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 team members, and announcing rain delays or postponements. Our league mobile app had a master schedule, umpire schedule, and updated standings. All of these seemed like great, forward thinking ideas for Little League baseball parents until the issue of publishing came up. Where do you publish? What platform do you use? How can you search and share the app? And just how long will it take for the app to appear?
Appcatch addressed all of the issues with its new marketplace. The apps are uploaded for free, downloaded for free, and are easily searchable under the distinct categories (we are under the Sports category). Also, appcatch published our apps immediately, and they were in use before the season started, a big reason why we love appcatch.
The device agnostic approach spelled out by the site also answered one of our biggest issues. We had iPhone, Android, and even Blackberry users who made up our league profile. Regardless of what type of smartphone or tablet you are using, our apps work on the device. Being so in-tune with the workings of appsbar and feeling comfortable with interface (we built 10 apps over a period of a couple hours) it was great to see that appcatch had a similar interface. It was instantly recognizable and we love appcatch for the streamlined and intuitive feel it has for our users.
The idea of building mobile apps and becoming a mobile app publisher might seem intimidating at first but this easy to use development and publishing tools don’t require any technological expertise and almost as important, they don’t require any outlay of capital. It was free and easy. We love appcatch because they made it easy for us to bring something as cutting edge as mobile app technology to our small town baseball organization.
If you are interested in building a mobile application for your team, club, church, or group, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend visiting appsbar and its affiliated app marketplace.
