Many people around the world rely on their phones to do more than text and call. Many apps can simplify tasks such as taking notes, surfing the web, or checking the weather forecast.
Altova MobileTogether Designer is an app that can be used for developing such software. It supports multiple platforms (Android and iOS) as well as Windows Phone and Windows-based tablets.
It has a simple graphical user interface, making it easy for even those with limited computer skills to use its functions.
Altova MobileTogether Designer is a WYSIWYG tool (What You See Is What You Get). This means that you can drag and drop controls onto your dashboard until you are happy with the result.
You can adjust the default values of the control depending on which type you choose.
You can also create charts and tables based upon information in external XML files. This allows you to incorporate third-party data into your current project.
Altova MobileTogether Designer can be used to add checkboxes and dialogs to your dashboard. Its dimensions will vary depending on which mobile OS you use.
After you are satisfied with your project's outcome, you can validate it to ensure no mistakes you missed. You can also stimulate your workflow in landscape or portrait mode and restart it with one mouse click.
Altova MobileTogether Designer can be an excellent assistant for those who are interested in mobile software development. It is intuitive and easy to use.
