GoodBarber 4.0 | Next Generation Apps

  Updated   3 min read

Today, GoodBarber is getting a major update. GoodBarber 4.0 aims at revolutionizing the way you create apps.

In 10 years, apps have changed the way we use the web. A very limited space—a small screen—and a not so precise pointer—the finger—have pushed designers to come up with radically new user interfaces. Clean and intuitive, over the years, they’ve imposed their standards on larger screens.

These days, to keep the attention of a user, you must be able to deliver impeccable UX regardless of the device used, whether it's big or small. GoodBarber 4.0 tackles that challenge.

Discoverability

Imagine an app accessible both from a web search engine and available on the mobile stores.

All the content published through GoodBarber 4.0 is indexable by search engines. Your app has the same visibility as a website on Google.
And thanks to the publication in the App Store and the Play Store, your app can also be installed by over a billion mobile phones.

Without barriers

Imagine an app readily accessible, without prior installation on your phone.

The installation of an app curbs its usage. This step creates friction and cuts you off from a part of your potential audience. With GoodBarber 4.0, your app runs on a web browser as well. Everybody has access to a web browser, which means everybody can easily access your app.

Fast

Imagine an app designed to take advantage of your smartphone's power.

GoodBarber 4.0 delivers faster and smoother apps than ever. Your app is displayed within milliseconds on a browser. Once installed on your device, the native code takes full advantage of the device’s capacities to offer a one-of-a-kind user experience.

Modular design

Imagine an app with an infinitely configurable design.

With modular design, GoodBarber 4.0 introduces a cutting edge concept when it comes to the user experience of your app. The home and its 66 widgets, the header and its customizable NavBar, and the versatile navigations modes, offer unique flexibility to build the best UX.

Website

Imagine a website reinvented according to the ergonomic standards of apps.

When displayed on a big screen, your app smartly adapts to the extra display space available. With GoodBarber 4.0, you design a site with an app-like interface. That is why navigating your app on a large touchscreen is so comfortable and natural.

Multi platform

Imagine a unified UI, offering perfect continuity across mobile, tablet, PC and TV.

GoodBarber 4.0 delivers an app which runs everywhere. Regardless of the device, the user interface remains intuitive, unified and designed for touch interaction first.

Websites are out. All you need is an App.

GoodBarber 4.0 bridges the gap between mobile and desktop. From now on, all you need is a next generation app.

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.
