Product Update: Separate Cover Page

Leave a reply

Quick Summary

  • Yapp introduces a separate cover page option to give creators more design flexibility.
  • This update helps apps feel more polished by improving how the first screen is presented.
  • Users focused on layout and first impressions will benefit most from this feature.

Don’t want an invitation page for your Yapp? Never fear. We’ve officially separated the cover page from the invitation page, which means you can let go of having a time and date for general goings-on.

   

Yapp is optimized for events, groups, and gatherings, but many of you have been using it for all sorts of other things. We heard that the invitation page was limiting, so we’ve made it optional. Now, you’ll see a redesigned navigation area that keeps the cover page separate from the other pages, adding a touch more flexibility to your Yapp experience.

For more detail on how it works, see here.
