Preview the app

With our intuitive app previewer powered by Appetize.io, you can get a realistic and interactive preview of your app before publishing it. This article will guide you through previewing and interacting with your app, ensuring it meets your expectations.

1. Preview the app design while building it

To ensure that your app is functioning properly and is ready for publication, you can proceed to preview it. You can easily preview your app by following the steps given below.

1. Step 1: Log in to Alphonso.
   
2. Step 2: Click on Preview in the top right corner.
   
3. Step 3: Select the emulator option for the mobile device you want to preview: iOS/Android.
   
4. Step 4: Click Tap to Play, and your app will load.
   

Now you can use interactive elements to navigate screens, simulate user actions (checkout, and adding products to cart), and test app functionality. Previewing your app gives you first-hand experience as a user and allows you to make necessary changes before launching it to your audience. 

2. Preview app

In addition to the web-based preview feature, you can also test your app on your mobile device via the Alphonso Preview app. Note that any custom development is not visible in the preview app as this supports our out-of-the-box features.

2. Navigate to the latest Alphonso app via TestFlight using the URL. 
   
3. Download and install Alphonso.

For Android devices:

1. Download Alphonso from Google Play Store.
   
2. Log in to the preview app with your JMango360 account to perform your app testing.
