Use our new copy and paste feature to copy fields and other items
from one panel to another or to copy entire panels. This is a great
way to copy data from one app to another.
The new Panels sidebar allows you to quickly move to individual
panels. You can also reorganize panels by dragging and dropping
them. For better control of your panel structure, copy and paste
panels instead.
Our next release will allow you to insert panels anywhere in your
app. You will also be able to copy and paste panels and fields and
other items. A new sidebar will give you an overview of your panels
and enable you to reorder them.
Spreadsheet formulas usually use position-based references like A2
to refer to cells while Calcapp formulas use names. Rewriting
formulas manually when you're converting a spreadsheet to an app is
tedious and error-prone. This post explains how you can make
Calcapp Creator do the work for you.
Calcapp Creator will soon be much faster when editing large apps.
Changing a field name or caption will be up to 30 times faster and
memory usage is expected to drop to half of what we currently use.
We realized these gains by embracing modern web standards.
By maintaining multiple versions of your app, you can refer back to
a prior incarnation at a later date. It also enables you to share
your progress on a new app version with beta testers, without
disturbing the main version used by your regular users. Learn to
duplicate your app to access these features.
Can you convert a spreadsheet with lots of data to a great app with

Do you have a spreadsheet you'd like to convert to an app? Get in
touch with us and we'd be happy to assess whether Calcapp is a good
fit at no charge. If you need us to do the conversion work, we'll
give you an estimate of the work involved and charge you an hourly
fee for our time.
You can use data validation to present an error message alongside
an output number field. Sometimes you want to display the message
in the field itself, though. This blog post shows you two ways to
accomplish this.
Is it possible to enter decimal numbers in a Calcapp app on an
iPhone? John posed this question and received a lengthy reply from
our co-founder David. (Short answer: Yes, but it's somewhat
awkward, and this issue can't be easily fixed.)
