Free App Builder - App built

-
When I was searching Google Play for small business apps I came across an app built from appsbar that appealed to me. I work in the local teacher’s credit union and we were looking for app ideas to help service our customers. The Kennedy EFCU app, an app built from appsbar and its DIY app builder had the look and feel we were hoping to attain so I investigated further. What a surprise to find out that this was a free app builder. There other many advantages to the process and the deeper I looked in to this app built from appsbar the more positive I was about our chances to develop a first rate app. This particular app was developed to help the credit union upgrade its services for members and to make interactions with the credit union quicker and more customer friendly. The app scores well for design and functionality. The credit union uses the app to keeps members up to date on important events such as the credit union’s upcoming annual meeting and also outlines the credit union’s primary services such as savings and checking accounts and personal loans. It seemed to me that the mobile app was a sterling example of small business using mobile technology to enhance services for their customers. Members were also use the app to schedule appointments at the credit union or log into online banking features.

With this as an example, I set out to make my own app built from appsbar. After signing on and choosing a template I started pointing and clicking my way through the wizard with relative ease. I’ve never had any technical training but in minutes I was building a mobile app.

There were dozens of color schemes, including ones that matched our company logo, and a dozen more templates. The ability to navigate from module to module made me feel like I was in complete control of the process and with some pop up help from Digi, the app built from appsbar was finished. I even had an app coach appear in a pop up window to commend me on my work.

As with every app built from appsbar I was encouraged to immediately publish the work on the appcatch market place. I was able to publish the app for iOS, Android, and HTML5 platforms. The app has many of the same functionalities as the app built from appsbar that I found online.

We have encouraged our members to download the app through email and our monthly newsletter. To date we have had several hundred members take part and the results have been amazing. With no tech input and a zero budget we developed an app that is now part of our everyday services for our members.

If you are looking for a small business app to help you improve service, launch a product, or just promote your business I would suggest going to site to look at a similar app built.

Free App Maker

The site was a recent analyst’s conference in Boston, the seat of the current innovation economy and home to a burgeoning tech corridor. With appsbar, a free app maker for Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows phones coming out of a year-long beta, founder Scott Hirsch was asked about the potential revenue streams for the service. “I would prefer we maintain a commitment to quality,” said Hirsch, “rather than a rush to revenue.” Hirsch’s service is free and will remain so as part of his quest and unique vision for the “crowd-sourcing of app development.” Appsbar was founded in April of 2011, initially offering app development services for iOS and Android phones before adding Blackberry, Windows, and HTML5 services as well. Before coming out of beta, just a few days after the aforementioned conference, appsbar had become the top publisher of apps on Google Play and has already serviced over 100,000 users. Appsbar opens up the mobile marketing category for small and

HTML5 marketplace

As developers of mobile apps for our region’s Little League organization we love appcatch. Using the app builder at appsbar. we have been able to develop apps for all of our teams. In the past, we had to wait until those apps passed inspection from Google or Apple to show up in Google Play and iTunes. We were also at a loss about what to do for our parents who were working on Windows Phone or other HTML5 devices . We love appcatch because the new mobile app marketplace solved all of those issues when it was launched last spring, just in time for baseball season. Using the DIY app builder , we developed mobile applications for the league and the individual teams. We also developed a mobile app for the concession stand which contained the work schedule for parents and included updated inventory and pricing structures for the various items. We also created apps for each of the eight teams in our region. The app was used for updating game and practice schedules, phone numbers for tea
