Growing your business the appsbar way

cell phone in hand

A new app that is available to download from Google Play could just be what you need to help grow your business using mobile phone technology. From what I gather, the app is basically a means to create your own application for use on an Android mobile phone or an iPhone.  For example, one small [...]

From little acorns

Google2

The old adage from little acorns grow mighty oaks is a very apt saying for one Google app creator. Appsbar created a free app builder that has become one of the most popular programs in the world.  So much so that the number of downloads grew from 100 to over 100,000 in just one year [...]

Businesses grow best when they are able to network. However, most of this traditionally has been face-to-face, offline at business breakfasts, or other similar meetings. However, in a world that is not just fast but essentially becoming digital in nature many businesses, large and small, now have to look for ways to get their message [...]

Relocation now easier than ever

Google

I often wonder what we would do without our smartphone or tablet these days.  It certainly makes life a lot easier than powering up a computer or laptop when looking for information. However, Android apps, iOS apps and so on have taken a step further for people looking for information on the go.  For instance, [...]

A fairer price for your fare?

Travelling by taxi can be expensive especially when you are in another country.  I must admit while I do a lot of travelling abroad, I have never had to (as yet) get a taxi. However, other than either haggling with the taxi driver or paying upfront what else can you do? Well, there is a [...]

More developers shun Android

Android

I heard a while ago that many of Android’s developers have decided to call it a day working for the company.  However, what I didn’t realise is that it is a growing problem, and one that Google isn’t taking seriously enough. There are a variety of reasons why developers have decided to shun creating Android [...]

Android Play bans Reddit apps

Android3

In what is probably a rare move by Google, I believe a third-party Android app for a community web site called Reddit has been banned. Interestingly while Android Play was considered to be often lax in its approach to what it stores, this time it seems the company have taken a pre-emptive strike. However, what [...]

Apple dominates the app market

Google may dominate the cloud computing market.  It may also be the most popular operating system, although this is more by default, I think, than anything else.  However, it is Apple that apparently dominates the app market. What’s more, it appears that Apple has now extended its lead further as a result of a reduction [...]

Mistake forces changes in the way we use location apps

apps

I am not a fan of location software such as Tom Tom devices, although I have to say they can be useful on long journeys.  My gripe with them is that drivers in particular can become just too reliant on them rather than using a map or set of instructions. Moreover, mistakes do happen as [...]

Running out of power? Blame free apps

Is your smartphone or tablet’s battery struggling to maintain enough power?  Well I found out recently that it may be because of the free apps that you use.  In fact, research has found that ad-laden Android apps (and more than likely other platform apps as well) are having an affect on the strength of the [...]
