14 DAY TRIAL // AppDesigner, a software kit that enables anyone to make an application and send it to Apple’s App Store, is gaining traction thanks to Golfers Guide, a golf-teaching app developed by an instructor who had no coding skills whatsoever but needed to get his idea out. The app is now among the top 10 sports apps in the Mac App Store.
According to the makers of AppDesigner, a golf instructor had this cool idea for an educational "Golfers Guide" app but didn’t have the know-how for creating the actual binary.
Not to worry, said AppDesigner, and they handed him the software which “provides audio & video artists with no software skills with a simple way to create native iOS Apps that are very similar to a DVD-Video," according to Martin Sitter, CEO and creator of AppDesigner.com.
“Within 10 days of posting his App, Golfer's Guide went to #1 in the Sports Section of the Mac OS Apple Store!”, says the company’s press release.
There are three ways to use AppDesigner:
· use the AppDesigner software to make and manage your App and share profits with AppDesigner. · choose the one-time fee (the a la carte option), where you use the AppDesigner software to embed your own Apple Developer Keys into your finished iOS binary, thereby publishing the finished App to your own Apple Developer Account · choose to "Co-Produce" with AppDesigner, where AppDesigner.com takes your media, then builds & manages the app at no charge, with a 50/50 revenue split.
The golf instructor chose the third option for his Golfer's Guide idea, said Sitter.
And when Sitter saw that the idea had potential beyond the 3.5-inch screen of the iPhone and iPod touch, he commissioned his technicians to build a Mac app out of it. With the author’s permission, of course.
"When we see an idea that we think is exceptional and also performs well on the iOS App Store, we invite the inventor to let our technicians turn it into an App for the Mac OS App Store as well,” said Sitter. “It's an invite-only program that we solely offer when we really believe in an idea. We really believed in Golfer's Guide and that belief is paying off for both of us!"
Golfer's Guide is in the top 10 Apps in the Mac App Store in the Sports Section, according to AppDesigner.com.
