Android users generally prefer to use an app when searching for information online because of the mobile friendly interface. Previously, it was quite difficult to create an Android app from scratch, since it required coding and app development knowledge. AppsGeyser has removed the barrier to entry for small business owners who want to create their own apps and reach customers who are on the go.
How Does AppsGeyser Work?
AppsGeyser is touted as being super simple to use – and it is.
You start by going to the AppsGeyser. Once you’re there, you can click one of the three “Create App” buttons. This takes you to step one in the process.
There are actually several options to choose from. You can enter a URL, create a shortcuts list, create a specialty app, and there are several other options. For example, you can insert HTML code or create an app from a Youtube channel. For the sake of this demo, we’ll choose to enter a URL.
Say we want to create an app for the Bluecloud Solutions blog. All you have to do is paste the URL into the field and give your app a name and description. You can also create a custom icon if you’d like.
Once you input the information, you can see a nice little preview on the right hand side of the screen. When you have everything filled in and looking the way you want, you hit the “Create App” button.
Next, you’ll land on a page where you’ll need to fill out your name, email address, and password to create an account. Once you fill in all your information, you can hit the “Sign-Up” button.
The last thing you’ll need to do is download the .apk file from the AppsGeyser website. Test out your app and make changes, if required. You can edit your app by logging in to your AppsGeyser Dashboard. Once you’re happy with the app, you can publish it, or just keep it for personal use.
How to Get Your App Noticed?
There are several ways to get your app noticed after you create it using AppsGeyser.
First, you’ll most likely want to submit it to the Android Market. Keep in mind that Google charges a $25 publisher’s fee. However, your app will reach millions of users with Android phones.
AppsGeyser also provides a gallery where you can promote your app for free. There are a lot of great free apps available to download.
Thirdly, you can promote your app via your website and social media. AppsGeyser provides two URLs you can use to promote and distribute your app.
Finally, you can also use a QR code that AppsGeyser supplies. The QR code takes people directly to the download page where they can install the app.
As you can see, AppsGeyser provides a lot of help when it comes to promoting and distributing apps.
