AppMakr – Create Content Based iPhone Apps Online

Posted in Apps, Great Companies, Startups by wmworia — No comments

Have you ever read something and you just sat up, your eyes become wide with anticipation and a shot of adrenaline runs through you sending a cold chill down your back! (Well, maybe that’s a bit over-dramatized, but you get the point).

How about this – AppMakr.com allows you to create content based iPhone applications in under 30 seconds!

Yes, 30 seconds!

From the official press release:

AppMakr offers, for the first time, a “What You See is What You Get” WSYWIG interface for creating a fully native iPhone application. Users can enter a website URL or keywords and AppMakr will create a sample iPhone app in under 30 seconds built from that content.

Users can then customize the iPhone application by:

1. Adding content feeds, including Twitter, RSS, iTunes podcast, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, mp4, and others

2. Changing the app’s branding, including the icon, splash screen, tab icons, header image, and text colors

3. Monetizing the app by charging for it on iTunes, or by adding ads from AdMob, Medialets, DoubleClick and Google AdSense

Publishing the app to the iTunes App Store is as easy as choosing between two options:

· The Easy Way: AppMakr publishes your app for $199

· You’re In Control: Publish under your own brand for $499.

Full pricing details are available http://www.AppMakr.com/pricing

Amazing! Watch the video demo
