## What is AppMachine?

AppMachine is online software that enables anyone to make native mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8. Beginners can build their own apps, in just hours to days, without programming knowledge.

I still use it to create demo apps for clients or even recommend students to create drafts for class presentations. I have to head amazing experience with updates rolling in I am sure it's one of the top 5

Pros

It has most of the 3rd part integration-ready, depend on what you wanted for but I was able to use it to create multiple apps for clients, and on top of that most admiring feature is to be able to show a preview to the customer without any reference back tp app machine. I mostly use it to create demo for clients or to present my ideas. on top of all, they have ready-made templates that you can base on to make it easier to implement your own ideas

Cons

On the heavy app, it can perform slow or crash but it rarely happens. once it does customer support is there to help however they can

It has a more friendly interface and makes it easier to navigate. The templates in the app machine are more friendly compare to other platforms

Overall, AppMachine works to keep in touch with our camper families. They've loved to have the option to have our app on their phones for updates (push notification) during their week at camp.

Pros

I really love that you can customize many things about your app. It's easy to drag and drop pages and items to add content. It's user-friendly as far as setting things up and changing things to have them the way you want them. Settings are self explanatory and you can customize your app the way you want! We've loved having the support when we something doesn't seem to be working or we can't figure something out. They've been good at getting back to us within days - sometimes hours.

Cons

The look isn't super pleasing, but it gets the job done. Would love to see it look a sleeker or more simple than it is. The feature you use to see what your app will look like in the website is a little slow and doesn't work half of the time. We had to download an extra app to see what it would look like. Would love to see this improved.

The building blocks approach is very good. Took me a week to build my apps. Documentation poor. Customer support is slow. On the plus side the app is good.
