select different views and arrange your app according to your individual needs. interaction with your guests is a special opportunity to offer a special experience. we offer for example the list view with search function which is often used for the digital directory. but you can also show other content such as events or wellness information. furthermore we offer you the section view that allows you, for example, to show a menu. you can include as many views to your app as you want and fill them with information. in addition all other functionalities such as push notifications or registration are available.
on any platform, also without app:
app store: show your presence and place your gestgid® as a highlight in the app store from Apple or Android with our help.
web app: you are able to offer the content as a web app (limited functionality, eg. no delivery of push notifications possible) for customers who don’t want to download the app.
