Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have used Jotform Apps for several years, and were delighted to see them unveil Apps. We deployed our first app as a service for event attendees. Some observations: Easy to publish and access: The Power Web App platform used by Jotform makes apps simple to deploy. For our use case, this was preferable to publishing native apps in app marketplaces. Relatively easy to build: The builder interface, while slightly idiosyncratic, is effective. It works much the same as Jotform Apps' form builder--the familiarity is helpful. Limited power: Essentially, an App is a collection of links, pictures, and documents. These can be displayed as larger or smaller buttons. Links can point to Jotform forms, other pages in the app, or external URLs. Customization options for all of these items are limited. So, for instance, we displayed maps as pictures and a schedule as a PDF. Well enough, but this results in something like a mobile-friendly website more than a fully featured app.
