    Hi Sandra

    You can use the app builder function (accessible through www.jotform.com/app) to share a form, or a group of forms, as a progressive web app with your end-users.

    It works like this:

    1. Choose an icon or upload an image for the app, then type down a name and description.

    2. Select the forms that you want to share and add them to the app.

    3. Preview how the app looks on different devices.

    4. Use the app link, invitation or QR code to share the app.

    5. You can see all your apps on My Apps, by using the navigation on the header.

    6. End-users will receive a link, a QR code, or an invitation to the app. The form list will open up. A few seconds later, a modal will ask the end-user whether he wants to add the app or not.

    7. It will then be added to the home screen of your device, acting as an app, so end-users can easily access your forms:

    This feature was just opened up for a small group of users. I hope you enjoy it!
