Mobile app (Android)

Room Form Frontend

The Simple B&B Admin app allows you to manage your B&B directly from your Android device. It securely connects to your WordPress site using the REST APIs of the Simple BNB Rental plugin.

Requirements

Before using the app, make sure that:

  • The Simple BNB Rental plugin is installed and active on your WordPress site
  • Your site is accessible via HTTPS
  • You have created an Application Password in WordPress

You can create an Application Password from:

WordPress → Users → Profile → Application Passwords

First login

The first time you log in, you will be asked for:

  • API Base URL Enter the full URL of the plugin's REST API, including the final path. You must also manually write the '/wp-json/simpbnb/v1' part (it is not automatically added by the app).

example: https://www.tuosito.com/wp-json/simpbnb/v1

If WordPress is installed in a subfolder, include it:

example: https://www.tuosito.com/bnb/wp-json/simpbnb/v1

  • Username Enter your WordPress username.

  • Application Password Enter the Application Password generated in your WordPress profile.

example format: 'abcd efgh ijkl mnop qrst uvwx'

Enter it exactly as provided (including spaces) or paste it directly.

After entering your credentials, press Test connection to verify access.

If the test is successful, you can proceed with the login. The app will securely save your credentials on your device.

Available features

The current version of the app allows you to:

Dashboard

  • View an overview of your B&B's configuration.

Room management

  • View all rooms
  • View the details of a room
  • Edit the details of a room (e.g. base price, minimum nights, check-in/check-out times, and more)
  • Create new rooms (you can upload the image of the room using the Camera or using an image in the device gallery)
  • Delete a room (you can only delete a room if there are no current bookings for that room)

Bookings

  • View bookings
  • View booking details
  • Monitor the status of reservations. At the moment it is possible to change the status of the booking (Pending, Confirmed, Cancelled...) and the status of the payment.
  • Add or delete a reservation

Secure connection

The app communicates with your WordPress site via REST API and encrypted HTTPS connection. Credentials are securely saved using Android's secure storage system.

Troubleshooting

Connection failed

Check that:

  • The site URL is correct
  • The site uses HTTPS
  • The Simple BNB Rental plugin is active
  • The Application Password is valid

The app does not save the password in plain text, does not share data with third parties, and communicates exclusively with your WordPress site.

All data remains on your server.
