JotForm Apps is a new platform launched by the website which lets you build interactive internal or external apps for your forms. You can now build cross platform apps that can gather data about almost anything. The no code app builder of JotForm lets you create and host apps from templates or from scratch. You can add interactive component like dropdown, buttons, cover images, videos, and more.
Each app that you create will be connected to a form and whenever you receive a response it will alert you via email. The app that you create here is primarily meant to run in browsers but you can set it on your phone’s home screen as a shortcut for faster access. Common templates such as booking system, feedback form, wait list form, ordering system, it cetera can be made easily using JotForm apps builder.
JotForm is a very popular form builder that is used for personal as well as professional projects. The only thing that was missing till now was and interface which you can now build with the help of God for maps. You can make internal apps with this and hosting them on JotForm platform which will collect data directly in the forms for various purposes. Hand in this post I will show you how to use it.
JotForm apps are available to all these JotForm plans even the free one. However, since free plan can only have 5 forms; you will be only able to create 5 apps. To increase this limit, you will eventually have to switch to the premium plans. Also free apps can only receive 100 responses as mentioned in the free plan of JotForm.
