We told you we’d be back in Italy after Todi AppyDays 2015 ! This time we were headed for Pisa and the Internet Festival 2015 . Here’s the recap of Jerome, our CMO, and Arianna, our Marketing Manager, who both made the trip to beautiful Pisa.

I'm very proud and honored today to introduce to all of you the last app created in partnership with an important Italian event, The Internet Festival of Pisa. It was a great experience personally, to get to work with the team of the IF, and to mix and match our ideas for the creation of this app. I'm very happy with the results and I can't wait to be present this weekend in Pisa and enjoy all the tech and innovative atmosphere of this amazing event.

Fitness trackers, pedometers, fitness challenges, « fitspo », the connected world, on the go, on your desktop and on your mobile, is all about health and fitness these days, for better and for worse. Even if the trend isn’t something you’re naturally into, you’re bound to have colleagues, friends or family that have jumped on the bandwagon. Fitness fanatics aren’t the core audience anymore. Health and Fitness apps are now in the top 10 most popular apps in the App Store, before « Food and Drink » or « Photo and Video » (courtesy of Statista)! In fact, the health and fitness mobile app market was already « worth about $4 billion » a little under a year ago, according to a mobile Health Economics report quoted by Digital Trends. It thus definitely seems like a market to have under your radar if you are looking for inspiring ideas to create Beautiful Apps.  Here’s our overview of the Health and Fitness Apps Craze, for the better, of course!

One of the most talked about features of the latest Apple operating system version, iOS 9, is how it now allows its users to enable ad blocking apps. The big question is, will ad blocking become big for mobile or not? Pointers seem to be heading towards a yes. As it turns out, ad blocking apps reached the top spots on the App Store within a day of the iOS 9 release. Crystal, Purify, these are the seemingly innocent names posing as a threat to mobile ad revenues.  

Even if it is a little simpler to update your app on Google Play when compared to the App Store, it's a process that surely can get better with the help of a Beautiful infographic from GoodBarber, specially made to ensure you succeed and make your life a bit easier!

Hello GoodBarbers!  Today, I am pleased to introduce a new update which I am particularly thrilled about, given how particular I am when it comes to design and details! As you might have figured out already I am here to discuss our brand new collections of icons, specifically created so that you can even further customize your Beautiful App. So, let’s have a look...

Hello GoodBarbers, Today we are live from Guará, Brasil to introduce you to a local Brazilian TV channel's excellent live streaming video app. TV Guará is a project founded by Sérgio Salomão with the purpose of broadcasting the Guará region's local news, as well as national and international news for all of the region's inhabitants. The project is divided into two main platforms: a website and a native app, available for both Android and iOS. Today I would like to focus on the app, and the big question is: 

Hey GoodBarbers,  Summer is close to its end, days are getting shorter and colder, and flashbacks of the happy summer nights are coming back to our minds as a Beautiful Movie. Even for us it's time to take a moment to look back on all that has been done, and enjoy all the beautiful features released this year :) Ready to start?

Hello GoodBarbers, Today's showcase makes me especially proud because it's about an app dedicated entirely to Corsica, and was of course created by a Corsican ;) You know how much we love our little island here at GoodBarber, so it's a pleasure to see great, local projects coming to life, and even better to participate in their success! I will give the floor to Gilles De Peretti, who is the mind behind this project and will quickly make your mouth water!

The Community Add-On is the third big release of the User project we started last spring. Don’t wait too long to activate it and start creating connections between your users!

3 million Italians are affected by diabetes. I would like to talk to you about an innovative and cutting edge app that has the goal of improving the lives of these people and helping them with daily management and prevention. I contacted the creator of this app to tell me more about this project...

Big news for those who have, or are planning to get an Apple Developer Account. From now on, you won't have to manually renew your subscription each time it's up. Apple recently decided to implement an automatic renewal system for the Developer Program subscription, which means one less thing for you to worry about! You may think this isn't such a big deal, but think again. Maybe it hasn't happened to you, but I've seen many a developer have their app unexpectedly removed from the App Store, just because they forgot to renew their contract. Luckily, this is no longer a risk—you don't have to worry anymore about losing users just because of a moment of forgetfulness.

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts. Elvis Presley

Congratulations to the US ladies for their big win at the World Cup! To celebrate, let's take a look at some of the most Beautiful athletic themed apps ever created with GoodBarber. 

Some time ago, we explained all the reasons why native mobile applications are the best. I really believe that their quality speaks for itself and they have nothing else to prove. The majority of individuals involved in the mobile app industry are in agreement that if it's necessary to make a choice between a native app and a web app, a native one is the way to go (luckily GoodBarber offers both, which is the ideal solution!). While this point is clear, there are still a number of false ideas hovering around native apps. I would like to clear these misconceptions up and do a little myth debunking.  

The Healthy Rebel App is an inspiring story for anyone interested in creating a recipes app, with advice for fellow GoodBarber users as well as business owners in general!

Although a GoodBarber subscription includes both iOS and Android versions of your app for no extra cost, sometimes app creators find themselves in the position of needing to choose between publishing on the App Store or Google Play. This can be due to budget constraints, time restrictions, different objectives you are trying to achieve, your audience, etc. So, if you must decide between publishing on the App Store or Google Play , what are the pros and cons of each? Here is a brief outline of the advantages of each platform depending on your situation.

The MIDEM event was a great source of inspiration for us, so we decided to dedicate today's showcase to musicians, music lovers, and especially those behind the scenes that bring the music to life through running events. We contacted to a very special GoodBarber user whose app for the concert venue, Sala Madchester, is just the first of many in his exciting project...

Today our showcase is dedicated to Sharing the Road, a Beautiful App that conveys all the emotions that go along with this music project. Yann Lamballée, the director of the project, has shared all the details with us...

With the ongoing development of new technology such as streaming, the music industry has undergone many changes over the past several years. Although it wasn't given much of a chance in the early 2000's, we realize today that it has demonstrated flexibility and creativity to adapt to the new standards, particularly in terms of digitalization and gradual disappearance of physical music media.  The music market consists of participants that differ greatly from one another, with both varying and common needs. Today, I decided to show you how apps are an indispensable part of the music industry's digital evolution. Skeptical? Put yourself in the place of four types of music industry players for a more complete perspective: artists, radio stations, those in charge of events/festivals, and producers.

In less than a week, GoodBarber will be in Cannes for MIDEM, the music industry festival, where it will showcase its latest features and future plans to bring even more beats and rhythm to its Beautiful Apps. There are already many users who are spreading their sound through a Beautiful App, and today is the day the best radios, festivals, musical projects, and artists have the spotlight. Here is my list of the Top 5 Best Music Apps made with GoodBarber ...

If you have an Apple Developer account, you should have received an email announcing the release of the new App Analytics available at no additional cost in your iTunes Connect account.  Devices operating with iOS 8 or later will be able to agree to send information on their app usage to Apple, who will generate reports concerning the user engagement, marketing campaigns, and monetization of your app. 

Today we are synching our showcase to an app about a wonderful city. As you know, a part of our team is currently in Las Vegas for the Collision Conf , so  this is the timely occasion to talk about Industry Kraze. Let me introduce the indispensable tool for spending good time in Las Vegas ;)

GoodBarber has born like a powerful and beautiful CMS system to create native applications. The app market grows every day faster and GoodBarber does it as well. Delivering good content is not enough anymore, you need people interacting with it, spreading your words... Feeling yourself attached to an app is very difficult, but the probability of becoming faithful can increase if the user can have a special and dedicated place for him self inside the app. And so here we are... Less then one month ago I've presented to you the new and very awaited in-app login feature, that enables the app users to create their own profile, with photo and details, and to the app's owner to restrict the app access to the only registered users.  That was our first step into the social apps world and today I'm here to present you the second one. :)
