It's that time again—we leafed through many of your projects and narrowed it down to the 5 top apps we believe to be great examples of what can be achieved with our app builder. Not only do they all have a beautiful and tasteful design, but they also manage to incorporate a great variety of features and utilize the platform to its full potential. Check out our Top 5 Apps of 2016 and get some inspiration for the year to come!

The time has come to publish your Beautiful App on the stores. As you can see, in your GoodBarber back office, you have two options to choose from, either to do it yourself or to let the GoodBarber Takes Care team take over and manage the submission process for you, using your credentials, so that you will appear, in any case, as the developer / seller of your app on the stores.

A few years ago still, blogging seemed like the ideal medium to make one's voice heard. Very few people were covering the same subjects so it was easy for early adopters to emerge as experts in a specific category. Nowadays, even though monetization has never looked easier, it's also become more difficult to stand out and, most importantly, to keep the attention of ever more disrupted users, attracted by more entertaining formats (such as YouTube), and more instantaneous forms of communication (like Snapchat or Instagram). Bottom line is, it's never been harder to keep a loyal audience. 

Edit: Apple decided to give developers additional time to prepare their apps to comply with the requirements of App Transport Security (ATS). Until a new deadline is confirmed, rest assured, you now know that our beautiful team is ready ;)

As of January 1st, 2017, the App Store will introduce a new requirement for all iOS apps. Developers will have to use HTTPS connections rather than HTTP for all app requests. If an app fails to comply with this new security feature, it will be mandatory to provide a justification upon the review of your app by Apple, or else, it will be rejected.

With our app builder, anyone can build apps, one project at a time, but one can also use our Unlimited apps offer and start selling apps to clients. A business opportunity which attracts developers, looking to give clients back office access easily, designers, with the skills to customize the look and feel of an app through our API settings Add-On, and also, agencies. Some clients have even started their agency with GoodBarber only. So, to finish the year with a bang, today, we give you top quotes from our Resellers, to inspire you for the year to come.

Attention GoodBarbers, this year again, Apple made its Winter Holiday Schedule public. In case you didn't get the memo, please find the company's announcement below:

Last year, we decided to wish our GoodBarbers a Merry Christmas in the best way we could think of, with a beautiful app. One year later, we wanted to tell you the tale of how our Do It Yourself Christmas app came to life one beautiful December morning. 

Christmas is the perfect time of the year to connect with your audience. Customers are excepting a slight increase in the number of emails they receive and solicitations overall, which makes for perfect timing, as long as you communicate appropriately that is. How? Here are a few tips.

The end of the year is near, which means it’s already time to have a look back at 2016! Figures of a KPCB report on Internet Trends depict what looks like a promising future for app creation in 2017, in developed and affluent countries, where mobile penetration is high, among which Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, Russia and of course, the USA.

This week's feature, Fire Breathing Penguin Media, is an American agency offering mobile apps, websites, and video production to give clients from a large variety of industries high quality products while remaining reasonable and approachable. We love their down to earth vibe and creativity that seems to set them apart—the name alone intrigued us and we had to hear more. 

TestFlight is a free solution provided by Apple to test an iOS app before it is released on the App Store. It's an alternative you may consider if testing your app with the Ad Hoc version or with My GoodBarber is not an option for the project you're working on. From what I saw so far, TestFlight can be useful for some resellers when making iOS apps for clients.

In addition to having access to an unlimited number of app backends, with our reseller program also comes a unique interface, called the Reseller Dashboard, serving as a control panel for managing all things related to your account. This video will give you a brief overview of everything it can do, as well as how to go about getting one of your own.
