We, therefore, decided to improve and enhance it so that our users were able to get the best results out of a combination of low-code development and a professionally-looking restaurant app. Here’s your chance to see for yourself.

Our updated Restaurant App template includes ready-to-use services and an easy-to-use UI. The template can be recreated within your Appery.io account in just a few simple steps:

1. Log in to your account, open the Apps tab, and click Create new app.
2. Select Templates > Restaurant App and hit the Create button:

In a moment, you can start testing the app that now features a new stunning UI, the cart, and the internationalization option:

The template uses and demonstrates Ionic, Appery.io Database, and Appery.io Server Code. Also, being a template, it offers a great number of customization options so that any small restaurant business owner could adapt it to his business needs and personal preferences.

Those who are only beginning their Appery.io journey and are unfamiliar with our platform can find detailed instructions in an accompanying document.

Please rest assured that you are the creator and you are the only owner of this application (actually, like any other app created with Appery.io).
For more details, you can check our Copyright, Trademark, and Content Ownership section here.

The article also explains how to export your custom restaurant application and publish it so that it can be accessed from any browser on any mobile device.

Please take a moment to try our updated template out and…

Bon appétit!

It’s not been long since Appery.io announced releasing the revolutionary ChatGPT Template and we are super excited today to let you know that our template has been upgraded!

Several days ago, a new ChatGPT model family was released, named gpt-3.5-turbo. The model is similar to the model used in the ChatGPT product and accessed with a new endpoint for interacting with ChatGPT models.

We, at Appery.io, made this enhancement available to our users and updated the template to keep up with the latest ChatGPT model from its creator, OpenAI!

The updated ChatGPT App template works out of the box like its predecessor did before and allows the creation of a bot app based on the OpenAI ChatGPT technology that already supports the new ChatGPT Turbo model.

Please check our template to enjoy the technology even more! It’s simple to get and free to try:

1. Sign up for free (if you haven’t yet).
2. Create a new app from under the Templates tab:

3. Enter your OpenAI API Key and you are ready to test the app:

Happy developing! And stay tuned – more templates are coming soon!

We are happy to present another new template, Offline Map App, that is designed to help with creating a mobile app that will allow downloading maps with further using them offline.

The template is made simple and easy to use. To create it, you will only need to log in to your Appery.io account (if you are new to Appery.io, here is the link where you can sign up to try us for free), and create your own offline map by selecting the Offline Map App under the Templates tab:

In a moment, you are almost ready for testing the app on your device (this app is operating with a native API, so it cannot be tested in the browser):

But if you want to go further and customize it (it is actually a template and was created for customizing), here are the detailed instructions that explain how to do it.

As a result, you can end up with a unique and attractive UI that will definitely stand out from all similar apps out there:

There is another great news we are happy to share with you today: the Autoupdate plug-in has been added to all Appery.io apps and is ready to be used.

Adding this plug-in is simple and requires zero effort on your part to set it up. But when added, it just gets the job done. 

The idea behind it is as simple as it can possibly be:

• You add the plug-in to your app and publish it so that your users can install it on their devices.
• Next time you need to make changes to your app you just make them and push the app updates.
• With the next app run on the device, the plug-in automatically detects there is a new update on the server and lets the end user make decisions on whether to download it from the server and then install it on their device or postpone this action:

Autoupdate plug-in on the device

Please check out our document here to learn how to work with the Autoupdate plug-in.

Are you one of the companies already accepting online payments for your goods or services? Or just considering integrating Stripe’s APIs into your business routine? It is in that case that our new StripeShop App template can be of great use and we strongly urge you to check it out.

In addition, this template is made to be low-code so you’ll need no programming knowledge to earn money from your own Stripe-based app created with this plug-in.

Using the template, you will be able to securely charge money from a user’s credit card to your Stripe account using integrated backend services.

The template is accompanied by a step-by-step tutorial explaining how you can connect your actual Stripe API, as well as how to manage your database. Those who are new to Appery.io can learn how to customize the UI to meet their specific needs. Go check the instructions and you will see that setting up your own Stripe-based app is as easy as it can possibly be.

ChatGP technology is on everyone’s lips nowadays and we are happy to let you know that Appery.io is the first no-code mobile app maker platform introducing the ready-to-use and easily customizable template for creating a ChatGPT-based app. Using the template is extremely simple and just in several minutes, you will be able to test your own ChatGPT application without having to write a single line of code. Isn’t that a wonder?

Note, that you can try using the platform for no charge, and if you are new to Appery.io and interested, click here to subscribe for our 2-week Free trial.

When in the platform, go to the Apps tab, select the predefined ChatGPT App template, and confirm:

In a moment, the app will be created with the autogenerated name. If you like, you can rename your project later under its General tab or do it now.

Well … it’s all set and you can proceed with testing your app.

Testing ChatGPT Template from Appery.io

Click the TEST button to open the app preview in the browser and play around with its different options. There are three of them that are available for adjusting: Model, Creativity, and Max Tokens.

In short: the quality of chatbot responses will vary depending on the options settings. But if you need more details, please refer to the OpenAI official documentation site.

Important!

To test this AI technology, obtaining an API key from the OpenAI portal is required. So, open this link (or go to the API Access section of your OpenAI account dashboard) and either generate a new API key or manage your existing API keys.

When done, copy and paste it into the API Key field and you are ready to test the template. Click the START button to begin. Note, that the template also has integrated text-to-speech and speech-to-text capabilities, so you are free to experiment with both entering text and dictating it:

While testing different options, note how the quality of responses is impacted by setting different values for Model, Creativity, and Max Tokens.

Modifying Template

To modify the template to create your own ChatGPT-like app, follow several simple steps below:

1. Delete the Home page. After you have defined what values of Model, Creativity and Max Tokens settings work for you best, loading all the parameters’ selections page becomes redundant. So, go to the App Builder Project view on the left, left-click to open the Home page menu, and delete it:

2. Modify the parameters’ default values. Open the Model and Storage > Storage tab and replace the default values with the ones that best work for you.

3. Save the app by clicking the SAVE button in the Toolbar.

Ready! Now, your app has been customized and you can install it on a device.

Installing your own GPT-based App

There are several options you can select from to review your own ChatGPT app on the device and below, you will find the most popular:

1. Export the app binary. To do it, click the EXPORT button in the Toolbar and select the type you prefer: Android or iOS:

Note that installing on iOS requires that you have an Apple developer account.

However, if you simply want to test how your app behaves on a device, be it an iPhone or an Android device, use our Appery.io Tester – it’s free and simple.

2. Test with the Appery.io Tester – the best option for quick testing your apps without needing to register your Apple or Android developer accounts. The app is free and can be installed on any device in a matter of several clicks. The links and instructions can be found on the preview page, you just have to click TEST again:

Select the needed option in the drop-down to download and install the testing app on your device. This should take less than a minute of your time.

When the app is installed, click the SCAN button and scan the QR code that was automatically generated for your app:

Here is what the app chatting looks like on a device when installed:

 Publishing as a web page widget

You might already know that any app that you build in Appery.io can be published as a mobile web app. This means the app will be hosted on a server and can be accessed from any browser on a mobile device.

But have you already tried adding the published app to any site of your choice as a widget? This is not difficult to do and can be very useful for your personal or business and look perfect. Please check this link to review what it can look like.

Please, visit this page for more details on modifying and customizing your ChatGPT-template.

Dear Appery.io Community,

We are excited to announce that our first Release of 2023 is already live and you are free to check out what new features and upgrades are already available to all Appery.io users!

First things first: we have successfully upgraded our App Builder to Ionic 6 and Angular 15, which resulted in many useful functional improvements and new features for your app-building experience. Most of them are not immediately noticeable, except in a few cases, but innovative and qualitative.

• The first improvement we would like to introduce is related to the system capability: thanks to upgrading to Angular 15, there will exist no limitations in importing npm packages and modules to your apps anymore.

Check here for some examples of how you can add the npm-modules to the projects created with Appery.io.

Updated Preview Page:

•  The serious upgrade that will hopefully be noticed and welcomed by you: our App Builder now has a very modern-looking editor mobile frame design. Besides, it now comes with an upgraded app preview page that is now user-friendlier and offers more functionality. From the preview page, now not only can you adjust your app’s UI on the device screen with further easy testing it on your device but also publish and share your app right from the preview:

• Moreover, those who decide to publish their project as a mobile web app will be able to share it right from the preview.

New and updated UI Components PALETTE

• Next, we are proud to announce that two new UI components have been added to our App Builder for Ionic: Audio and Video. These new components offer you rich customization options for your multimedia resources:

• The existing Datetime component has also been upgraded and now comes with two views to select from, Inline which opens an inline calendar, and Open in modal which opens the modal with a calendar and an editable label:

• One more enhancement: all the components that offer the option of entering strings now allow users to edit them inline right in the mobile frame, and that is a very handy time saver:

• The next three features refer to the components’ properties upgrades: 1) the Position property was added to many UI components like Checkbox, DataTable, etc.; 2) many UI components that contain labels, for example, Input and Link received the Font Size and Font Weight properties; 3) the Text in Editor property was added to several UI components. With this feature enabled, you will be able to finetune your app UI right in the editor even if this component also has some functional code added as its Text property:

Filtering feature added to OUTLINE and Mapping editor

• The OUTLINE view now comes with a useful feature of filtering components added to the screen. Just start typing the name of the component to retrieve its parent(s) on the tree and quickly locate the component you are looking for:

• Users struggling with cumbersome mappings may find the new Mapping editor option of filtering components (similar to how it is realized in the OUTLINE) particularly useful:

Other enhancements

• The next improvement is minor but comfortable: the Method selection can be changed after the function has been created in the CODE panel:

• Our last enhancement might also seem rather minor, but will definitely be found useful by our users: the ability to double-click on many of the UI components added to the mobile frame of our App Builder in order to speed up the process of customizing them. By double-clicking the Image component, for example, you can immediately access the Media Manager window and thus work with your custom image files more easily:

Oh man, that list was impressive, wasn’t it?

Well, we tried to do our best to make the features above functional and easy to use as much as possible, and hope you’ll enjoy using them.

Thank you for using Appery.io and Happy Developing!
