How to Get Started

Here is a partial list of app-building programs, so you can get started building your own app.GameSalad ($299/yr): GameSalad is a fantastic alternative for people who have an idea for an iOS game. They boast over 70 top-100 games, proving that their app-making platform really is up to the job. Their engine supports various types of games (sidescroller, runner, etc.)—you just need to provide your own content. GameSalad can be a life-saver in the world of iOS games.

AppMakr: AppMakr is a service that turns a website RSS feed, Twitter handle, YouTube channel, or website into its own app. This is an excellent solution for people who want to make apps for their blog, news website, or content-delivering website easily. It’s perfect for YouTube channels or blogs that want their own app.

There isn’t a lot of customization, but you can “skin” the app by changing the colors and look of the app AppMakr produces. This is worth looking into if your app is an accessory of a content-based website, and you already have a strong brand.

The concern with AppMakr is that it does not provide a unique look or feel for your app, so your app will be not much more than a mirror of your current website. Most UX professionals these days suggest that you should simply optimize your website for mobile instead, using a responsive design. AppMakr cannot produce the individuality in design or user experience needed to create a truly successful app.
