About this Template

Introduction

Headstart Mobile - a Native UI Mobile Kit template that you can use as a kit for any mobile-centric Bubble app. It is designed to give you a jumpstart on your next mobile app project. This template is versatile and easy to customize to fit your needs.
The template showcases how a Bubble app might incorporate native features like push messages, getting the current location, Face ID/Touch ID on login, etc.

Setup Guide

Once you have bought or added a template to your account, you will see a dropdown in the New Application popup that lets you pick a template as the basis for the new application.
