New Feature Announcement: Tablet Apps
Creating a complete digital experience is all about meeting your users on their preferred channel and device. And when it comes to apps — we know that mobile device adoption leads the way. But tablets have slowly and silently risen to equal prominence, both at work and at home. Tablets are now more preferred, over laptops and desktops, within the home. And at work, tablet adoption has skyrocketed with the rise of mobile workforces.
We have recently announced a series of innovations that will improve the design, development, and accessibility of apps built on Thunkable. Tablet view is one of the most exciting innovations for our users. That is why we are proud to announce tablet app development capabilities are now available on the Thunkable platform. You can now build custom, native applications for both mobile devices and tablets.
Innovative employers are rapidly adopting tablets to equip their mobile workforce. They realized that employees need connectivity and convenience to execute their job. At the same time, more employees than ever before don’t sit at a traditional desk and don’t need access to a workstation. Utilizing a tablet gives their teams the power of workstations with the connectivity & convenience of mobile.
It is now common for employees at your favorite store, in the rental car return line, or even on the other end of your customer service call to be equipped with only a tablet. Tablets have all the benefits of ‘on the go’ mobile devices with the power of laptops & desktops.
Our users’ apps need to be available everywhere, on every device. A recent study related to end-users showed that 52% of North American households had at least one tablet in their home. Additionally, time spent on tablets at home shows the most popular apps are games, leisure activities (like reading, videos, etc), and organization/productivity apps. We have seen thousands of apps built on Thunkable be a perfect solution for all three of these categories, and the extension to the tablet would increase user adoption.
Our tablet development capability is now available for all Pro, Business, and Enterprise users.
