Hi guys,

I have a question about the free plan and how it works with downloading to personal device rather than distributing to App Store or Play store. I have been working on an app assuming that I could download it just to my personal device and use it on there, however after having looked at the pricing plans more in depth, it looks like the app will be inaccessible on my device after 72 hours? Is this correct? I don’t want to have to pay $449 a year just to have a simple app for personal use only, which is what I think will be needed to use Thunkable? If anyone could clear this up, that would be great.  
Thanks in advance.

Hello @hoppershauni95291 welcome to Thunkable, the download link will expire after that amount however your app is still able to run after those 72 hours if downloaded
