    Hello Paulgwilliamson,

    Jotform Apps lets you create a custom app in minutes. With our no-code drag-and-drop app builder, you can add forms, documents, links, images, and other elements to create a fully customized app for your company. Once you’ve created your app, it can be downloaded onto any smartphone, tablet, or computer in seconds. Whether you need an app for internal or external use — such as to give your team an easier way to collect data in the field or interact with customers — you won’t need a team of developers to build the perfect app to match your needs and branding.

    Not only does Jotform Apps let you build your own app without any coding knowledge, it also integrates seamlessly into other powerful Jotform products — like Jotform Tables for managing submissions, Jotform Report Builder for generating reports, Jotform PDF Editor for turning submissions into PDF documents, Jotform Approvals for managing approval flows, and so much more. Whether you already use our forms or are looking to create some, you’ll have a whole suite of tools to help you collect and manage data with ease. All of Jotform’s products include our intuitive drag-and-drop no-code interface, so you’ll enjoy the same smooth experience no matter which tool you’re using.

    There are a couple of ways to create an app. Please follow down the instructions shared below to create an app from Form Builder.

    In the Publish tab of the Form Builder, there’s a Create App section where you can quickly create a new app using the active form.

    It’s possible to create multiple apps with one form. This section shows the apps that contain the active form and gives you the option to create a new app.

    Please follow down the steps shared below to create an app from My Forms:

    1. Go to the My Forms page.
    2. Select the form.
    3. Expand the Apps menu.
    4. Click on the Create New App button.

    Alternatively, you can use the Create an App option under the Publish section of the form’s More menu.

    Additional options will be shown if there are any apps that contain the selected form.

    Since Jotform’s apps can contain multiple forms, it’s possible to select multiple forms on the My Forms page and create a new app that contains the selected forms. Just click on the Create a New App button in the toolbar at the top of the page after selecting the forms you want to include.

    My Apps page is where all of your apps are listed. App owners can take various actions on the My Apps page, such as viewing, editing, deleting, renaming, and sharing apps.

    You can access the My Apps page using the quick access menu found in the upper left corner of the My Forms page.
