## How It Works

In this section, I’m going to explain to you the working model of the Andromo website and how you can make an Android application using it.

At first, you need to [create an account](https://builder.andromo.com/registration/) on the Andromo.com website. **It’s free and no credit card is required**. Basically, they offer a completely free trial for two weeks. During this time you have access to all the activities.

I think 14 days are enough to explore this app builder and create a mobile app. After that, if you like this platform then I would highly recommend you to [buy a subscription plan](https://www.andromo.com/en/plan/).

I myself bought its “PRO” plan that helps me design custom apps for my clients with ease.

Anyways, login to the Andromo.com website and then click on the “CREATE AN APP FOR FREE” button.

You have to pick the theme according to your requirement, and then give a name to your app. After that click on the “BUILD THIS APP” button and you are ready to go.

You will find the following tabs on your screen

When you click on any of these tabs they provide you different functionalities. The most important ones are Activities and Theme.

I will briefly discuss some of these functionalities to help you get familiar with Andromo.

 

### Activities

This tab decides the working of the app. I picked a theme for the Fashion app and the following activities are already included in our app.

You can also change the position of the activity by drag and drop according to your requirements.

When you click on any Activity the following page appears on the website.
