Free App Marketplace

-
Developed as an outgrowth of the DIY app building tool for creating and publishing mobile applications for smartphones and tablets, the free app marketplace at appcatch has become a favorite web bookmark for my app searches. I love appcatch for its unique and dynamic apps.

By design, this burgeoning web marketplace aims to give all app developers and equal opportunity to publish, showcase, and distribute their mobile app creations to a rapidly expanding community of app lovers that visit the site daily.

When I am asked why I love appcatch, I usually begin with a story of my own app development needs and how they were answered at appsbar. Looking for a free, easy-to-use app builder, I came across this web-based tool and began testing its wares for a simple app idea I had for small business.

At about the same time, the team at appsbar began a beta test of their own marketplace, a place where their large contingent of app builders could publish apps immediately. I love appcatch because it offers app builders and app users an alternative to the pay to play app model that has been the norm in the mainstream online app outlets. The early beta was highly successful with over fifteen thousand apps uploaded in the first few months and downloads and app launches continuing to increase every day.

I was just as successful, creating and uploading my app to the market place in less than a half hour. Another reason I love appcatch is that the apps available on appcatch work cross platform on Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone and virtually every tablet. Also, the service lets all builders post HTML5 versions of their apps immediately and for free. Scott Hirsch founder of appsbar and appcatch has lofty goals for this new venture.

It is this dual mission of democratizing not only the development but also the distribution on mobile applications is the real reason I love appcatch. It gives the average entrepreneur, even one without a large budget or any tech experience, the power to engage in the mobile marketing arena.

App developers, regardless of the platform used to create their mobile applications, can now streamline the process of getting their app into the distribution channel. Apps are simply uploaded through appcatch and available to promote often within 24 hours or less.

While appsbar encourages the use of its free and easy to use app building tool for small businesses and independent artists, the company does not make its burgeoning app market exclusive, preferring to open the appcatch market to all developers. In other words, you don’t have to build with appsbar to promote on appcatch.

Since its inception, appcatch has proven to be a boon to the DIY app developing community. Entrepreneurs and DIY marketers can now identify a need, develop, and publish an app within hours of their original inspiration. This type of flexibility is revolutionizing the mobile marketing.

Windows App Builder

Has your smartphone been “Smoked by Windows?” Despite claims by Microsoft that its Windows phones have beaten thousands of phones in various tests conducted since the CES earlier this year, developers haven’t been quick to adapt. That’s what makes the official release of appsbar, the device-agnostic app builder, such a boon for owners of  Nokia, Lumia, and the new Windows Phone 7. The marketing campaign for the Windows phone claims 50,675 devices have been "smoked" by one of their phones and conclude that 98 percent of the tests contrived by the company prove the device’s superiority. In all, only a relative handful of phones (638) outperformed. Still, a recent survey shows that developers aren’t jumping on board to build native apps for the Microsoft superstar. The survey was published by IDC and suggests that at least 80 percent of developers surveyed planned to incorporate HTML5 code into their mobile apps during 2012, but just 6 percent said they were comfor...
