# Create or edit apps in PowerApps Studio for web
18
-
Create and edit apps in PowerApps Studio for web, which opens in a browser window on Windows or other platforms.
19
-
20
-
## Prerequisites
21
-
*[Sign up](../signup-for-powerapps.md) for PowerApps.
22
-
* Make sure you're using a [supported browser](limits-and-config.md#supported-browsers-for-powerapps-studio).
23
-
24
-
## Open PowerApps Studio for web
25
-
1. Sign in to [powerapps.com](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=708209).
26
-
2. In the lower-left corner, click or tap **New app**.

-
30
-
PowerApps Studio for web opens in a new tab in your browser, where you can create and edit apps in the same way as you can in PowerApps Studio for Windows.
31

32
-
## Known limitations
33
-
1.**Create a connection.**
34
-
35
-
To [create a connection](add-manage-connections.md) to a data source that requires service authentication, use [powerapps.com](https://web.powerapps.com?utm_source=padocs&utm_medium=linkinadoc&utm_campaign=referralsfromdoc), and then [add the connection](add-data-connection.md) to an app in PowerApps Studio for web.
36
-
37
-
2.**Use signal functions.**
38
-
39
-
**[Acceleration and Compass](functions/signals.md)** functions return accurate values in a published app, but those functions return zero values as you create or modify an app in a browser.
40
-
3.**Export and import data.**
41
-
42
-
You can [export and import data](controls/control-export-import.md) in a published app but not as you create or modify an app in a browser.
43
-
44
-
## Next steps
45
-
* Automatically generate an app from your data in, for example, [Excel](get-started-create-from-data.md) or [SharePoint](app-from-sharepoint.md).
46
-
* Learn how to [add a control and set properties](add-configure-controls.md) that determine how your app appears and behaves.
47
-
* Unleash your creativity by [creating an app from scratch](get-started-create-from-blank.md).

All signals return a [record](../working-with-tables.md#records) of information. You can use and store this information as a record, or you can extract individual properties by using the **.**[operator](operators.md).

### Acceleration
24
27
The **Acceleration** signal returns the device's acceleration in three dimensions relative to the device's screen. Acceleration is measured in *g* units of 9.81 m/second<sup>2</sup> or 32.2 ft/second<sup>2</sup> (the acceleration that the Earth imparts to objects at its surface due to gravity).

## Examples

-
From the pitcher's mound at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington, a baseball pitcher throws a phone to a catcher at home plate. The phone is lying flat with respect to the ground, the top of the screen is pointed at the catcher, and the pitcher adds no spin. At this ___location, the phone has cellular network service that's metered but no WiFi. The **PlayBall** screen is displayed.

The pitcher initially gives the device a large acceleration when throwing the device, going from 0 to 90 miles per hour (132 feet per second) in half a second. After the device is in the air, ignoring air friction, the device doesn't accelerate further. The device decelerates when the catcher catches it, bringing it to a stop. |8.2, while the pitcher throws the device.<br><br>0, while the device is in the air.<br><br>-8.2, as the catcher catches the device. |
