We led the way to the mobile revolution nearly two years ago, and we knew it was just the beginning. Today, we stand ready to empower you with complete freedom & control over branding, designing, and launching your school’s app.
In our latest release back in June, we enabled you to edit your app’s screens and add a variety of visually appealing sections and widgets. We also launched our powerful Theme Explorer to allow you to customize your school’s app’s background, text colors, and typography.
Now, it’s time for us to step up the game! We are excited to introduce the following mind-blowing features so you can:
Let’s jump into key updates to see how you can get the most out of our all-new Mobile App Builder.
Enjoy Complete Control And Design Freedom
The “Add screen” functionality you asked for
You can add screens to your app by using pre-made screen templates or by creating them from scratch. Our section and widget library allows you to create screens however you want.
Your branded app, your design rules
App design goes beyond colors, logos, and visuals. The upgraded Mobile App Builder matches the evolving needs of every business, every brand, and every project.
Every screen is fully customizable as our Site Builder, so you can edit and tailor every app screen by adding ready-made template sections or widgets or even building your layout.
Here’s a sneak peek 👇
A rich pool of beautifully designed template zones awaits you to showcase your product offerings, the variety of your course categories, your school’s blog, or even give your audience accessibility touchpoints (e.g., access the downloaded or favorite course, or even check their progress).
💁 If you want more ideas on how to customize your app to make your courses stand out check our latest blog.
App navigation under your control
The main navigation of our app resides in the bottom tab bar. You can now completely customize the tab bar by selecting which screens will be listed there and how their bottom tab bar icons will look like.
So basically you can build the main navigation for your app in a way that works best for your specific needs.
Build a secondary navigation
The “More” screen of the app is completely editable so that you can build a secondary navigation for your app.
In this section, you can add screens and also incorporate external links that may not be part of the main navigation but are still crucial for your app users to access.
Tailor your app’s starting screen to engage with your learners effectively
Your app users need a great onboarding experience. Also, it might be the case that you have different segments of users that you would like to have a slightly different experience on the app.
That’s why we’ve introduced the ability to control the starting screen of the app. So your app’s Home screen is now completely dynamic!
For example, if you have different user segments that you want to have a different starting screen, this is something that you can do from the “App navigation” settings. Using tags, you can build a customized navigation for different users within the app.

With this section, you can display a list of links with important materials and resources about your school you wish to promote on the app. Pro-tip: add it to your “More” screen to build a secondary navigation or wherever you like.

We’re adding new section options to display media and texts. Now you can take advantage of lists format to better showcase your course content.
