Deploy mobile app

You can deploy the ThoughtSpot mobile app through the iOS app store, or your MDM or MAM platform.

Starting in December 2021, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards in the Mobile app. In the browser application, ThoughtSpot made this change in release 8.4.0.sw (June 2022). For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention.

Deploying the ThoughtSpot mobile app to your users allows them to access their data and make decisions remotely from their mobile device. For more information about features in the mobile app, refer to ThoughtSpot mobile overview.
