If you are looking for info about our smartphone/tablet mobile apps, [look here instead](/motion-platform-software/accessing-the-platform/mobile-apps-ios+android.md). {% endhint %} A Motion app is simply a container for your [tiles](/motion-platform-software/tiles/whats-a-tile.md) to be viewed and used by your end users. Some Motion app [*types*](/motion-platform-software/apps/app-types.md) are highly curated (e.g. the Property Manager and Tenant Portal app types, which offer unique functions and *useful* limitations), while others will be incredibly versatile and up to you to dream up the possibilities (e.g. the Mosaic app type, which helps you build custom dashboards with no limits). Each Motion app: * Has a [*type*](/motion-platform-software/apps/app-types.md) * Can be shared between users * Can be linked to tiles (so that those tiles appear in the app) You can create multiple apps of any app *type*. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
