PUBLISH TO YOUR APP USING YOUR EMAIL? YES, IT'S THAT EASY! CONTENT CREATED Sent via Email or Composed via App #### INTELLIGENCE ENGINE Aggregates, curates content and manages notifications based on user preferences. #### AUTOMATED NEWSLETTER Distributes a hyper-personal digest automatically. ###### What is IHUBApp?  *keyboard\_arrow\_down* The IHUBApp is patent-pending platform that is disrupting how people build.The IHUBApp is a next-gen content management system that allows you to host and build digital experiences of any kind.  Hubs contains intelligent technology that automatically detect the user's specific device and engages with the operating system. It offers up the appropriate device experience whether it is desktop, mobile, or tablet. It's the world's first no-code progressive web app Hub builder and changing not just how people build, but who is able to launch and build. We see a future where a lack of technical skillset does not limit who can engage. What is a Hub? Hubs contains intelligent technology that automatically detect the type of device the user is on and engages with the operating system. It offers up the appropriate device experience whether it is desktop, mobile, or tablet. - A hub on a mobile-device is far more than a ‘mobile-optimized’ website as it IS an app. - A hub on a desktop offers up a website experience that seamlessly brings your users together. - A hub is a website, and IS an app, and IS a massive game-changer! ###### **Cars beat horses. Hubs beat apps. Hubmasters beat webmasters.** Hubs are Changing Apps - Here's How The IHUBApp is a patent-pending, award-winning technology that turns everything you THINK you know about apps on its head.  Leveraging PWA technology is only the beginning. The Engineers at InspireHUB asked why it is that cars can be produced off a line in record time, but when it comes to building websites and apps it can take months.   With that mindset, they realized the problem is that most platforms are built by engineers for other engineers.  Meanwhile, most customers, marketers, designers and writers want to just focus on content.  The solution? The engineering team at InspireHUB figured out all the complexity of features that intake content and images (ie, the gas) and then automatically (and intelligently) the Hub takes care of the rest, making the hub ready to drive. All you have to do is turn the key and GO! How it Works The IHUBApp is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Marketers, designers, and content writers can easily input content and images into the Hub. Meanwhile, the engineering team at InspireHUB has taken care of all the complex code necessary to make sure your App runs smoothly. In other words, they've done all the hard work, so you don't have to! What are the advantages? There are many advantages to using a Hub over a traditional App. First, it's much cheaper and faster to produce an App using a Hub. A Hub-based App will be more reliable and efficient than a traditional App because all the complex coding has been taken care of by InspireHUB's engineering team. Finally, users will appreciate the user-friendly interface of a Hub-based App because it is designed with them in mind!  If you're thinking about creating an App for your school or business, consider using a Hub instead of going traditional. You'll save time and money while ending up with a better product! ### IHUBApp Overview *keyboard\_arrow\_down* #### What has been built on the IHUBApp? *apps* **Apps** Using the latest in Progressive Web App Technology.

We are constantly working on updating our software and providing new tools and features. You get all the updates for FREE, and when we make the update, it is instant. We even prompt the users on your hub, so they are up to date also! #### **Will the IHUBApp give me an app icon on the phone?** Yes! Depending on the phone and browser they will receive a prompt to "Add to Phone". On Android, this places the icon directly in with their other apps. For Apple phone users, they can decide where to download the icon on their phone. #### **Do we have to install anything?** No! Everything is based in the cloud. Once you login to your dashboard, you can immediately start building your IHUBApp! For your users, they just need to click on your URL, and the magic of PWA technology is it will instantly give them access to your content WHILE it is installing on their phone. #### **Is my IHUBApp secure?** Yes! We're also partnered with Cyber.SC to ensure we remain compliant in every country we operate in.  The good news is that you don't need to worry about staying up-to-date with open source code or plugins that have been proven to be easily compromised. #### **Can we host our IHUBApp somewhere else?** We are a software-as-a-service platform which means you subscribe to where we host our technology. That said, for large corporations who have certain industry and compliance concerns, we can work with your IT team to understand this need and discover a solution that will help you meet your compliance concerns. #### **Who owns the data, content, and users in the IHUBApp?** For paying customers, you do! We provide the licensing of technology, and everything else belongs to you. Everything that you put into your hub is yours, and we have no rights or access to it. Just like when you create a document using Word, you own it all! #### **What happens to my content if we wish to cancel?** If you decide to opt-out of the IHUBApp, your content will become inaccessible, but our team will work with you to extract key pieces of data into CSV files for future reference. Depending on your industry, we may be required to keep your hub backed up for a certain amount of time in order for you to access it in the future and in case you change your mind! #### **How fast can our IHUBApp be launched?** Fast! It's under 10 minutes to launch. Typical builds can be completed in about 3-4 hours. #### **Is it true we can contact support about ANYTHING?** Yes! Customer service is #1 for us, and making your organization successful is our top priority. We once had a client call us to ask if she had caught a wasp or a bee as bees are protected where she lives. Our team was helpful to "bee" of service, and that's the sort of legendary stories that we love to see "buzzing" around the digital universe about us! **COMPANY** [About](https://ihubgo.com/home) [Press](https://ihubgo.com/c/newsroom/feed) [InspireHUB Privacy Notice](https://www.inspirehub.com/privacy-notice) [IHUBApp Privacy Notice](https://www.inspirehub.com/ihubapp-privacy-notice) [Terms of Service](https://www.inspirehub.com/terms-conditions) **RESOURCES** [IHUBApp Support](https://support.ihub.app) [Hub Store](https://hubstore.ihub.app/) [Hub Ship](http://hubship.ihub.app/) [Resource Library](https://ihubgo.com/c/useful-resources/feed) [Blog](https://www.inspirehub.com/blog) **PRODUCTS** [IHUBApp Features Overview](https://www.inspirehub.com/about-ihubapp) [For Creators](https://ihubgo.com/posts/166687/ihubapp-for-creators) [For Publishers](https://ihubgo.com/posts/166738/ihubapp-for-publishers) [For Businesses](https://ihubgo.com/posts/166778/ihubapp-for-business) ![An InspireHUB Innovation.
