Use the app tiles to design the home screen of your EventApp. The tiles represent your event, you can add and organize: content, images, sponsors, media, selfies and much more!
The tiles screen in the EventCMS will demonstrate how your app will look like once it is published. Any adjustments will be visible after a couple of seconds when closing and reopening the app.
