We are excited to announce the redesign for your app.
How to preview
- Log into your account at instantencore.com.
- Go to the app preview (Control Panel > InstantApps > Preview).
- Above the preview, click the "Redesign" link.
- To go back to viewing the previous Classic version of the app click "Classic".
- If you make a change to your settings while the preview is open you will need to refresh the preview for the changes to take affect.
App Content
- The exact same content that fills the Classic version of your app will also go into the Redesign version (events, videos, music, etc) .
- Please be aware that any changes you make to content, tabs, etc will affect your live app as well as the preview. If you want to make content changes without affecting your live app, you can use Test Mode.
Images
- The Redesigned app looks best with 16:9 images. For example 960 x 540. When the image is used as a thumbnail it will be cropped to just the middle square.
- It is recommend to use 16:9 images with the important part of the picture in the middle so that it is still visible even when viewed as a thumbnail.
- The images you have in the the Classic version of the app will continue to work. However, they were optimized for square images and the tops and bottoms may be cropped at times.
Customize Colors
- The Redesigned app provides you with three color settings as opposed to just one in the Classic version.
- To edit these colors and see the preview:
- Go to the style page (Control Panel > InstantAppsc > Style).
- Edit the Redesign App Colors.
- Go back to the preview. If you have the preview open in another tab of your browser you will need to refresh the page for the changes to take affect.
- You can safely edit the Redesigned App colors without affecting your live app.
Customize List Styles
- A new feature of the redesign is the option to customize list pages (events, music, videos, buzz, etc).
- Choose from 4 different formats:
- Compact
- Cards with text overlay *
- Cards with text below *
- Image with text overlay *
- Image with text below *
-
Recommendation
- Formats with * work best with 16:9 images.

- Click the "Request Update" button on the Mobile Preview page (Control Panel > InstantApps > Preview).
- We will notify you when your app has been updated. The process can take 1-2 weeks depending on how fast Apple approves the update.
