That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $2,400 a year. - You could make: Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
