowing us to fix bugs and release updates quickly without waiting for the app review process. The integration was incredibly easy — it took us less than a day and felt almost plug-and-play. The support is excellent as well; the team is always helpful, responsive, and quick to reply.
We had to use an Android and iOS SDK in our Capacitor app, for which no plugin existed. Capawesome was able to create a fully functional Capacitor plugin for us within a few days. The communication was excellent and the plugin works perfectly.
Our Capacitor app had several unique requirements for running operations in the background. The Capawesome team was able to quickly understand our needs and crafted a customized Capacitor plugin that exceeded our expectations.

Live Updates for hotfixes work on Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova apps — on both iOS and Android. Because Live Updates ship JavaScript, HTML, and CSS changes only, they don't apply to native Android and iOS apps. For native-only apps, a hotfix still requires a store re-submission.
Yes. Both stores explicitly permit over-the-air updates that ship JavaScript, HTML, and CSS — the same files that run inside a WebView. What's not allowed is shipping native code changes over-the-air. Capawesome Live Updates work within the rules both stores publish, and thousands of apps ship fixes this way.
A released bundle is available for download within seconds of publishing, and every user with the app open applies it on the next launch. For users who aren't active, the fix rolls out as they reopen the app over the next minutes to hours. Immediate updates can force an already-running app to apply the fix on the very next open, before the user hits the bug again.
Background updates download quietly while the app runs and apply on the next launch — low-friction, no user-visible wait, ideal for routine fixes. Immediate updates force the app to apply the fix on open, even if the user is mid-session — slightly more intrusive, but guarantees no user runs the buggy code once the fix is live. Pick per release based on urgency.
Yes, in one click. Every published bundle stays archived, so you can revert every user to the last known good version immediately. Devices that fail to launch cleanly after applying a hotfix revert to the last good version on their own and stop trying to install the broken bundle, without waiting for a human to notice. Every rollback is logged with actor, timestamp, and bundle for audit.
Live Updates ship JavaScript, HTML, and CSS changes — the portion of your app that runs inside a WebView. Native code fixes (Swift, Kotlin, Java) still require a new store submission. For teams on Capacitor, Ionic, or Cordova, the large majority of day-to-day bugs live in the JavaScript layer and are hotfixable over-the-air.
No per-release metering. Every Capawesome Cloud plan includes unlimited Live Updates within your monthly active user (MAU) allowance — publish a fix at 2am and another at 4am without watching a counter. See the pricing page for MAU tiers.
