Configuring Your App Settings (Portal: Setup & Customization > App Settings)

Portal: Setup & Customization > App Settings

Your App Settings are where you shape the foundation of your app — how it looks, how new users are welcomed, what features are labeled, and what your app can and can't do. This article gives you a quick tour of each tab so you know where to go when you want to update something.

You'll find these settings in the portal at Setup & Customization > App Settings.

🆕 = new in version 6.9

Theme

Controls the visual identity of your app:

  • App Font Family — one font for the whole app, picked from our supported list

  • Theme Colors (Light) and (Dark) — your Primary, Background, Card Background, Text, Sub Text, Outline, and Text On Primary colors. The color picker supports HEX and HSL; opacity isn't an option, so pick solid colors.

  • Tab Configuration — which tabs appear in the bottom navigation, their order, their labels, and their icons. Toggle a tab on or off, expand it to rename it or change its icon, and drag to reorder.

Onboarding

Controls what new users experience when they first open your app:

  • Landing Page Configuration — the carousel of intro screens shown after download. Each slide has a title, subtitle, and image. You'll also set the labels for the "Next" and "Get Started" buttons here.

  • Intro Video — an optional welcome video that plays after sign-in. We recommend keeping it under 60 seconds and in portrait (vertical) format.

  • User Onboarding Questions — the questions new users answer during sign-up. Keep it to a maximum of 5 to avoid overwhelming them. The tags you attach to each answer feed your Recommendation Widget 🆕 on the home screen, so each answer determines what content gets surfaced to that user.

General

The biggest tab — it controls behavior and copy for most major features. A quick map of what lives here:

  • Authentication — logo and button labels on your login/register screens

  • Default Values — default user avatar and admin post notification suffix

  • Reminder Settings — daily reminder copy and toggle title

  • Free Category — toggle on to surface a free content collection

  • Share — the message users send when sharing your app

  • Deeplink — including whether to always redirect to the store and whether web paywall is deeplink-only

  • Class Complete — continue button label and confetti animation

  • Notification Permission Prompt — title and subtitle for the permission ask

  • Achievement Success Dialog — celebration text and confetti animation

  • My Library "Create" sections — Playlist, My Meal Plan, My Routine, My Collection 🆕, My Challenges. Each has its own title, description, and (in most cases) image.

  • Exercise Log, Calendar Schedule, Apple/Google Health Sync, Offline Preview 🆕, Force Update Required, Monetization / Content Display 🆕 — feature-level controls and supporting copy

Most sections have a master toggle in the header that turns the whole feature on or off.

Media

Controls the labels used for every content type in your app — Class, Course, Program, Recipe, Routine, Playlist, and more. For each content type you'll typically set:

  • Plural Text (e.g., "Classes")

  • Singular Text (e.g., "Class")

A few sections add extras:

  • Course has button labels for Start, Next Session, and Restart

  • Recipe has a "Log Meal" button label

  • Routine includes an Exercise Timer End Beep toggle

  • Props Needed is the only section here with a master on/off toggle and lets you customize the props/equipment label

Use this tab to align content-type names with your brand voice.

Blacklisted URLs

A simple URL blocklist. Use + Add URL to add an entry, and the trash icon to remove one. Use this when you want to prevent specific links from being surfaced inside your app.

A few good practices

  • Save each section as you go. Edits don't carry across sections — if you've changed multiple sections, save each one before navigating away.

  • Preview before launching. Theme and Onboarding are highly visible to your users — review changes in a test build before rolling out.

  • Don't skip onboarding tags. They power the Recommendation Widget on the home screen, so untagged answers mean unpersonalized recommendations.
