The last few weeks have been, in a word, interesting. With the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the world, and hitting the United States hard in the last few weeks, people are being encouraged to socially distance themselves and work from home when possible.

The last few weeks, we’ve been focusing our efforts on a new feature called Group Containers. As we wrap up our series, we thought now would be a good time for a brief summary of everything we’ve discussed so far. We started by explaining, “why now?”. It’s simple: when App47 started, the companies that were […]
We’ve been talking a lot about Group Containers over the last few weeks. One thing we focused on was why we’re building this feature.

We’re going to go ahead and assume that you have the first two recommendations–decide which devices (iOS, Android, etc.) you’ll support, and establish ownership of those devices–done already. While important for companies that are just […]
It’s hard to believe, but App47 turns nine this month! We opened our doors in January of 2011. There has been a lot of hard, fun work over the last nine years–almost a decade!–to build App47 up from its roots as a mobile startup into the company it is today. Now is a great time […]
The book is closed on 2019, and we’ve enjoyed a restful holiday season over these last few weeks. The end of December provided a well-deserved rest and recovery period for the team.
