Do It Yourself With ComboApp
Intersog, a software development company recently released a mobile platform that allows users to create their own apps. This certainly stirred curious thoughts, and I'm unsure what to expect, since Apple is not a big fan of template created apps.
The ComboApp platform can be utilized to create apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android with a step-by-step process where a user can select from a menu of features sorted by app category. Users set up an account and choose a category so the app can provide a list of features, templates, CMS, access control and usage statistics. There are also preset color schemes, but if you prefer further customization, it can be had for a fee.
ComboApp Pricing Structure
The Prestige package is $39 per month with mobile ad and module configuration, skin builder and featured placement. The Elite package is the same monthly price, but with a one-time set up fee of $299. This entitles you to full-ownership of the app, traffic redirects, a splash screen, push notification and more data analysis.
The basic features and package offerings are great for producing basic proof of concept. This seems ideal for small -to -medium -sized marketing firms who do not have a full-time mobile resource team. Vadim Chernega, Intersog's CEO noted that "our model is to partner with marketing companies and become a platform to deliver apps quickly and cost-effectively."
