2) Build Cross-platform Apps

How to build cross-platform apps

When you're building mobile apps with Alpha Anywhere, you'll craft cross-platform web and mobile applications that run on any mobile operating system.

This saves significant time, because you develop using a single code base. The single base produces iOS apps and Android apps that run flawlessly. This means you don't need to create an app for each operating system. You only update the app once, and it updates on all platforms. You can build all types of apps with outstanding user experiences and custom app design. 

3) Create Apps with Popular Smartphone and Tablet Features

  • GPS mapping 
  • time and date stamping
  • on-device calculations
  • SMS push notifications
  • rapid data collection (one handed data entry)
  • cool new features like AI, ML, or virtual reality
  • and more.

5) Build Apps that Can Work Without a Connection

InfoWorld Tech Award KnockoutAlpha Anywhere app making software can work with or without a WIFI or cell connection. This built-in feature saves time and effort. Adding offline capabilities to an app is one of the hardest parts of mobile app development. The innovative software received the InfoWorld Technology of the Year Award for its offline app features.

6) Use an App Creator with Built-In Security

Alpha Anywhere has a built-in security framework, that includes enterprise security. You don't need programming skills or cybersecurity expertise to ensure security.

7) Get Free App Templates

If you don't want to build an app from the beginning, Alpha Anywhere software has free app templates. This way, you don't always have to start from scratch when creating new apps. These are great starting points for data collection, inspection, online ordering, and dispatch apps.

8) Don't Pay a Thing Until You Deploy Your App

Alpha Software believes developers should freely explore and prototype new app ideas. They should not worry about R&D costs or budget approval. Developers don't have time to wait for corporate budget approvals to start developing apps. Unfortunately, without a prototype, often budgets don't get approved. Entrepreneurs also want to build a prototype of their SaaS app without having to make an up-front investment.

We let anyone prototype or develop a working app for free. Then test it without any additional investment. Once you're ready to deploy your app, simply deploy to Alpha Cloud for as little as $99/month.

9) Benefit from Extensive Training Tools

Alpha Software has mobile app development training packaged for how you like to learn:

  • The Alpha Learning Center helps experienced developers or people new to application development take on-demand courses at their own pace. You'll learn how to add push notifications, social media integration and more.
  • Alpha Documentation is a rich knowledge base of product information, low-code development tutorials, and other reference materials to help you understand how to create mobile and web apps that perform like native apps.
  • Alpha Video Library on YouTube is a library of thousands of recorded seminars, demos, and how-to videos on app development, gathering user feedback, monetizing your app and more.
  • Alpha DevCon is an annual user conference for anyone using Alpha Software low-code or no-code technology to speed their organization’s digital transformation.

10) Work 1:1 with a Mentor

Alpha Software is the only low-code software vendor with a 1:1 mentoring program. We will assign an experienced developer to help you learn to build apps. They will show you how to use the software. They can also help you troubleshoot any problems you face while building. Finally, they will assist you in publishing your apps.
