What’s New

Huge improvements for our Mobile Apps support this week! a brand new Framework 7 with native App Connect integration is here for you!
No more coding in Framework7 to get things done, but plug in to the visual App Connect power!

Completely rewritten from the ground up, we introduce you the new Framework 7 version 5 with App Connect!

Now both frameworks natively talk to each other so you can use the power of App Connect, its events, dynamic attributes and actions straight in Framework 7!
Even better you can now run full blown App Connect Flows in Mobile Apps with Framework 7! We even created a lot of special Flow actions for Framework 7 to allow you to call its dialogs and actions.
Also most Framework 7 components are now available as native App Connect components with their properties, events and actions! More to come in the upcoming updates as well!

The new integration is now available as preview framework called Framework 7 v5 with App Connect.
So try it our and let us know what you think!
