MATLAB: App inside app question

appgui

Hello MATLAB community!
I am an undergraduate new to MATLAB, and I am trying to build an app inside MATLAB to collect/analyze data for a neuroscience research project.
Is it possible to build an app (or in my case, four apps) within a "mother" app? I tried creating one app but it was ridiculously slow to load an image. I hope linking different apps will make this process much quicker.
If this is possible, how do I go about connecting the apps? Thanks so much!

If not more than 1 image needs to be displayed at once, maybe just save all the image data internally, have only one axes, and have your arrow key presses just draw the appropriate image on the axes
400kb image is not huge, but of course if the source is compressed, it could still be a lot of pixels, which could be slowing you down..if you don't need the displayed image to be full resolution, maybe downsample and store as a "thumbnail" for display purposes?
Not really "app-in-app", but have you explored the use of "tabgroup"?
