This release was making the app builder look beautiful and help your users show love in the app! This has been one of the most major releases we’ve had in a while. Lot of changes – including breaking changes. Read on!
[!] Image Resolutions
This is a breaking change. Please update your app with the relevant images.
Image restrictions have been imposed on two images on the app. In the last release we published the recommendations of the image sizes to be used. However, you should update your app with the new image sizes. Wrong image sizes will lead to a sub-par experience.
We have added template images that you can pick from. These are powered by artificial intelligence to give you relevant images when picking a thumbnail.
Tab Banner Images
Required Resolution : 1000×3000 px
This is the same resolution as that of a YouTube or Playstore cover image.
You should use the banner image to quickly give a gist of what the tab is about. Keep it to 2-3 words on the tab banner.
Collection Banner
Required Resolution : 1920×1200
This is a landscape banner ideally to be used to give a quick information about your collection and why one should buy it.
You can now add videos as the banner.
If you are adding a video banner, please note
- Resolution must be as mentioned above
- The first few frames (~1 second) has a nice visual
App Icon
Required resolution : 512 x 512 px
This is the resolution required by Apple. You may include a border radius of 32px if you want rounded borders.
[!] Sunset on sales banner image
We’re discontinuing the sales banner image in favour of the more interactive collection video. We encourage you to mention the benefits of the collection in the video rather than elaborate banners and text. This helps bring out your personality.
Effective next release, 15 June, the sales banner will be discontinued completely. Please do update the collection video before that.
UI Changes
The app builder has a new theme. But that’s not the point.
We’ve promoted the most used features to the top and made it more accessible. So you won’t have to search for most options you use daily!
Laptop
A popular feature request was to make the builder usable on a laptop. We’ve done just that. The app builder loads smoothly on the laptop with a laptop specific interface.
Spoiler : Coming soon are keyboard shortcuts!
Payments
Payments are now visualized on the left hand side menubar. It is represented using a clean graph so that you can track your progress in one glance.
We also set targets you should hit to help you stay motivated and focused.
Livestreaming Co-hosts
Another popular request!
You can now see all the attendees of your livestream and invite any of them to cohost.
Once invited for a co-host, everyone can see you and the co-host. It’s like inviting someone to the stage along side you.
Now you can do podcasts, talk to your students or jam together on the livestream!
Selfies
That’s right, what’s complete without a selfie?
We’ve launched a simple way for your users to click a selfie after every live session or video and share it with their friends.
Social validations
Users can now rate your app and review your collections. It will be visible clearly to anyone looking to buy the collection. It’s a great push.
Referrals
If a user invites another user to your app, the new user gets 30% off on their purchase. The person who referred will get 30% off on the next purchase.
We make it super simple to share the app.
Sales Page
You can now add a sales page as a tab.
We recommend making this the first tab. This is great especially to tell people what this app is about. You ‘ll be required to answer 4 basic questions to set this up. It is based on research that helps you drive more sales.
Now you can be scientific about your sales. This is a must have if you run Facebook ads to drive traffic to the app.
Group Chat
Any user who pays for anything on your app will get exclusive access to a group chat inside the app. No frills just an awesome groupchat.
This is a great place for all the fans to chit-chat in this exclusive space 🙂
Themes
You can now choose from an array of beautiful themes curated and painstakingly designed just for you.
We will keep adding to this already long list. Do check it out!
