Our favorite app development team has been hard at work with iPhone and Android
app development.  It was brought to our attention that often customer reviews on the internet can help
grow a client base.  Asking clients to review your services online can be a hard task to accomplish
because that means the client must go the extra mile to write and post the review.
Often if you offer superior service most clients are more than willing to write a nice review in appreciate.

Start-ups will soon learn the value of word of mouth advertising and learn that with technology word of mouth often
means reviews written on the internet.  This is a process we encourage each start-up to follow through with even after
they have been in business for years.  Online reviews can help you grow your client base as well as
encourage their friends to purchase your services.  The internet is becoming a very social place
and start-ups need to take advantage.

Each company needs to create several areas for your customers to easily write the reviews and the the company must
ask the customer to write the review.  Just send your customers a direct link and they will easily find
the review area.  Idea Apps created a few of these areas and clients are already completing reviews.

The last time we checked in with our start-up iPhone development team their business was just taking off.  Today, Idea Apps
is programming many Android and iPhone apps with a great business strategy behind each app.
We are proud of our technology start up team and we wish them continued success.  

If you are in need of an app or an application development team take a look at our local Idea apps, Inc., they won’t let you down.  Be sure to let them know the Idea Finishing School sent you.

Idea Apps, Inc., your local app development team.

There are many elements when working with a start-up company.  One of the elements that is sometimes over looked is making sure the start-up has a web presence.  If you don’t have a website we help you get started in the development process.  For the companies that already have a website they often have little to no website presence and they often are not sure how to even begin such a task.  There are many different elements that need to be considered when developing your website presence but we wanted to share a few of these elements that can help with this process.

Here are a few examples of our profile pages that we set up and we recommend to all of our start-up students:

Never under estimate the power of local directories.  A start-up or established company can take advantage of this one:  Hotfrog.com

We like hotfrog.com because it allows you to enter a lot of information about your company and it is all for free.

The other local directory that made our list for this particular blog is Brownbook.net, pay attention to how you sign up for your account and you can create an appropriate URL to match the name of your actual company.

The next one  is a start-up online group that lets you ask start-up questions.  It is nice to mingle and chat with other start-ups and learn from other companies mistakes.   It is called Sprouter.com and it lets you enter information about your company.  Sprouter.com also has a panel of experts to help guide the young professionals.

We found Ted.com interesting because it lets you spread ideas and talk with individuals who share your same interests.  Ted.com is a professional community and you will be surprised to see the great conversations going on.

Vator.tv is one of our favorites for start-up companies that let you enter valuable information about your company and join competitions.  Vator.tv is a great way to network with other start-ups and learn from some of the greats.  Take a look at the site you might be surprised at the companies that have already started participating.

Knowem.com has a great online community that allows you to create a company account.  Be sure to fill in as much information as you can to take advantage of all that they offer.  We are still working on some of our Knowem.com accounts ourselves but wanted to show case this site.

One of the most over looked area of exposure is your Google profile.  Fill out your company information on your Google profile and let everyone know about your company.

These are just a few of our favorite and simple ways to increase website exposure and just part of the process with our start-up students.

Idea Apps, our favorite app developers has had an interesting last few weeks with a lot of partnership app submissions and new clients.  Idea Apps feels the partnership app submissions have been getting better and better and they are excited to get into work each morning and read the submissions.  We checked in with Idea Apps to get an idea about the Android app market.  All of the current reports are talking about Android and how the platform is dominating the smartphone market.

The Idea Apps clients are now beginning to ask about Android app developers before asking about iPhone app developers.  The current trend began a few months ago.  In the past clients would only inquire about iPhone app development and would seldom inquire about android app developers.  Now clients are asking about the Android platform first and developing for both the Android platform and the iPhone platform at the same time.

Idea apps also mentioned another trend regarding app marketing.  Clients are now asking about app marketing services and no longer developing random apps to toss out into the app markets.  Our app developers started this trend by offering app marketing services before anyone in town.  In fact most app developers only offer development services but Idea Apps offers both.

The app developers now wonder how Windows 7 will impact the app development market and will check in with us when they begin to see a change in the market. The smartphone applications market is picking up steam this year and we expect this year to be one of the best for Idea Apps.

Idea Apps are specialized app developers, iPhone app developers and Android app developers.  They offer app marketing services and treat each app as an individual business.  You can go to their app developers website or contact them directly at info@ideaapps2cash.com

Our favorite dedicated app developers were pleased to announce they have opened up a satellite office in Austin, Texas.   It seems Austin, Texas is the place to be for all things social and in a recent study Austin, Texas is 6th for the most social city.  Since apps are social Idea Apps, Inc. decided they had to open an office and serve as Austin Texas app developers.  The app developers have assured us they are still San Antonio proud and will continue to serve San Antonio as well as the rest of the world.   So, look out Austin here comes Idea Apps, Inc.

The team is working on several new cool apps but they aren’t allowed to talk about them just yet.  They have promised to update us as soon as possible.  They have a few inquires from local plumbers and they are talking about apps making the plumbing business a bit easier.  Stay tuned for more about Plumber Austin and other great app ideas.  If you need Android app developers or iphone app developers check out their site.

Idea Apps, Inc.  Proud San Antonio Texas app developers are also known as AustinTexas App Developers.

Here at the Idea Finishing School, we are so proud of our grads, PREE Corp.  They recently talked with the San Antonio Business Journal about the company, their expanding technology portfolio, and their future growth plans.  Click here to see the full article on PREE in the San Antonio Business Journal.

PREE participated in the Idea Finishing School’s program for early-stage companies during the second half of last year.  They are the innovators of such revolutionary technologies as the PREEcharge™ wireless charger and the BabyMAT™ wireless baby monitor.  Their team is agile and experienced, tapping their most valuable resources as they bring their new technologies to market.  We couldn’t be more happy for our grads and look forward to their continued success.

Our beloved app developers, Idea Apps, Inc. has been hard at work the last few weeks.  The website is bringing in record app ideas and app development requests.  Part of the Idea Apps success is their rates are lower than any of their competitors with faster time lines.  In fact one of their competitors keeps a close eye on our very own app developers and follows Idea Apps leads in marketing and offering services.  However, the competitors have not figured out how to lower their prices to actually compete with our preferred app developers.

Idea Apps has been very excited about a few of their app idea development requests and was excited to see how unique each project is and how all the apps will add value to the app markets.  The app developers have been hard at work on a few secret apps they won’t even tell us about.  We hope to learn about some of these projects as they are completed.

Idea Apps is still reporting increased sales with the Android app orders and they feel the Android app orders will begin to push iPhone app orders into second place.  The app developers are anxiously awaiting an app order for Windows 7.

Idea Apps, Inc. is an app development company and they are iPhone app developers, Android app developers, BlackBerry and Facebook app developers.  They develop apps for every platform with faster time lines than any other company.  Don’t let the fast time lines fool you as their quality is just as good or better than the other guys.  We suspect Idea Apps programmers may not ever sleep!

App Developers, Idea Apps, Inc. have had a really great start to a very interesting year in the app department.  The express news story that we mentioned last week helped the app company widen their client base here in San Antonio, Texas with small to medium sized businesses.  The news article peaked interested with the small to medium sized businesses here in San Antonio and Idea Apps has been very busy building a lot of great company apps.

The article helped the area to realize talented app developers that are local and willing to help our community flourish.  The Idea apps team has been very busy lately with a large app project that has everyone whispering.  Unfortunately, due to contracts and disclosures Idea Apps will not be able to announce the latest big app project.  We can tell you that Idea Apps is working very hard to become the largest app developer in Texas.  Watch for their continued story as they grow.

You can reach the App Developers by clicking the link.  They develop all types of apps for individuals and businesses.

San Antonio Express News interviewed Idea Apps to get the story on the San Antonio app scene.  Idea apps is the largest app developer in San Antonio, Texas.  Here is the publication:

Got apps? San Antonio does.

More smart phones and tablets are expected to hit the market this year, creating a greater demand for more mobile applications and San Antonio-based companies are taking advantage of this growing market.

A recent study by Gartner Inc. estimates that app store downloads will reach 17.7 billion in 2011, a 117 percent jump from the more than 8 billion last year. Plus, the study forecasts that 185 billion apps will have been downloaded between 2008 and 2014.

About 81 percent of all app store downloads are free, but the revenue continues to soar. Last year, app store revenue hit about $5.2 billion. This year, that figure could triple, with revenue expected to hit $15.2 billion.

With a wide range of operating systems, smart phones, tablets and other computer devices the number of app stores is growing. Apple’s app store offers about 350,000 mobile applications but competitor stores are growing like Google’s Android market, Nokia’s Ovi store, Research In Motion’s app world (for the Blackberry), Samsung apps and Microsoft’s marketplace.

It was that type of growth that lured Rudy W. De La Garza into the business. He is the co-founder and chief financial officer for Idea Apps Inc., a local company that helps programming novices to create mobile applications for iPhone and Android devices. The company launched last year and already has helped multiple companies develop applications, including AutoMed, which reminds people when to take medications.

De La Garza said individuals can make money from app development, but he stressed the importance for companies to develop applications for marketing purposes.

“People are using smart phones more now than computers because people are mobile,” he said. “People are on the go and want information in an instant. We want to know what everyone is doing at all times. Apps keep you connected with the consumer and can help get the word out that your company exists. That’s valuable tool.”

Idea Apps, Inc. offers app development on every platform for the individual or small to medium sized businesses. We offer rates our competitors can’t with faster time lines.  To make an appointment with the app developer experts you can contact them via their website:  Idea Apps or you can call them direct:  (866)610-4332 ext: 101  They also offer free consultations.

Our mobile application development partner, Idea Apps Inc, is going to be featured in the San Antonio Express News.  The journalist will be making a stop by their offices tomorrow and will get the opportunity to learn more about the exciting developments at Idea Apps and how mobile application investments can pay off for businesses and individuals in and around the community.

Idea Apps is a dedicated app developer studio that specializes in mobile phone application development for individuals and businesses across all platforms, including iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and more.  Combined, the founders and team at Idea Apps have over 40 years of experience in technology and business development.  Their philosophy is to treat each app idea as its own business while helping the individuals and businesses recognize and take advantage of their mobile app investments.

The mobile phone market is a rapidly-growing billion dollar industry that can benefit both individuals and businesses.  For businesses, investing in a mobile phone app is a great way to market your products and services, connect with customers, and drive traffic.  A great article on more of the business-related benefits of mobile app investment can be seen at the Wall Street Journal.  At the Idea Finishing School, we recommend considering a mobile app investment to help promote and market our early-stage companies, if the fit is right.
