# Share as Web

> Publish your Rocket.new mobile app as a shareable web preview so testers can open the build in a browser without installing an APK or IPA.

Rocket deploys your mobile app as a browser-accessible web preview that anyone can open without installing anything. This is useful for sharing with testers, stakeholders, or clients without waiting for [App Store](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/launch-mobile/apple-store.md) or [Google Play](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/launch-mobile/google-play.md) review. You can push updates to the same URL at any time.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Mobile apps are always hosted on Rocket's Netlify account. You cannot connect your own Netlify account or a custom domain for mobile app web previews.
