Don't just take our word for it, see what our customers have to say:

  • Increase Active Users "Users who download our desktop app are more active than our existing users and we've reduced our churn rate as a result."

    Michael Fitzgerald
    Co-Founder of Interplay

    Joe Lennon
    CTO of Workvivo
  • Native Look and Feel "Having that ‘installed’, native feel is important to our users. It gives them confidence that our app is solid."
