Previewing Your Store App Using Snaplook

When designing a mobile app using the app builder, it’s important to preview how your app will appear and function on real devices. Instead of relying solely on the backend editor, you can now use the Snaplook app to view real-time previews of your store app on mobile. This helps you confirm whether the layout, interactions, and overall styling meet your expectations.

Snaplook is ideal for previewing in-progress designs and is especially helpful when working with custom components. It enables you to test custom code and recent updates in a real mobile environment, helping ensure everything works as intended before publishing.

This guide will walk you through how to download Snaplook and start previewing your store app on mobile devices.

Note: Snaplook currently supports Android devices only. The iOS version will be available soon.
