Improve Your Blog with an Easy to Build iPhone App

Dean Sherwin — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:19:50 +0000

All the main news sites and aggregators are developing apps to keep their readers informed on the go. This is turning out to be a lucrative moneymaking opportunity via advertising as mobile web usage doubled in 2009. So why can’t you or I get in on the action, promote our blog, gain readers and look pretty darn cool at the same time? Well for $199, you can!

You see, most of the apps which blogs release are nothing more than glorified RSS readers. Pretty simple when it all boils down to it. So you could easily release your own by using AppMakr – basically the bare bones of an RSS App. This will take your blogs feed, enable you to add some images, alter the interface design, change buttons and rearrange your app and then publish it live; all in less than 30 minute if you’re taking it slow.

There are two price models. Here’s what they say on their website:

$199 – The Easy Way: AppMakr Publishes Your App
Submit your app in minutes, with AppMakr as the publisher. Skip the difficult parts of making an iPhone app, like having to work with Xcode and figuring out the app certification and provisional process. You can even insert your own ads in the app. Apps built with this option will have a small AppMakr logo on the app splash screen.

$499 – You’re In Control: Publish Under Your Own Brand
Take control of the app building process by creating an Apple Developer Account and loading your certificates into AppMakr. We’ll take care of the rest, including the provisioning, building and management of your apps. You’ll also be able to test apps on your own phone with Ad Hoc builds.

Pretty cool, no? Check it out at AppMakr
