The Dashboard is your main control panel with links to Settings, App Creator, Share and to Get My Appafolio and Change Passphrase.

From Settings, choose an icon from our templates, or upload your own custom icon. For optimal results, your icon should be 512 pixels by 512 pixels. Here you can also change the name of your app, turn on or off comments, sharing and the ability for users to rate your app.

The App Creator lands on the App Flow, where you can add, edit, and delete your screens. Choose a pre-existing screen and fill with your content by clicking "edit" or click "add new screen" for new screen options. Youâll then be taken to a preview of the screen where you can edit your graphics, titles, captions, and more.

On âThemeâ, you can choose from a one of our standard background textures, or choose to upload your own custom background. Backgrounds have a height of 1024 pixels and a width of 2048 pixels for best results. You also control the font type, alignment, and color for both the titles and captions for each of your app screens.

From the App Creator, you land on the âApp Flowâ page. This is the where you specify your screens; what type, order, title and navigation title. You can delete screens and create new ones. You can add photos, videos or text by clicking âeditâ on each of your screens. Drag to re-order your screens on our web tool.
Â
Â
Â
Â
After clicking, âAdd New Screenâ, you can choose between all the available types of screens; image, image gallery, video, video gallery, slideshow or about. Select the green âAdd Screenâ button to create the screen. Select âeditâ when it appears on the App Flow to add your own images, video or text.

Â
Â
Download the Appafolio app from the App Store and enter your Passphrase to view your app. Share the Appafolio app and your Passphrase with anyone so they can also view your app. Create your own âShort URLâ â" appafol.io/NAME by changing your Passphrase. This will automatically launch your Appafolio if the app is installed.
