subject: Appsbar And Iphone Apps [print this page] The iPhone recently celebrated its 5 Year Anniversary (June 29) and despite stiff challenges from the upstart Android operating system, remains at the leading edge of the mobile experience.
When the iPhone released its 4S model, lines formed around the globe at Apple stores as if the Beatles had released a new album. Here at appsbar, the free app builder for iPhone, we recognize that is the phone that drives the crowds, but believe it is the apps that drive the phones.
New studies show that a vital statistic, web marketshare (which measures who is actually using their smartphone to access the web), has iPhone fanatics with a strong lead over the competition. iPhone apps are the gateway to the web to the tune of nearly 65 percent web marketshare.
That means that iPhone customers, despite falling behind Android in phones shipped still get the most out of their devices. Android users represent less than 20 percent of web marketshare.
The opening of the App Store in 2008 made it possible for any company to get their app to the fingertips of the entire world. However, it wasnt until the advent of appsbar in 2011 that any company could afford to develop an app for the App Store.
Appsbar brought true entrepreneurs to iPhone apps with its free, online app maker. Without the financial resources (sometimes in the tens of thousands of dollars) to develop apps, small business owners, independent bands and artists, and passionate hobbyists were locked out of the App Store.
Appsbars free system, which allows anyone to build an app regardless of skill level and with a limited budget, to make rich, personalized apps that reflect their own personality, business or event with direct access to places like the App Store.
The iPhone app world exploded with the introduction of Angry Birds in December of 2009. The all time best-selling iPhone app brought the term mobile app into the everyday lexicon of ordinary citizens. It fueled the frenzy for apps that has led to over 25 billion downloads for the Apple store. There have been offshoots or sequels to the popular game like Angry Birds Seasons and Rio that are also in the App Stores Top Ten.
Appsbar, in an effort to democratize the app experience, doesnt charge for app development and offers only free app to the App Store. That doesnt mean you cant generate income for your business or your ideas through these free iPhone apps. Appsbar now allows app builders to use PayPal services to sell merchandise through their apps.
