Build web apps or app prototypes with a native look-and-feel for iPhone and Android smartphones. Provide powerful mobile data entry. Build iPhone and Android calculators that work even when the phone is offline.

Developing native smartphone web apps for Android and iPhone is difficult, time-consuming and expensive. It’s not always the most profitable solution. Perhaps you want to start by making a simple prototype just to test the idea. Maybe show a mock-up of the web app to customers to see how they like it. Or perhaps your needs aren’t really more complicated than what you can handle in a qualified spreadsheet with some nice formatting?

You can design your web apps in Excel and compile them for iPhone so that they look like native iOS applications. You can empower your workforce with tailor-made calculators, spreadsheets and mobile data entry forms on Android devices – all made from Excel spreadsheets.

A spreadsheet in Excel …

If you use an Excel spreadsheet to create an Android or iPhone web app, the app uses the same formulas as in the spreadsheet. Everything in the app is updated automatically when values are changed. Our mobile calculators always work, even when the phone is offline. No programming required!

… becomes a web app in a phone

Build powerful web apps from Excel prototypes

What are web apps?

The term “web application” or web app is commonly used for any advanced web page which uses HTML5 to work like a standalone software application. HTML5 allows applications to load as web pages but store data locally and work while offline.

There are several ways to build apps for smartphones.

  • Any web app loaded into a smartphone web browser can be saved in the device, with an icon on the home screen, using the Add to home screen function on both iOS and Android. Users can start the web app directly without downloading, just like any other app on the phone, assisted by the web browser.
  • Native IOS and Android apps require programming to run directly on the mobile device, without the help a web browser.

What does SpreadsheetConverter do?

SpreadsheetConverter generates web pages that can be embedded inside a native app. The embedding or wrapping is done by third-party services like AppsGeyser. To learn more, please read our tutorial about building Android apps with Excel, SpreadsheetConverter and AppsGeyser.

What’s it worth, to you?

There is no simpler way to build an extremely powerful web app than this. Just create the calculator or electronic form you need with Excel and let SpreadsheetConverter iPhone/Android convert it into web pages with full support for iPhone and Android touchscreens. Asking the user for a number? Show the number pad. Make life simpler for the user.

If your requirements change, you just edit the spreadsheet, run the conversion to HTML and publish the new version on the web.

This photo shows a web app with a “new member” registration form. As you can see, the developer is using Excel to design the form and a Sony Xperia smartphone to preview it. Everything works just like in Excel. The formulas and Excel functions you use to calculate values are all live in the web app. You can design the layout as you like with Excel’s formatting options. Everything you do in Excel comes across to the web app.

Features and benefits

SpreadsheetConverter is the perfect tool for creating calculating web apps that attract attention.

  • Fully compatible with iPhone and Android: Your spreadsheets run as web apps on any mobile device. Users can save the app to their Home screen. When the app is stable, embed it and it runs as a native app.
  • Helps the user master the small device: utilizes the touch screen optimally for each input field. Shows a numeric keypad for a numeric field, or an e-mail-optimized keyboard when typing e-mail addresses. Graphical widgets like dropdown and file attachment make full use of the touch screen. Long menus fold into the familiar “hamburger” and there is no sideways scrolling.
  • Instantaneous response: All calculations and validations are done immediately when the user enters new data. Everything is done in the app. No communication with a web server.
  • Everything is live and interacting with your visitors: The calculator or form updates dynamically when values are changed. Even the charts are live and allow users to focus on the data they are most interested in. Use calendars to select dates and sliders to vary data in real-time. Create forms with drop-down menus, check-boxes, radio buttons, large text fields or list boxes in a breeze. Design step-by-step wizards for complex forms.
  • It looks just like an app: Normally, it takes a lot of time to make a web app look this well-designed. With Excel, you just format the page the way you like. SpreadsheetConverter creates a web app that looks the same: borders, colors, fonts, checkboxes, dropdown lists etc work as they should, and numbers are formatted on the fly with decimals, thousand separators and currency symbols. Conditional formatting makes the most important numbers stand out. Design colorful themes the give your apps a common look.
  • Integrates with existing systems in many ways, e.g. sends data with barcodes, http or e-mail; receives data via http.

  • Two or more team members can share the same spreadsheet: your users can collaborate with colleagues in real-time directly inside the app.
  • The Link Image widget allows you to show different images in the app depending on cell values or formulas. Now you can build advanced imaging applications where an image on the screen changes with the values in the web app.
  • Users can include up to ten files with any form they submit. Job applicants can include their CV, and expense reports can include scanned copies of receipts.
  • It’s so easy to change: Business rules frequently change, e.g. new prices, new discount options, new regulations etc. With hand-crafted apps, it’s hard to keep up with the frequent changes. With SpreadsheetConverter, you just change the spreadsheet and regenerate the app.
  • You get the source code: The web app is completely self-contained. There are no library files or other external requirements.
  • Excel isn’t needed: Once the web app is created, Excel is not required. Your web server doesn’t need Excel, and your users don’t need Excel. Even if Excel is all around, not all employees have it, and private persons seldom have it.

Fast, stable and secure

Live, calculating web pages like these are very expensive to develop by hand with all the programming, testing and debugging that takes a lot of time even for a specialist.

By developing your expense report, order form or shipping calculator in Excel, you save a lot of time already at the design stage. Your calculator works and can be tested even before we turn it into a web page for you.

The converter turns the spreadsheet formulas into blocks of standard program code that have been meticulously tested by thousands of users.

The web pages are responsive and adapt to the screen width. On the narrow screen of the tablet, there is only room for two blocks side-by-side.

 

Our selection of flavors

  • Our basic product converts Excel spreadsheets to HTML with embedded JavaScript that can be used with any web server. All calculations are performed in the browser, without any help from the web server.

Superior support

Our support centers in America, Asia and Europe provide support almost 24 hours a day during weekdays. Technically competent support engineers are here to answer your e-mails. They are all programmers and web developers.

If possible, send us a copy of the spreadsheet you’re working on. We know it may be sensitive but it saves so much time trying to recreate the problem you are having.

Low cost, no risk

Here is the complete price list:

  • There are no additional fees per month.
  • There are no additional fees per page or conversion.
  • There are no additional fees per web server, page view or visitor.
  • There are no additional fees for Excel or plug-ins. The web pages we create have everything in them and do not need or use Excel.

In fact, when spreadsheets are available online like this, many people no longer need their own Excel licenses, which can generate additional savings.

Let us convert a spreadsheet for you, right now!

We’ll gladly convert one of your own spreadsheets for you. It’s so simple to do, we won’t even charge you anything for it. It won’t take us much time anyway.

If you like the result, we hope you’ll want to install the program and take it for a test drive in your own laptop.
