==History==
[[File:Thunkable.png|left|thumb|120x120px|Old icon used]]
Thunkable is based on the App Inventor project<ref name="first-citation" />, which began at Google Research and MIT (as of 2010). It was founded in [[2015]] by Arun Saigal, and WeiHua Li. Before, there was only one version, the "classic" version.
Later, Thunkable X was made, a successor to Thunkable Classic.
In 2018, it was said that people can use a custom [[trademark|branding]] on how their [[logo]] looks like in a phone's home screen and when the app is loading, with PRO, a [[subscription|paid plan]].<ref>{{Cite web |first=Albert |last=Unknown Surname |date=October 2018 |title=Latest Thunkable PRO Release - Remove Thunkable Branding from Initial Screen - Announcements - Community |url=https://community.thunkable.com/t/latest-thunkable-pro-release-remove-thunkable-branding-from-initial-screen/53226 |url-status=live |access-date=27 February 2023| website=Thunkable Community |language=en}}</ref>
In 2019, Thunkable Classic was said that it is [[Retirement|retiring]] and people cannot sign up to Thunkable Classic. But people who signed up before still can use Thunkable Classic. <ref name="newpro">{{Cite web |date=2020-03-05 |title=🎉 New Thunkable ✕ PRO Feature: Publish your Project as a Web App 2020-03-11 |url=https://community.thunkable.com/t/new-thunkable-pro-feature-publish-your-project-as-a-web-app-2020-03-11/500455 |url-status=live |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Thunkable Community |language=en}}</ref>
In 2020 to now, Thunkable Classic was no longer able to use, completely retiring Classic. Earlier in 2020, Thunkable said there was a new web app publication feature, for users with the paid plan PRO. It shows how a phone running the application in a [[webpage]] looks like.<ref name="newpro" />
In 2022, Thunkable announced more than [[million|3 000 000]] users and $30M in a Series B funding.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thunkable Announces 3M+ Users and $30M in Series B Funding |url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/thunkable_announces_3m_users_and_30m_in_series_b_funding/prweb18599338.htm |url-status=live |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=PRWeb |language=en}}</ref>
