FAQ

• What are the advantages of using Flextudio compared to other mobile development platforms?

  Recently, many good no-code platforms have emerged.
  Generally, no-code platforms focus on making initial development easy, allowing non-developers to create apps, which is a major advantage but also comes with clear limitations. For example, they may not support advanced features and have many restrictions when customizing the UI or functionality as desired. Additionally, after launching a service, the maintenance and update process can become cumbersome. Flextudio's main target is not non-developers. We provide rich features required for mobile apps and integrate development environment, debugging, deployment, and user management to allow even a single person to develop, maintain, and update apps continuously.
  
  Advantage 1. Rich Features
  Difficult features like push notifications, GPS, and QR/Bar-code scanners can be used easily with Flextudio. You can manage data using services like Firestore, Google Sheets, and Airtable, or attach your own database, and if needed, subscribe to MySQL offered by Flex for immediate development. Additionally, you can connect various backend systems and external libraries in API form for utilization.
  
  Advantage 2. Stable Maintenance
  Flextudio offers stable aftercare management by providing service monitoring, user-specific debugging, automatic app deployment, and tenant-specific app management, encapsulating over 30 years of enterprise solution service experience to 2,000 customers.
  
  Advantage 3. Web-based Low-code Tool -> Scalability of General Technology
  You can utilize almost all functions implemented on the web. Since it runs on a general HTML-Javascript basis, depending on your understanding of web development, you can freely develop with intention and implement desired features by attaching external libraries or required functionalities.
  
  FlexStudio's main target is not a non-developer.
  We provide a wealth of advanced features needed for mobile apps and integrate development environment/debugging/distribution/user management to help you develop and continue to operate/update apps with just one person.
  
  

• How can I use apps created with Flextudio?

  All apps created with Flextudio can be used on a browser via a URL link.
  
  You can also use them as iOS Android apps by directly registering or installing the app using the SDK provided by Flextudio.
  
  From the Business Plan and above, you can use the app immediately through user invitations without separate app installation or registration.

• Can I register it on the App Store and Play Store?

  Yes, you can.
  
  Flextudio provides an SDK.
  You can register the developed content on the App Store (iOS) and Play Store (Android)
  with your account using your own app icon and app description.
  If you do not need your own identity or want to avoid separate app management,
  you can use FlexApp without a separate app review process (available for Business Plan and above).
  
  Additionally, you can launch services easily in the form of a web app with just a URL link.

• Can I create multiple apps from a single account (workspace)?

  Yes, you can.
  
  After creating a workspace, you can develop additional apps according to your plan.
  You can also invite developers to collaborate on development and maintenance.

• Is API or other system integration possible?

  Yes, it’s possible.
  
  We provide API integration features, allowing connections to various external APIs such as ChatGPT, NAVER, and Kakao.
  You can also connect external data stores like Firestore, Airtable, and Google Sheets for development.
  If there are operating systems, you can also connect them in API form.
  
  If you have a database, you can connect it to FlexSQL in Flextudio to use it directly with SQL queries.
  If you are developing a new app, subscribing to FlexDB will enable faster and easier development and operation.
  
  If you need integration with proprietary systems through Flextudio, please contact us through Q&A for guidance on feasibility.

• Can I export development code?

  No, it is not possible.
  
  Flextudio saves the developed content as metadata in the development tool, and the engine runs it as an app.
  Although it is possible to provide metadata of apps developed on Flextudio, we do not separately build or export the operating system such as the engine or development tool that makes this metadata function as an app.
  Having development code alone is similar to not having an environment to build, deploy, and run it.
