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 an app once, with a single code base, and the app then runs flawlessly on both iOS and Android devices. This means you don't have to develop an app for each operating platform, plus you only make updates to an 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

This built-in feature saves time and trouble, as adding offline capabilities to an app is considered one of the most difficult aspects of modern mobile app development. The software is so innovative, its offline apps features were recognized with the InfoWorld Technology of the Year Award.

6) Use an App Creator with Built-In Security

The Alpha Anywhere app maker has a built-in security framework, so apps include enterprise security without you having to know programming skills.

7) Get Free App Templates

If you don't like building an app from scratch, Alpha Anywhere software offers free app templates, so you don't always have to start from scratch when you make new apps. These are great starting points when you need to build apps for data collection, inspections, online ordering, and more. 

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

Alpha Software believes that developers should have the freedom they need to explore and prototype new app ideas without having to worry about R&D costs or gaining budget approval for a new app idea. 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. They can then test it without any additional investment. Once they're ready to deploy their app, they can deploy to Alpha Cloud for as little as $99/month.
