Dear Appery.io Community,

We are excited to announce the new features included into our new release, which is already here. So, please make sure you do not miss them:

• Ionic 5 Text Area component. This is something that many of you have been asking for. The component is available to all our users and can be found in the App Builder PALETTE.
• Improved performance of Ionic 4/5 preview. And this is great news since loading the project preview takes less time now, making your development experience even more positive and productive.
• Improved Ace editor with added autocomplete option: 
• Added rich editor for variable’s value in Ionic 5 projects. Now, if you need to provide a long line of code or add some object or array to your variable, just click the three-dot button next to the Value field:
• Full support of Android 11.
• A bonus feature is the possibility to quickly add the predefined dark theme for your apps by using our Dark Theme plug-in:

And, the last but not the least: bug fixes (not too much, though).

If you want to display specific content to individual users, we recommend our short tutorial on how to set up user roles in Appery.io applications.

With our new plug-ins, you can easily add a video to your Appery.io application by uploading a file from your computer or inserting a YouTube/Vimeo video. Watch our new tutorial to learn more about these plug-ins!

Dear Appery.io Community!

We are excited to announce a new, no-code era for Appery.io!

From now on, you are free to try out something brand new, something that will definitely change the way you develop yet so much easy to use: Appery.io Templates!

With this release, we are introducing our first series of ready-to-go templates. Now, you can enjoy the versatility and power of the Appery.io platform without even writing a single line of code; all our templates are fully functioning, so all you need to do is select the template you want and hit the Create button.

Just like that, you’ll find yourself inside a ready-made app, which you’ll be able to test in a browser right away. You can also go even further and export it to check on your device:

But wait, there’s even more!

Any of the offered templates can be easily customized according to your personal preferences! You are free to rename the app and modify its UI and/or behavior, and it’s so easy that you’ll have a brand-new, unique application in no time at all!

Customizing the templates is fun and will not require any special coding experience or advanced development knowledge.

Using Appery.io Templates is a great opportunity to get a highly-functional, professional-looking mobile app without needing to troubleshoot the debris of long pieces of code slogging through long hours of trial and error.

And last but not least: to make your first-hand experience of customizing templates even more positive and successful, we have prepared step-by-step instructional videos and detailed tutorials for more ideas for your personalized applications:

Meditation & Sleep App: the app to help in practicing self-guided meditations or relaxation techniques.

Quiz App: can be used to build professional-looking quizzes that can be taken on any device.

CheckList App: use it for creating checklists with reminders and for tracking daily activities.

Duties App:  a simple yet efficient duties management app so that all your daily routine tasks can be easily arranged.

And, of course, stay tuned – more templates are coming soon!

We at Appery.io, have been working hard to fulfill our promise of a consistently updated and well-running platform and are thrilled to announce that the option of a free upgrade for Ionic 4 projects to their Ionic 5 version is available for all our customers!

The best news is that from now on, you are free not only to create separate Ionic 4 and Ionic 5 apps but also to migrate your Ionic 4 project(s) to their Ionic 5 version while keeping both apps active. All you need to do is accept the offer to upgrade from under your Apps page and then confirm:

Not sure how this move can benefit your development practice? Then we recommend that you check out our blog post here to learn about the main advantages of the Ionic 4 > Ionic 5 upgrade.

If you can’t wait to migrate to Ionic 5 but still have some questions about the upgrade process, please visit this page for more details.

And last but not least, with this release, we are also introducing a new feature that you, our users, have suggested to us: our Theme Generator for Ionic 4/5 apps. Creating custom themes and reusing them is now much simpler and more visual.

We’re so excited for you to start using this upgrade! Our goal is always to provide a highly usable low-code app builder, and your feedback helps us get there. As always, please let us know if you have any ideas or questions, and stay tuned for more updates coming soon!

Happy developing!
