Winnipeg, Canada The market for apps that run on Android smartphones and tablets continues to grow significantly, with over 500,000 Android smartphones activated every day. Current market research shows that Android
now holds the largest portion of the smartphone industry at 39 percent, even surpassing Apple's iOS which sits at 28 percent.
To address that huge market, Indigo Rose Software has launched the "Andromo App Maker" for Android. Andromo is a free application that makes Android app development quick and easy enough for anyone. Andromo uses a simple point-and-click process designed to create professional Android apps in as little as five minutes. Users are walked through the steps needed to customize their app‚s appearance and specify features and functions. Andromo then builds a fully-functional, customized app ready to be uploaded to the Android Market and promoted to millions of customers.
Andromo's streamlined online app making process is quick and easy to use and provides professional results. Users have full control over the appearance of their apps from background colors, textures and graphics to the position
of text and icons on screen. Apps made with Andromo can open websites, display graphics, and bring in blog posts, Twitter feeds, Facebook updates, and more. Advanced activities are also possible, such as the ability to
embed websites and html pages directly into the app. Andromo was also designed to be easily extended with new functions and activities as the Android product and market expands in the months ahead.
"Most app creation software now on the market focuses on iPhone apps with Android development as an afterthought," says Indigo Rose Software President Colin Adams. "Andromo apps look and feel like Android apps, not iPhone apps or web sites." Adams adds that with Andromo a user doesn't have to be a programmer or hire one to make an app. "We created a tool from the ground up that was designed specifically for Android, the apps you create with Andromo look and feel like the apps you see in the Android Market." Adams says they wanted to create something that anyone could use to make Android apps, not just programmers. "We wanted something that could democratize app making, like Blogger did for the web, without flooding the Android market with poorly programmed apps. If you can use Blogger or Wordpress, you can use Andromo."
