WHAT IS GUIDEBOOK?
Without the requirement for technical knowledge, iOS and Android apps may be created using Guidebook, a self-service application creation platform. The platform, which is supported by web and mobile tools, focuses particularly on “guide” apps across a variety of use cases. For participants of trade exhibitions and conferences, event planners may construct applications, and in just a few simple steps, universities, schools, venues, and employers in the enterprise sector can develop solutions very comparable to these. Using a WYSIWYG drag and drop builder, Guidebook provides a variety of app templates that can then be tweaked to include functionality and branding.
Before sending apps to Guidebook’s online publication queue, material may be prepopulated with session scheduling data and lists. With dynamic elements like social feeds, real-time polls, surveys, and maps, apps may then be updated and renewed to keep users interested. Real-time updates guarantee quick content refresh rates while providing analytics and analytical feedback on app usage. The next “full service” feature is a centralized content repository, which is followed by more sophisticated capabilities like a custom icon library and SSO/SAML compatibility. Additionally, whether online or off, the Guidebook companion iOS and Android app offers cached access to published guides, timetables, to-do lists, and interactive maps.
