Link to any secure webpage from your mobile app
Customize the tab’s title and icon to match your brand
Give your members a richer experience inside your app
✨ This lives in the Admin under Mobile & TV Apps > Customization
🔁 No app update or resubmission needed
📱 Changes go live within seconds
Why External Webpage Matters
Your mobile app is a direct extension of your brand and business. Your members love your app because it’s convenient and focused. Now you can add one external webpage, alongside your video catalog, community, and calendar.
Examples:
Link to a merch store, like one on Shopify, Squarespace, or Etsy
Share a blog page
Show a resource list or curriculum
Embed a survey
It’s your business, inside your app.

Limitations ❌
Here’s what’s not possible (yet):
Not Included | Reason |
More than one external tab | Limited to one to preserve user focus and avoid app rejection |
Uploading your own icons | You must choose from our curated icon library |
Non-HTTPS links | Only secure links are allowed to ensure safety and approval |
Translations for custom titles | Custom names appear in your primary language only |
Member-gated visibility | Tab is public to all users regardless of plan or tag |
TV apps support | Currently mobile only |
⚠️ Avoid linking to anything misleading, broken, or inappropriate. This will cause your app to be rejected by Apple or Google.
Best Practices 💡
Keep it clear and useful: The tab should add value. No not distract from your content and community.
Use mobile-optimized pages: So members don’t have to pinch and zoom
Choose familiar labels: Like “Store,” “Blog,” or “Resources”
Use only trusted HTTPS sites
Test your link before saving to make sure it loads smoothly
Don’t go weird: No personal sites, random memes, or unrelated content. Your app is still subject to app store review and approval. App stores will reject weird, misleading, broken, off-brand, or inappropriate experiences.
