“Thunkable ✕ is very robust in terms of ecosystem compatibility,” Saigal tells us. It’s now up to more than 500,000, with more than 1M apps built using its drag-and-drop blocks style interface - apps which have a combined total of 16M monthly active users, across 195 countries. When we spoke to Thunkable in 2016 their app builder had around 50,000 users. But now, non-coders can easily build their own apps on one platform, and these apps will work on Android devices, iPhones and iPads,” says Saigal in a statement. “Traditionally, building an app requires hundreds of thousands of dollars and two teams of engineers - one team for Android and one team for iOS. (To be clear, that’s not a ‘X’ but a special character intended to denote the cross-platform element.) The prior Android app builder is still available - but now called Thunkable Classic Android. The team went on to secure additional seed funding after graduating YC, and now say they’ve raised a total of $3.3M - from Lightspeed Venture Partners, NEA, SV Angel, Y Combinator, PJC, Mandra Capital, Joe Montana’s Liquid 2 Ventures and ZhenFund.Īn iOS beta platform was also subsequently launched, in September 2017 - mainly, according to co-founder and CEO Arun Saigal, to get feedback on what would become the new cross-platform version - which they’re calling Thunkable ✕. We covered the YC-backed startup back in 2016 when it had just launched its Android app builder platform, after forking the original interface the team had helped developed at MIT. U sers can choose from a variety of features and integrations for their apps, including Google Maps, Microsoft Image Recognition, payments through Stripe, and other APIs - and its capabilities like these that underpin Thunkable’s claim their app builder platform is superior to rival builders which only let people create apps using templates with limited capabilities. The app builder is targeted at non-coders and first time developers, with the bold claim that the platform lets “anyone create beautiful and powerful apps”. Drag-and-drop app builder startup Thunkable has launched a cross-platform version of its product that lets users create apps that work across Android and iOS.
