App Creation - Overview

Nadine Zeiger

A new generation of Como-powered apps is now available—based on a new React technology and with newly designed screens and flows to provide a better user experience. The app provides significant improvements in appearance, usability, and performance, along with flexibility in design.

Design Concept

Instead of pre-defined layouts, the new design concept provides a home screen based on widgets—which present a concise dashboard of data, along with images and buttons. It also offers better navigation options (with a navigation bar), a scrollable home screen, and more.

Requirements

Existing businesses can request to migrate their apps if they don’t require a capabilitity that isn’t yet supported (see below). A new gen app requires dedicated Hub configurations and submitting it to the app stores as a new gen app.
