App Creation - Overview

A new generation of Como-powered apps is now available! It is based on a new React technology and has 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.
