Shoutem
ShoutEm is a mobile app designer for those who want to build apps, but have no experience with coding. The user interface uses drag and drop technology for easy app creation, and you can preview your app design using the preview app. The software allows you to create a variety of apps from mobile stores and customer loyalty apps, to apps for content, local events, and social communication. You can add push notifications to your app design, as well as catalogs for certain content. ShoutEm offers a demo version to try out the app creation tools. Review: ShoutEm is an easy to use app creation tool that focuses on promoting your app and keeping customers loyal to your brand. The software also gives you access to detailed analysis about your app performance and customer behavior. These features make it worth a try for both novice and expert app creators, although the price of even the most basic plan is higher than other similar software. Once you create a ShoutEm account, you can choose to select one of the eight templates or create your own app template. Although the templates make it easier to get started, the categories available are relatively broad. The interface is easy to use and makes it simple to customize icons, logos, and themes to match your business. The one downside of the interface is the extra steps it takes to create an app for tablet devices. After your app is created, ShoutEm submits the new app to both Google Play and the Apple App Store. The app is also linked with your mobile website, prompting customers to download the app when they visit your website on their mobile device. Setting up push notifications is easy to let customers know about specials and other information, but you cannot customize these notifications based on location. One of the best parts of the ShoutEm software is the analytics reports that provide you with customer emails, posts and references on social media, and check-ins at locations. Despite the relatively high price, ShoutEm makes it easy to create apps and retain customers.
