[Introduction](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#introduction) # What should you think about before creating ## The important thing is to consider what content should be available in your app. So before you get started, it is worth spending a few minutes on the idea for your app. There is a reason why you don't want to work with a spreadsheet on your mobile. It is too complex. For your app, therefore, you need to select the right set of data out of your spreadsheet. And if there is more you need... just create another app.  We hope these questions are helpful to you when turning your business information into an app.  **What is the purpose of your app?** **Who will use your app?** **Which set of data will they need?** **Which data can be left out?** **What extra features could be helpful?**    - [CREATION](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Introduction](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#introduction) - [Excel & Sheets](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#excel-sheets) - [Basics](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#basics) - [APP and Page Settings](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#app-and-page-settings) - [Elements](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#elements) - [FAQs](https://help.openasapp.com/creation?hsLang=en#faqs) - [APP SHARING & USER MANAGMENT](https://help.openasapp.com/app-sharing-user-managment?hsLang=en#main-content) - [App Sharing](https://help.openasapp.com/app-sharing-user-managment?hsLang=en#app-sharing) - [User Management](https://help.openasapp.com/app-sharing-user-managment?hsLang=en#user-management) - [FAQs](https://help.openasapp.com/app-sharing-user-managment?hsLang=en#faqs) - [CLIENT](https://help.openasapp.com/client?hsLang=en#main-content) - [iOS, Android & Web Client](https://help.openasapp.com/client?hsLang=en#ios-android-web-client) - [Embedded App](https://help.openasapp.com/client?hsLang=en#embedded-app) - [FAQs](https://help.openasapp.com/client?hsLang=en#faqs) - [TUTORIALS](https://help.openasapp.com/tutorials?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Videos](https://help.openasapp.com/tutorials?hsLang=en#videos) - [ACCOUNT & BILLING](https://help.openasapp.com/account-billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account](https://help.openasapp.com/account-billing?hsLang=en#account) - [Billing](https://help.openasapp.com/account-billing?hsLang=en#billing) - [DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY](https://help.openasapp.com/data-privacy-and-security?hsLang=en) - [This is possible](https://www.openasapp.net/home/wasgeht.html) - Product - [Apps](https://www.openasapp.net/portal#!/appCatalog) - Resources - [Blog](https://cms.openasapp.com/blog) - [Blog Deutsch](https://info.openasapp.com/blog-de) - [Support](https://support.openasapp.net/hc/) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.openasapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/horizontal%20solid%20logo.png?width=125&height=36&name=horizontal%20solid%20logo.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://openasapp.com/) Copyright © 2026, Open as App GmbH
