Frequently Asked Questions

OpenV2 is an AI development platform for native mobile apps. Describe your idea, review the design, and use Native Build Mode for iOS with Swift and SwiftUI or Android with Kotlin. Add V2 Cloud for a managed app backend.

OpenV2 is for everyone — from founders and indie hackers who want to build their app in hours, to professional developers looking to prototype 10x faster. No coding experience required, but developers will love the full code access under the hood.

Not at all. OpenV2 uses conversational AI — just describe what you want your app to do in plain text or voice, and the platform builds it for you. If you do know how to code, you can always edit the generated code directly for full control.

You can build almost any type of mobile application:

• E-commerce & marketplace apps
• Social networking apps
• Productivity & task management tools
• Fitness & health trackers
• Restaurant & delivery apps
• Educational platforms
• SaaS companion apps

If it runs on a phone, OpenV2 can help you build it.

The time depends on the scope of your app. Start with one screen and refine it in chat. Design previews help you review the UI; on Pro or Max, use the native simulator or emulator to test a working build.

Describe screens, navigation, data, and style in chat. OpenV2 AI creates and edits your project files. Review the design, then build and test the app in the native runtime on Pro or Max.

Pro and Max include code and development mode with access to project files. Edit code directly or ask OpenV2 AI to make changes. Free is for trying a first app.

New projects start from an app generated by OpenV2 AI. Describe your screens and behavior in chat; there is no separate template-selection step.

Use OpenV2 Companion for Windows to install a native device build on a USB-connected phone. Follow its signing and trust steps for iPhone, or USB debugging setup for Android. The simulator or emulator runs in the cloud and streams to your browser; it uses your plan's usage while it runs, as do native builds.

Ask in chat for layout, color and spacing changes, or type / and choose the Polish the design recipe. In the simulator, use Select Elements to tap a part of the app and ask for a change to exactly that element.

Describe the result you want and OpenV2 AI handles coding, planning, and image creation. The builder manages its AI service for you.

There are three plans. Free gives you a one-time trial to build and test a first app. Pro ($25/month) includes usage that resets every 5 hours and every week, plus iOS and Android, the simulator, private projects, the code editor and publishing. Max ($129/month) has five times the usage of Pro in both limits, everything in Pro, a priority build queue and priority support.

Plans include usage instead of credits. Messages that build your app, native builds, the cloud simulator while it runs, generated assets and voice conversations use it; plain conversation does not. Pro and Max have a 5-hour and a weekly limit that apply together (there is no monthly limit), and you see the percentage left and when it resets in your profile menu and in Settings. When a limit is used up, building and the simulator pause until it resets, and you can still ask questions. In-app V2 Cloud AI uses a separate balance.

Free includes a one-time free trial: chat for questions and ideas, native builds and the simulator for as long as the trial lasts, and public projects. Installing on a real phone, private projects, the code editor, ZIP export and publishing require Pro or Max.

Your limits reset on their own: the 5-hour window frees up within hours and the weekly limit each week. If you need more now, upgrade from Pro to Max, which has five times the usage. The meter in your profile menu shows which limit is the tightest.

Absolutely. You can cancel at any time from your billing settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, and no further charges will be made. Your projects and code remain accessible.

Payments are generally non-refundable once processed. However, if you experience a billing issue or are unsatisfied, please contact our support team — we handle requests case by case and want you to be happy.

On Pro or Max, press Publish and choose the App Store (an iOS project) or Google Play (an Android project). Each is a three-step wizard. An upload or a submission is not an approval: review and release stay with Apple and Google. You can also export the project to continue in Xcode or Android Studio.

OpenV2 compiles the saved native project for the selected workflow. Simulator builds run in the cloud and stream to browser preview; Companion installs a device build on a phone; the iOS publishing wizard prepares an App Store Connect upload. These outputs have different signing and distribution requirements.

App Store publishing requires your own Apple Developer membership and App Store Connect access. For Google Play distribution, you manage the developer account and store requirements in Play Console. Follow the current requirements shown by each store.

A native iOS or Android project is not a website. Share the OpenV2 project link, install a test build with Companion, or use the native publishing workflow. Any existing compatible web preview is separate from the native app.

Click "Sign In" from the homepage or any page. You can sign up instantly using your Google or GitHub account, or create an account with your email and password. It takes less than 10 seconds.

OpenV2 uses encrypted connections and secure account authentication. Read the Privacy Policy for details about account and project data, processing, retention, and your rights.

Yes. You can request account deletion at any time by contacting our support team. We will delete all personal data associated with your account in compliance with GDPR. Note that published apps will need to be removed from app stores separately.

You do. OpenV2 does not claim ownership of any applications or code generated through the platform. You retain full intellectual property rights to everything you build. We only use your inputs to generate outputs and improve the service.

OpenV2 creates native iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI and native Android apps with Kotlin. Design preview is separate from running a compiled native app.

On Pro or Max, export the project as a ZIP and continue in Xcode for iOS or Android Studio for Android. Your generated code belongs to you.

Use V2 Cloud for the managed app backend: authentication, database, files, and server logic. You can also ask OpenV2 to integrate an external API. Keep private credentials in server-side secrets.

Use a current browser with JavaScript, cookies, and a stable internet connection. OpenV2 displays native runtime preview in your browser. If preview fails, check the error and try a current Chrome or Edge version.

OpenV2 needs an internet connection for AI, project synchronization, and cloud preview. Exported native code can be developed locally. App offline behavior depends on how its data and features are implemented.
