Will you help us migrating from classic apps to glide apps or do we have to start all over from scratch?
Would it be possible to make a test and migrate a classic app to a glide app in order to see what it would look like (keeping the classic app just in case as fallback plan)? Thanks

I believe Glide is working on something to convert Classic Apps to Apps.

Is there any easy way to actually turn the classic glide apps into an app that is downloadable or shareable?
All glide apps are glide products that are hosted on glide servers. They depend on glide to work. No, there is no way to download them as independent apps. As for sharing, you can always share the url for the app, or make it copy-able so other can make a copy in their own glide accounts.

Hey guys,
Did you get any response on it? I have one classic app that I want to migrate to the new apps, but I didn´t find any easy way for it.
No ETA, but they have been working on something to help make the transition better.

No response from Glide. But I really hope they will facilitate the migration from classic app to new glideapps !

Following up on this thread, do you know if Glide will help us migrate to Glide apps from Classic Apps? I am thinking of giving some of my clients a prototype of the work we have done so far but I don’t want a failure product either.

There hasn’t been any announcement from Glide. If and when a feature to migrate a classic app to a new app (including the design) is available, the announcement will be front and center, most likely pinned at the top of the community forum.
In the meantime, from the dashboard, you can make a new app from an existing classic app and the data editor of the new app will be identical to that of the classic app. You will need to rebuild the design.

I swear @Robert_Petitto mentioned a video one of these days once the features Apps 2.0 got stabilized. The topic is “Thinking/designing in Glide 2.0 vs Classic Glide”. Maybe a joint effort with @JackVaughan to remove some of the unknown with migration (hint hint - with a modest honorarium from @david for Robert)…
…cause this is a HIGHLY desired topic.
It could be as simple as breaking down an existing Glide Classic app Template and how it was converted to Glide 2.0. Or one of Robert’s cool apps/examples.
I would personally like to see a mildly complex Classic app (main screen with choices and multiple inline horizontal lists/carousels, couple of tabs for navigation, multiple inline lists on a detail screen using choice components as selectors ) and how someone should rethink/redesign/rework their Classic app for Glide Apps.
Thanks as always
The response I got when I asked about it is: “Right now there isn’t a direct way to do it, it’s a pending feature request that’s been requested by the community. I’ll keep you updated if this changes.”
