What are Super Apps: The Complete Guide
Companies from different sectors have begun to substitute single-purpose applications with multipurpose apps, which has resulted in the emergence of a new generation of products: Super Apps. Would you like to turn your iOS or Android app into a Super App or create one from scratch?
Pre-title
What makes an App "Super"?
Texto del bloque
A Super App is an ecosystem that has a variety of services that are not necessarily related to each other, but coexist within the same application. It is usually born as an application that covers a specific need, and then evolves encompassing other services.
The Main Advantage
The end user only has to log into the Super App, enter their payment methods and that’s it, they don’t have to register every time they want to access or try a new service.
What is a Mini App?
It is a small application that solves a problem within the Super App, which is the host. The Mini Apps are loaded dynamically at the user’s request, and are found through different Discovery Points that are loaded dynamically. The owner of the Super App is the one who authorizes the publication of the Mini Apps on its platform. It is not the phone’s operating system or the phone’s store that must do so.

How to turn your native App into Super App?
GeneXus has a unique technology in the market to convert any native application into a Super App – even when the app already exists and was not built with GeneXus. By incorporating this technology, the app becomes a Super App and agrees to integrate thousands of Mini Apps built with GeneXus. Incorporating this technology in a native iOS or Android App turns it into a Super App.
