An overview of the new Passion.io platform: Your Complete Guide

Introduction

In April 2024, Passion.io made significant changes to support app creators in building, managing, and growing their businesses. 

We understood the challenges of the old platform and improved it to enhance your experience. Plus, we've made it easier for you to work on your app from anywhere, not just your computer.

Your feedback has been crucial in these updates, and we've added the features you requested, like password resets and the option to collect user names during sign-up. 

This update is just the beginning of our commitment to making the platform work better for you. Let's explore what's new, how to use it, and answer common questions.

A: We intend to bring all users the best experience possible. As part of this rollout, the old experience is being decommissioned.

Q: Can I do everything on my phone?

A: Almost everything! You’ll need a computer to submit and update your app on the app stores, edit your welcome screen and sales page, set up Zapier, add tracking codes, and manage your custom notifications (push notifications)

Q: I’m not seeing the theme templates. Where are they?
