It's time to evolve: Upgrading to Zoho Creator 5

Dear App Creators,

With our commitment to continually refining and improving our user experience, we're gearing up to upgrade all accounts to Creator 5 on (UPDATED) from December 1st, 2020 , in phases . In other words, from this date forward, all your applications will be using Creator 5, and you won't have the ability to go back to the older version you were using previously.

This post is to kick off our journey to Creator 5, and we'll be following up and updating you as we progress through it. This upgrade only concerns those accounts that were created before April 2nd, 2019, and where the "Switch to old version" option is not available in any of its applications:


There’s so much power that Creator 5 can add to your applications.
Creator 5 empowers developers to customize traditional web-based applications for smartphones and tablets, opening up all the possibilities that come with multiexperience applications. For over two years—since March 2018—we've been making app-building enhancements to Creator 5, which can be reviewed in our what's new and update posts .

Ready to take your applications to the next level?
You can get a head start by reaching out to support@zohocreator.com and gain immediate access to Creator 5.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your long-time loyalty and reaffirm our commitment to building software that solves problems for your business.

Best Regards,
The Zoho Creator Team
