ThinΛpp is in the process of finalizing a shift in our overall strategy - from one-off custom apps to an even more affordable “solution”-based focus (we’ll still take on custom projects, just not as many). This will allow us to work with & share our technology with even more awesome people. As we prepare to roll out our new ordering system, contact us at contact@getthinapp.com or 1-312-857-3511 or 1-844-484-4627 (1-844-4THINAP) if you’re interested in having us create an awesome new mobile app just for you.

More about Web Apps & Hybrid Apps

ThinΛpp BΛSE is a pre-built Hybrid (native app + web app) App platform that makes it easy and affordable to create a custom mobile App - for any business, passion, interest, website or idea.

A Hybrid App (also referred to as an HTML5 App, Progressive Web App, Web App and Browser-based App) is one that is both web based (ie. a Web App built in the same coding languages that are used to create highly responsive and mobile-friendly websites) and “native” based (ie. built in coding languages like Apple’s X-Code/Swift or Google’s Android Studio, which were designed to exclusively build mobile applications for those respective devices).

A Web App (which makes up most of a Hybrid App) is an app that looks and feels just like any “Mobile” App that you would download from the App Stores, except you don’t actually get/download them from the App Stores - instead you can add them (or rather their App Icon) to your device’s home screen - and then access it via its App Icon to use the App version.

ThinΛpp BΛSE is 85% Web App + 15% Native App = Hybrid App

BΛSE is coded/built with the most popular web based languages and latest internet standards. This makes it more flexible, more affordable, faster to develop and more accessible than traditional “native” based Apps while still having the same look, feel and functionality of a Native App. And, yes, Apps made with BΛSE can also be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play (with the help of our ThinΛpp AppWrapr).

Mobile Websites vs Web Apps

As you can see above, the most noticeable difference (at first glance) between a typical Mobile Website and a Web App is that Web Apps are fullscreen (just like Native Apps). Note: You don’t have to download Web Apps - you “install” them (see the section on App Icons below for more on that).

As of May 18, 2016 - Google recently announced the launch of Instant Apps for Android, which will also be Apps you don’t have to download. Business Insider Article »

What makes ThinΛpp BΛSE so unique is that while the giants like Apple and Google battle for App dominance, we’ve made a product that is not platform/device specific - and works on everything - and is way more affordable, easy to make - and easier to understand. Google’s announcement simply proves that there is an increasing interest in creating Apps that do not need to be downloaded. However, ThinΛpp does have an App Wrapr version, which allows it to be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play.

App Icons

The next thing we wanted to tackle was making it easy to access a Web App.

Most people don’t even know Web Apps have their own App Icons, just like Native Apps. In fact, once it’s on your phone’s homescreen there’s no way to even tell the difference.

Image on left - This was previously the only known way to prompt a User to add a Web App’s Icon to your phone’s homescreen.

Image on right - BΛSE also has a custom full screen prompt that only appears if you are not in the Web App and automatically pulls your App Icon.

Note: Apple has not yet created a method for conveniently linking to a Web App (or Web App Icon) directly or starting the Add To Homescreen function from a link, however Google has recently made it possible for Android devices (and we’ll soon be adding this to BΛSE).

Up until recently there wasn’t even much support by Apple, Google and Microsoft for mobile browser based features that contribute to the web app experience (ie the browser on your cell phone). In fact, the evolution of the mobile browsers themselves had been fairly slow up until the middle of 2015. This could possibly be because Apple, Google and Microsoft’s focuses were all respectively elsewhere.

However, we, and a small movement of developers around the world, however have been eagerly tracking the progress of this technology with each new device (and mobile operating system) release...slowly improving until things finally arrived to a point where we felt the technology was good enough to present a really valuable solution/product.

Closing Summary

So we can go on and on - and there is a LOT more, but it would probably be better if you just test the live demo (close this window and the button is under the phone slider).

And, to summarize - We drew from 20 years of making websites (including some of the top, most innovative websites in the world), 50+ years of combined web development, internet/online, UI/UX design and internet marketing experience and a large amount of obsessive determination to create a custom coded, hand crafted product that is so complete it can be used out of the box or quickly adapted to practically any idea - thus making ThinΛpp BΛSE the most powerful, flexible website (and App) platform in the world.

Here are just some of the other features we took the liberty of pre-building into BΛSE:

Swipe / Touch capabilities
Real-time GPS Tracking
Full Screen “App” Mode
+App Icon Prompting
Web Services API

SMS Text Messages API
Robust Member Profiles
Authorize.net Payments
PayPal Payments Integration
E-Commerce Store
and much, much more.

Note: We opted not to tackle accelerometer, gyroscope, motion graphics, etc (ie. things commonly used in exercise and gaming Apps) as those don't make up the bulk of the Apps that are actually out there. However, with our new AppWrapr line all of those native features have or are currently being built in also!

OUR 2 THINΛPP SOLUTIONS

ThinΛpp BΛSE

Is built on a fully responsive website, which may just be the most impressive thing itself because it adapts to every screen, size and device and has all the latest technology from Javascript to JQuery, Ajax, Lightboxes, tons of Member based features, very visual based and clean, etc. And, of course comes with your very own App Icon/Version, which can be used and added to any device, mobile phone or mobile tablet.

ThinΛpp App Wrapr

This gives you the best of both worlds. We can put your BΛSE App(s) in the App Store(s) - and under our Developer Licenses, saving you another $99+. We have testing, deployment, hosting, backups, security and pretty much everything you need - down to a science.

Request An Invite or Talk To Someone

Close this screen and scroll to the bottom of the Overview page to enter your email to receive an invite to test our live App Wrapr out, which is also how we’ll let you test your Native App(s) out before they are submitted and deployed (ie. made live).
Note: Screenshots will be posted here shortly and we should have a couple of live Apps in the various App Stores within the next few weeks.

So when you become a ThinΛpp Owner - you're getting a $70,000+ App/Website for about $499 + how much ever you decide to add/spend in exclusive customizations. There's currently no value like this in the world.
Note: The $499 is essentially our "license" fee for doing all this work upfront and ahead of time - and it helps us continue to improve the ThinΛpp Platform, as well as support it. We think it's a very small fee to ask. We're basically taking all the guess work out of the entire process and giving people what they need vs what they can afford to pay for.

How We Do It

Note: This approach below is optional and mostly meant to help pull/display important pages from your website inside your App (that you may not want to pay to fully re-create as an App feature). We also now have the ability to create fully native, mobile app content pages (ie. without the need for using any of your website pages!).

Image 1 (The Mobile Website)

Any responsive (ie. mobile-friendly) website typically will look like Image 1.

If your website isn’t responsive (ie. mobile-friendly; ie. a mobile website), then no worries, we can take care of that. However, if your website is mobile-friendly then we can do a quick (optional) upgrade/optimization to turn it into Image 2 (ie. a fully functioning Web App).

Image 2 (Web App Optimization)

Mostly what we’ll do to optimize your website (or mobile website):

1) Add some cushion to your top header, so when your website is opened inside a mobile app, the phone’s battery info and time don’t run into your logo, etc.

2) Make sure all your links stay inside of the Web App and App (ie. something most good developers don’t even know is possible).

3) Make external links bust outside of the App (otherwise the user could get trapped with no way to get back). Note: We have some premium upgrades that give you your own custom browser (sort of like Facebook) where when your users open an external link, they can simply hit the X to close it and still be right on the same page in your App.

4. And, last, but certainly not least - we make your mobile website - full screen! Meaning it'll take up the entire phone’s screen. Notice how in Image 1, there’s a top browser/URL bar - and a short-cut/bookmarks bar.

All of these things take away from the immersive experience - not to mention valuable screen real estate when your users are using your website.

Image 3 (Native Mobile App)

Finally, once your website or mobile website is web-app optimized and capable we can then open any of your web pages inside your custom, mobile app (Image 3) and they’ll look and feel just like they were built inside the App to begin with! (and of course for extra, we can even make your mobile website style identical to your mobile app, so no one can tell the difference!)

The best part is the optimization process to your website (or mobile site) is super fast (usually about 30 minutes on average) and optional; And, the rest of the App Wrapr design, compile and submission process usually takes less than 24 hrs (depending on our current orders/load; and not including App Store Approval Times, which are about another 48 hours on average).

Another interesting thing is - we don’t even need access to your website to wrap it IN an Λpp Wrapr. We just need to know the URL(s) of the pages you want to show inside your App. So if you have an existing web developer you can’t get in touch with - it doesn’t even matter!
