Add or change functionality in seconds. Customize your screens and tabs with your own design, features and elements. Build your own apps when and where you want. All you need is Internet connection and a laptop/PC. Nothing to download, install, or configure. Just open your browser, find www.snappii.com, register on the platform for free and start making apps. Make custom and native apps in minutes! While you are making an app, you can also simultaneously test and see it running on your mobile device with free Snappii’s Preview app.
2. BUILD APPS FOR ANY ANDROID OR IOS DEVICE AND ANY SCREEN SIZE
You can build an app specifically for a tablet, a smart phone or both. Create an app thatwill individually fit the screen sizes of iPads and Android tables, iPhone5 and Android smart phones. Device-specific apps can have the same functionality as well as different features for different canvases. This feature gives you a great number of opportunities for app design and functionality
3. BUILD ONCE AND THEN DEPLOY ANYWHERE
Once you’ve built an app, Snappii will generate native iOS and Android mobile app versions. With Snappii, you can simply create an app on the universal canvas and then check off the operating systems for which you want your app to be generated.
4. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF APP SECURITY & AUTHENTICATION
Snappii’s platform comes with many built-in security features. To protect your data, Snappii apps offer encryption, HTTPS communication, and Access Control Lists (ACls) to tabs and buttons, Login/ Logout, and OAuth2 Authorization.
5. CONNECT TO ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS & CLOUD APPLICATIONS
Build sophisticated data driven native apps that leverage data from both internal enterprise systems and cloud based applications. Snappii has already prebuilt some data connectors to connect to various web services. You can take advantage of these or upload your own connectors to retrieve and post data from web services, databases and cloud based apps. For example, with the SalesForce connector, you can obtain all necessary information about your leads or clients. Upload their contact info from your device immediately after your meeting, and the data will be automatically updated under your SalesForce account.
6. MAKE CHANGES AND UPDATES FAST AND WITH EASE
Making changes in an app takes literally minutes and doesn’t require any programming skills. Updating apps is possible with the click of a button. Simply click ‘Publish’, and your users will be immediately notified of a new version.
7. BUILD APPS 30 TIMES FASTER
Building apps without coding is 30 times faster! Make apps by dragging and dropping. It’s like drawing an app: add objects on the empty canvas, and Snappii will do the rest. No coding necessary for 99% of the apps. However, you can also add JavaScript and JS-plugin whenever necessary.
8. TEST A NEW APP WITH EASE

This lets you showcase your app to potential clients to make the initial sale or before the final product is released.
9. WORK IN ONLINE/OFFLINE MODES
