Ask for the next batch
Hello, when will the next batch for the Managed App reopen? Thank you!
I also wanted to ask about the app navigation.
Currently, the Home section seems to be structured around:
Members
Spaces
Courses
YouTube / All Videos
Gamification
For my project, I would prefer Home to open directly to the main Feed, rather than showing these sections first.
Also, would it be possible to make the YouTube / All Videos section a dedicated navigation item in the bottom mobile app navigation?
Ideally, I’d like the bottom navigation to prioritize the main user journey.
Is this something that can be customized with the Managed App?
Thankyou
Yes it is
Yes, the next batch is open now! Our last few batches were heavy on in-app purchases, which took a bit longer to set up at first, but we're ready for the next round.
On navigation: yes, all of that can be customized, and you don't need an app update. It's done in WP Admin → Customize → Menus:
- Open on the Feed: the app opens on whatever is in the first tab-bar spot. Drag the Feed (called "Activity" by default, and you can rename it) into that first spot and the app opens straight to it. The Home screen is just a page you can move, rename or remove.
- YouTube as a tab: the YouTube add-on supports being a real bottom tab. Drag it into the Tab Bar and it becomes its own tab, with the tab bar still showing.
- Bottom tab bar: you choose which items go in it and in what order, so you can build it around your members' main journey.
You can download the companion plugin now and look through the Manage section. The biggest part of setup is creating your accounts first. Some people install the companion plugin early and get that done, so they're ready once they've decided.
