New in version 5.9

Aware IM 5.9 is the most significant update since version 5.0. It is literally packed with goodies. Read on to learn what they are.
Don’t forget to watch the New in Aware IM 5.9 video tutorial.

Native mobile applications
With Aware IM 5.9 you can create native mobile applications from your browser-driven mobile applications. Aware IM automatically generates a zip file from your Aware IM mobile application that can be uploaded into Adobe Phone Gap. You end up with a binary file that can be downloaded to the mobile device. It is that simple!
Watch the new video tutorial on Building Native Mobile Applications to find out more.

Gantt Chart
You can now add some serious resource management capabilities to your Aware IM applications. Check out the new Project Management application to see how it works.

Electronic signature
You can allow users of your Aware IM applications to enter their hand signature on touch screen of mobile devices – or even using the mouse on desktop computers. Aware IM automatically captures the signature and stores it for future retrieval.
