How Jotform Apps Differs from Jotform Mobile Forms

October 19, 2022

Although Jotform Apps and Jotform Mobile Forms may appear similar at first glance, they’re completely different.

What Is Jotform Apps?

Jotform Apps is an app builder that allows you to create your own mobile apps. You can use it, for example, to create portals to your sites, documents, and forms for easy access.

Using the Progressive Web App (PWA) technology, app users can choose to install your app on their mobile devices and use it like a native app.

Users who chose not to install your app can still access it in their web browser.
Note: Publishing apps in app stores, like Apple App Store or Google Play, is currently not supported.

To learn more, see Creating and Publishing Jotform Apps.

What Is Jotform Mobile Forms?

Jotform Mobile Forms is Jotform’s main mobile app which allows you to take most of the same actions you do on the web version of Jotform such as creating, editing, and viewing forms and submissions, etc.
