Appmakr dating app

Having your own iPhone app for your website or blog is becoming an increasingly common way to promote and extend your brand. However, actually creating that application and getting it into the App Store can be a lengthy and expensive process, especially if you have little development experience. Today PointAbout is launching a new product called AppMakr, which is designed to make creating your own iPhone app simple and inexpensive.

AppMakr is a streamlined system that creates a native iPhone application out of your existing RSS feeds. You can customize elements of the app and the artwork and then submit it directly to the App Store. You can even embed ads from places like AdMob directly into the app. AppMakr made this demo video showing off how fast it was to create an app for Mac|Life.

Paint-by-Numbers iPhone Apps

We've covered some other paint-by-numbers iPhone app services in the past — like Swep Apps and MobBase — and while this sort of approach doesn't make sense in all cases, it is especially attractive for businesses and sites with existing content, but without the time or budget to commission a custom app.

What we like about AppMakr is that the content it displays can be stored offline (so this isn't just an App Store wrapper on a mobile website) and it has the ability to integrate lots of different types of feeds into the mix.

Pricing and Special Mashable Launch Discount

AppMakr has two pricing options, $199 for AppMakr to publish your app — which means you don't have to have your own Apple Developer Account (AppMakr gets credit in the app's opening splash screen) or $499 if you want to use your own Apple Developer Account, but still have AppMakr take care of the provisioning and management features.

However, from 1/4/2010 (today) through 1/6/2010, you can take $150 off the $199 option by using the code "MASHABLE" at checkout.
