How to Create an App from Zero without Knowing Schedule

Creating an app may seem like the hardest thing in the world but it is not so difficult if you know how ...

I've been trying to write this article for a long time and I haven't done it before due to a lack of information. There is a lot of confusion regarding the creation of apps and that is why I would like to identify the type of reader I can help. However, below I’ll try to discuss in-dept to know how to make an app!

This content can help you if:

• You have no programming knowledge.

• You have a business and want to make your own app.

• You have little money and cannot pay a programmer.

• You want to learn to create simple apps to devote to it.

• Are you this type of reader? let's start.

List of Programs to Create an App

As you do not have any programming knowledge you will have to use a web tool that allows you to perform the entire process in an easy and friendly environment.

I have compiled a list with the best programs to create apps.

• GoodBarber. Our favorite

• Appypie.

• Swiftic.

• Mobincube.

• App yourself.

• Tu-App.net.

• Movappcreator.

• ShoutEm .

• AppsBuilder.

• Mobile Roadie

• App machine

• Biznessapps.

• Appear

• Ibulidapp

• Build fire

• Appery.io.

• Gamesalad

And now the million dollar question ... Which one to choose?

To explain and develop this article I will focus on Goobarber, my nominee for the best app creator.

Well I do not know if it will be the best, but it is the one I like the most and the best taste has left me.

After writing and trying to get in touch with many of these creators, communication has not been entirely satisfactory. What I value most of all, is the support and customer service.

One of the big problems I found in most of the tools is the language. Almost all are in English and it is difficult to understand them if you do not understand the language well.

Where to start?

One of the great differences of this creator with respect to others is the new Web APP or PWA (Progressive Web Application).

I think it is necessary that you know the differences that exist between the Native APPs that you already know with the Web APPs. It will depend on the project you want to carry out to choose between one and the other.

Which to choose?

Well, it will depend a lot on the type of app you want to create. I am sure that with all the advantages and disadvantages that you have known you will already know which one to use.

In general, I would advise you to use a Web APP. But if you need your app to use specific phone features then you will have to choose a native one.

Features that you can install in your App

Someone asked me if you could create applications like WhatsApp or Wallapop. You should know that these types of apps are created by groups of programmers with high knowledge and not by a single person.

All the tools that I have named in this article serve to create simple applications. However, there are a number of modules and add-ons that you can install and that will allow you to do very interesting things. For example:

• Loyalty Cards. You can create a loyalty program for your customers. You can also reward the best.

• Couponing. Discount coupon program.

• Authentification. Allow your customers to have a user account with a password to be able to give access to certain parts of the app.

• Community. With this functionality, you can manage a community of users as well as define groups.

• Chat. Integrate an instant messaging chat in your app.

• Push notifications programmed. You can send unlimited notifications to your users and analyze their viewing performance. This functionality is key.

• Geofencing. You can define the geographical areas to send notifications.

• Beacons. A beacon is a radio signal. You can send a notification every time a user approaches.

• SMS notifications. You can send messages from your control panel.

• Squarespace. You can synchronize all the content of your page within the app.

• Monetization. You can show third-party ads and charge for it by adding this type of functionality.

• Live Audio and Video. To broadcast radio and live video programs.

• API access. To activate advanced features to further personalize your app.

• Ecommerce. To sell through your app with a shopping cart. This functionality is being created and will be ready shortly.

As you can see you can create very interesting applications and the most important thing is that it is not too difficult.
