How to Create a Custom Branded Coaching App with QuickCoach
Most coaches who run their business on a coaching platform face the same silent problem: every time a client opens their app, they see someone else's brand. Not yours.
That changes with QuickCoach Pro. The QuickCoach app gives coaches the ability to build a fully customised client app, complete with their own name, logo, and colours, without hiring a developer, waiting for App Store approval, or paying per-user licensing fees.
This guide walks you through exactly how to set it up.
What Is the Custom Branded App Feature?
When you're on QuickCoach Pro, your clients don't install the QuickCoach app, they install your app. What that looks like in practice:
From your client's perspective, it's indistinguishable from a purpose-built app. From your perspective, it takes about five minutes to configure.
The app installs via the device's browser rather than the App Store or Google Play Store. This means instant availability, no review delays, and lower ongoing costs that QuickCoach doesn't pass on to you.
Device Requirements
Before getting started, here's what your clients will need:
iPhone: Safari browser, iOS 11.3 or later.
Android: Chrome, Samsung Internet, or Brave browser, Android 4.4 or later with Play Services.
The vast majority of active smartphones meet these requirements easily.
How to Set Up Your Custom Branded App
Step 1: Go to Account Settings
Log into the QuickCoach app at app.quickcoach.fit. In the left navigation, click the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar.
Step 2: Open the Customise Client App Menu
Inside Account Settings, click "Customize Client App", then click "App" to access your app customisation options.
Step 3: Name Your App
Type your business name or chosen app name into the "Name Your App" field. This is the name that appears under your app icon on your client's home screen.
Step 4: Upload Your Logo
Click "Upload Logo", then "Browse" to select your logo file. Your logo should be a square PNG image. Once uploaded, you'll see a preview of how it looks as an app icon and on the splash screen.
If your logo has a transparent background, it'll look cleaner against whatever background colour you choose next.
Step 5: Choose Your Theme Colour
Your theme colour is the primary colour used throughout the client-facing app. You can type in a hex colour code directly, use the colour slider, or pick from a visual colour wheel.
Not sure what your hex code is? Upload your logo to an online colour picker tool and it'll identify the exact codes from your image.
Step 6: Choose Your Background Colour
The background colour applies to the splash screen and some background elements. Many coaches use white (#ffffff) or a light neutral that complements their theme colour.
Step 7: Save and Launch
Review the live preview, then click "Save and Launch App". Your branded client app is available instantly.
How Do Clients Get the App?
When your clients open their personal account link in a compatible browser, they'll automatically see a prompt to install your app. They tap through a short install flow and your app icon appears on their home screen.
QuickCoach Pro also includes a customisable Canva installation guide template you can brand and send to new clients before they get started.
Can You Update the App Later?
Yes, as often as you like. If you rebrand or want to refresh your colour scheme, head back to Account Settings and make the changes. Note that existing clients will need to uninstall and reinstall the app for changes to take effect fully.
Why This Matters for Your Coaching Business
Branding isn't vanity, it's trust. When a client installs an app with your name and logo on it, the message is clear: this coach is established, professional, and invested in their experience.
It costs nothing beyond your Pro subscription, takes minutes to set up, and every new client you onboard gets the full branded experience from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do clients need to download anything from the App Store?
No. The QuickCoach app installs directly from the browser.
Why can't I find the QuickCoach app in the App Store?
QuickCoach is built as a Progressive Web App (PWA), which installs via the browser. This means your branded version is live instantly with no store review required.
What if my client doesn't see the install prompt?
This usually happens because the link opened in an in-app browser (such as via Facebook Messenger) rather than Safari or Chrome. Clients can still install manually using the "Add to Home Screen" option in their browser's share menu.
Does the coach-facing app also show my branding?
No. The branding customisation applies to your clients' app only. Your own coach dashboard continues to display the standard QuickCoach interface.
