Installs like an app
Each published catalog can be installed like an app: it gets your logo on the home screen, its own name, and opens full-screen with one tap. There is no app store and nothing to update.
Why it matters
A link sent last month is lost under hundreds of newer messages.
Building and publishing a real app for a catalog costs far more than it is worth.
Downloaded files go out of date, and customers keep ordering from last season.
What you get
Every published catalog has its own app identity, separate from your other catalogs.
The icon is drawn from your company's logo and the app is named after the catalog.
A tap on the icon opens the catalog full-screen, without the browser's address bar.
Readers install it from the catalog itself. There is nothing to approve and nothing to publish.
The catalog offers to install once, and remembers 'Not now' for two weeks.
The app always opens the catalog as it is now, so readers never see an old edition.
For a menu guests open every week, a price list dealers check every day or a lookbook loyal customers return to each season, being on the home screen matters. CatPro makes every published catalog installable, with no extra work from you.
On Android the browser's own install dialog appears with one tap. On an iPhone the catalog shows the reader exactly where 'Add to Home Screen' is. If they choose 'Not now', the catalog will not ask again for two weeks.
Once installed, the catalog opens full-screen under your logo, like any other app, and always shows the latest version you published.
How it works
Installation is available for every published catalog automatically.
One tap on Android, or a few simple steps on an iPhone.
Your logo, your catalog's name, full-screen in one tap.
Where it shines
Installs like an app
No. Readers install the catalog straight from the browser, and there is nothing to submit or approve.
Yes. Android shows a one-tap install dialog; on an iPhone the catalog explains how to use 'Add to Home Screen'.
An icon drawn from the logo of the company profile the catalog belongs to, named after the catalog.
No. It always loads the latest version of your catalog, so readers need a connection. That way nobody sees an outdated edition.
Publish a catalog and it is ready to install.
