The penetration of smartphones and number of apps in the market is growing more and more and at an equal pace the number of people who want to develop and build apps by themselves runs up.  The process of developing an App seems very complicated to most, for this reason I asked some questions to two members of our iOS developers team, Mathieu Fancello and Alex Manzella . The purpose of my interview was to find out the basic skills required to enter into the iOS development world, and then to share this knowledge with you.

This week, I will be on the road again with Jerome. This time, we go to Amsterdam, The Netherlands to attend The Next Web conference Europe. Ping me @dsiacci if you are there (or if you live in Amsterdam ;) and want to have a coffee!

"All the GoodBarber's team wants to make their best wishes to all of you!! We are so attached to you that GoodBarber will be closed only tomorrow! Just the time to digest all the chocolate eggs we are going to eat today. But we will come back on Tuesday, stronger and ready for a week full of surprises!"  

A few days ago, I was talking with Jerome and Arianna about the frequently asked questions we receive from our users, and about the subjects we should handle on this blog to answer these questions. We've realized that you now have quite a bit of experience with our service and you have created apps for wide range of contents. So instead of talking about the technical aspects of the creation of an app, about which you surely already know tons, I decided talk about how to organize your contents in order to deliver the best possible user experience. In this article, I'll give you some insight on what is the best way to plan and design your app. The first and most important thing you should know is who your readers are, so you can find the best way to arrange and structure your app.

Let's meet with Mr. Khodor Zahra, the man who helped us translate GoodBarber in Arabic.

Everyday, I'm in contact with people who have a WordPress site and want to turn it into a mobile app. It's not surprising since more than 19% of the web runs on WordPress   During the conversation, we always end up speaking about the best way to make this transformation, so I thought about sharing this with you in this blog post.

Hello everyone! We are very proud to announce that the GoodBarber Portal and Blog are now available in German! So, for all of you germans who want to create native apps, we now offer one of the most advanced platforms in the world in your own language. Now, we know that most germans have no problems understanding english. But to be able to better connect with you, and to make your user experience more pleasant we thought that GoodBarber must exist in german. ;) Let's begin! I can't wait to see what the combination between our Beautiful App creator and the excellent artistic talent germans possess will lead to!

The past was dominated by voice. Now we have moved into another decade, where digital services take the lion share of industry revenues.   The mobile analyst Chetan Sharma  had predicted that voice data would leave space to mobile data, the new big revenue source.  Only during the past year, mobile data service revenues grew by 20% reaching $24.8 billion, and it has become the primary growth driver for US mobile industry.

Recently, I fell upon a very interesting article written on Flurry's blog  about the decay of apps. Every app has a lifetime cycle where it reaches the top, and then monthly active users (MAU) start diminishing. Flurry focused on what happens after the peak ... and did you know what they discovered? News apps are decaying slower than other types of apps! Sounds good for you GoodBarbers, right?

That was one of the great features that came with GoodBarber Salvador back in September. Every GoodBarber account has a great web app associated, in addition to the native app for iPhone and the native app for Android.   Your natives apps are distributed in the App Store and in Google Play. But what about the web app?    By default, your web app is located on http://<appname>.goodbarber.com/m/. But you can (you should?) change this URL and choose your own.   For instance, you can decide to link your web app to http://m.yourdomain.com That will be far more convenient for your users to access your html5 web app, right ?   That's what we're going to do together in this post.

Hello everyone, I’m Deborah, and I’m from Ajaccio. I studied applied foreign languages in Aix-en-Provence, spent one year in Tokyo to improve my Japanese, and completed my studies in Paris in media, information and communication, before I got back to my hometown. I speak French, English, Japanese, and also a bit of Italian and Spanish. During my Master’s Degree I worked on digital contents and their impact on the economy, especially in the music industry. I’m very interested in new technologies of information and communication, so when I heard about the CampusPlex I applied, and here I am! I’m here to help the GoodBarber team with the online assistance to help you create your Beautiful Apps. Do get in touch with me if you have any question! :-) I like music (anything, but I love rock and metal), travels, reading, writing, and many other things that just don’t come to my mind right now.

Hi everyone, my name is Katrina Bertacci. I come from Bologna where I am still studying to complete my masters degree in corporate management. I am half german and half italian and I speak fluent english, italian and german. When I found out that GoodBarber was looking for a person to open the german market I applied for the job and so now here I am! I will be managing the german market as you may have imagined. In my free time I enjoy reading, painting and taking my dog for walks and playing with him. I also love to cook and experiment, making my own cosmetics for fun. I like traveling a lot and making new experiences, which is also why I applied at GoodBarber. I have almost finished my first week here and it has been very interesting. At the moment I am learning to use all the powerful tools that GoodBarber offers because I need to understand the product before I can propose it to the market. ;) I have also found the workplace to be very positive and inspiring.

Hi GoodBarbers! I'm so happy today because a lot of new things are happening here at GoodBarber. I can't reveal more, but something is coming up. Remember to download the app "GoodBarber News" to stay up to date with our latest news. :D
