Should you try Rork?
Rork focuses on phone apps from start to finish. You talk to an AI bot to shape your screens. Then you push the build to mobile stores.
Phone apps must do more than look pretty. They need to work when the web drops. They must also send alerts and keep users safe.
Test your real phone flows before you say yes. Check taps, store rules, and small screens. Make sure your team can pay for extra build credits.
It is best for small teams that want to ship a phone app very fast. Try it on one small task first. Use data you can safely share. Check the result before you pay.

What to check before you commit.
A shiny demo shows the best case. Your job may be less neat. Check where your data goes. Ask what happens when a task fails. Read the limits before you pay.
Credits pay for AI build time, not for finished parts.
A working build may still fail strict app store rules.
Hard native phone tools may push past what chat can do.
