Is License/Permission needed if I develop mobile app for a wordpress theme?

Hello,

If I am planning to develop a mobile app for some popular WordPress themes that are sold here, do I need to have a permission? Keep in mind that there is no code or any type of work that is taken from any theme.

If you’re creating a mobile app for your own website using a theme you’ve purchased, you’re in the clear. You’re not redistributing the theme’s code or assets—you’re simply building a custom app for personal or business use, which doesn’t violate any terms.

However, if you use the theme’s name, logo, or branding in your app name or marketing, you may need permission to avoid trademark issues.

If you plan to sell the app as a commercial product—especially through marketplaces like CodeCanyon or the App Store—you may need permission, depending on how closely it’s tied to the theme.

You need permission from its original author ( written ) to transfer the item to something else.
You’re not allowed to sell someone else work.
