Finally, the days of waiting for the Apple iPhone application that you want are finally are at an end, as the users have finally been given a new tool with which they can create iPhone applications all by themselves. The all new service called AppMakr by PointAbout, Inc. allows users to develop their own applications without having to be a professional developer.
The AppMakr provides its user with the “What You See is What You Get” WSYWIG interface that enables the users to design and develop iPhone applications that are completely compatible with the device, thus giving the freedom of creating apps for subjects that the users prefer an ending their dependency on app developers. All the users have to do is to key in the URL of a website and AppMakr will create the application for them to view, approve, use and publish for just $199.
According to Sean Shadmand (Chief Strategy Officer, PointAbout),
“We are very excited about this launch. We have created a service that enables easy content distribution to the iPhone in a highly monetizable way. iPhone apps often cost more than $10,000 and take weeks or months to create, making the decision to execute a mobile strategy a difficult one. AppMakr completely flips this paradigm by enabling anyone to make a high quality iPhone app in under an hour, for as little as $199.”
With the help of AppMakr users can now add feeds from Twitter, RSS, iTunes podcast, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, etc and have also been given the unique opportunity of changing the brand name of the application that includes changes made to the icon, splash screen, tab icons, header image, and text colors. Furthermore, user can even publish their newly created iPhone applications and even charge for them on iTunes and can also add advertisements from some of the famous online ad services such as, AdMob, Medialets, DoubleClick and Google AdSense.
As far as the prices for AppMakr are concerned, for $199, AppMakr can publish a newly created application and if a user wishes to maintain absolute control over his app, then for a fee of $499, he can then publish the application under his own brand name.
