Re: Software to Make Apps
 
Making apps is surely not easy. But if you want a customized app, which will be used only by your company, then you can approach a company who has a good experience in the app development industry. You can find such companies from google or any online directory. You can search for companies in your region, if you prefer.

Re: Software to Make Apps
 
I have tried a few different ones via WF purchases, will also be checking out some of the options that are free provided in the post.

The one I have stuck with is skybuilder, it is very easy to use and for local businesses it has everything that they would want within an app, also if you know any html etc and people want downloads or sign ups for products/factsheets such as accountants then that is also easy to do within the app.

It is not free I purchased it during launch in the summer and pay just under £100.00 per month for it but I am viewing it as long term,
( if you check out the app resource below they currently have a $1 trial to test for three days)
when my telesales guy gets his butt into gear I should easily see a great return, I have a couple of Apps currently on Google play, mainly derived from the training provided and one from another app course I purchased on here which is apparently quite a complex one according to skybuilder!!

I am currently trying to get in to my daughters new school and offer them a free app which I have on my phone which took me minutes to build, the biggest job with skybuilder is just organising your graphics for within the app and also for placing on Google play.

So now I will go and take a look at some of the ones mentioned by others on here and be able to come back with a comparison

Would the Apple apps store accept apps that are written with HTML5, or do I need to use their development system?
Thanks

I am not currently sure about the app store as I am not on it yet imminent plans I am just on Google play.

However you may find some help with the following articles I managed to find

Hope they help a little

If someone can create a strong business and FINANCIAL model, they may have a sustainable wealth building system for themselves. It all starts with a solid financial model with key metrics. Someone who has this will skyrocket their earnings into the next highest tax bracket. I am looking to find a great partner that I can leverage the knowledge I have about apps to sell apps to small to medium size business.

An example of how a local business can use an app is best described with a restaurant/tavern. If a bar can send a push notification for free or low cost drinks at specific time to people who buy their apps on a slow day of business, they can expect an increase in patrons who come to the restaurant. They would need a large network of people who have already downloaded the app and approved push notifications from the app on their smart phone. The best plan for local businesses is to not only have a robust app, but also have an extensive mobile marketing strategy.

I know some distributors that help people sell apps to businesses but they are run by scam and rip-off artists so I don't want to name names. Beware of hucksters.

2) Some ideas for small businesses:

  • A Mexican restaurant can send a push notification to app downloaders for FREE MARGARITAS!

  • A barber can send a push notification for 25% off haircuts for appointments schedule during slow business days or times.

  • I have many more, but I can't give you all my great ideas. :-)


You seem to have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of apps. I have a contractor that would like for its customers to take picture of their project include the area and send that in to contractor. Something that is manageable in AppMakr? How do you determine how much to. Barge for this?

Thanks

So my questions to you guys is do you know any decent software to make your own apps?

If you have some knowledge of coding try working on Titenium or Phonegap.
These are the best frameworks for developing native and web apps respectively.

For android try App Builder - free to make HTML5 apps, and you can choose to download a signed or unsigned APK file to publish to Google Play. For $5 you can remove the reference to AppBuilder in the About box making it completely private label.

Hello
If you are an expert in programming languages like Java Script, HTML 5, etc; then you can go for the softwares like the GENWI, APPMAKR etc. If you are a layman in the field of coding; then do have a look at MyAppBuilder; which is a real helpful source to build you app. You just need to provide your content, and it will build your app. You need not required to be technical. Even this will help you in show casing your app in various appstores. With this, you can make 2 apps on a monthly basis and their monthly fee is $29. SouthEm is another easy-to-use platform for app making without coding knowledge. It charges $30 as the basic package per month.

If you are just getting started, I highly suggest Conduit Mobile. I built the IMGrind Android and iOS apps out of it in less than 24 hours. Very easy platform to get your feet wet.

Re: Software to Make Apps
 
I use andromo.com and i'm very pleased with the features and the functionality. unfortunately it's only for Android. for 99$ per year is a great choice for people with no coding knowledge.

another choice for both android and apple is https://seattleclouds.com but the cost 99$ per month (for unlimited apps) is too big for me. Anyone should choose according to their needs.

No they won't. If its HTML5 they will say to make a web app instead, which is just basically a website using HTML5 and its API

What you failed to mention was that Conduit charge a 'setup' fee of $500US, not sure why as its basically a CMS and for every app that you make will be charged (which they call a credit) @$39US per month which is approx. $340US a year.

Now. lets do the math here; if you make an app for a SME (and to cover your costs) you would need to charge $39 US + Your expected profit.

Now here's the question :

How much would you be prepared to pay per month for an app for your business?

You must not be familiar with me. That's ok. My last app got 43 Million downloads in 64 countries and that was right before we started banking $13-$14.5 a day in in-app purchases and serving ads.

I've got 40+ apps currently. So, you can see that such a small fee, had no weight in my conversation regarding conduit. I simply used them because the trade off is so much better for us in our favor. :-)

We have been using 123 Flash Chat software and they guys have a mobile app as well. And they have promo recently to make your own mobile chat app, which can save $999 and it will be totally with your own branding. The chat has multiple features and it supports video as well for android tablets. You can make money with it with their credit system :)

Great list of app building services here. I signed up with Buzztouch last year and went through their training - Buzztouch University. Love this service mainly because, 1. it's very inexpensive and 2. you own the apps you create which isn't the case with many other, low-cost services. My only complaint is they don't have many available plugins that would be attractive to small businesses such as restaurants.

IMO, creating mobile apps for small businesses is still very much a fresh opportunity.

Hi,

I'd appreciate some assistance on this:

I've got a website that I update once or twice a week.

I want to make a logo, which I can make myself, that a visitor to my website can download from a widget on my site, to his/her mobile/cell phone's front page or app. library, enabling them to access my site on their phone without having to enter the URL every time.

I'd appreciate some help.
