4 Myths About Native Applications
Written by Muriel Santoni on Monday 29 June 2015
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.

Written by Muriel Santoni on Monday 29 June 2015
The famous Pikes Peak race that we have talking about recently finally took place yesterday, and the GoodBarber team is very pleased with the results.
Our friend Bruno Langlois came in 3rd place with a time of 10:19:738. Even if he didn't match his big win from two years ago, he still impressed us on his Kawasaki (factory bike, needless to say!)
Native sharing of iOS and Android - Better, Easier, Cooler.
blog_write_no_author Friday 26 June 2015
"Create good content and make it shareable".
It's always a matter of time... Well, for you as content creator, it's more a matter of sharing.
Word of mouth is one of the primary things you research when you are starting an activity, and when going mobile you need to be sure that your content can be easily shared through every channel.
That's why it's important to have a native app with a deep connection to all the other apps installed on your phone (Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, SMS, etc..)—this will ensure that your users can share your content with their friends and be your best ambassadors.

Should I Publish an iOS or Android App?
Written by GoodBarber Team on Monday 22 June 2015
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.

Internet-free Apps
Written by GoodBarber Team on Monday 15 June 2015
A lot of GoodBarber users ask us the question: Can I create an app that can be used without Internet? This can be a great asset for people targeting users in locations around the world with little or unreliable internet sources, or just for anybody who knows the struggle of a faulty connection.
The answer is yes and no. One of the many wonderful things about native applications as opposed to web apps is their increased accessibility. Without internet, viewing the mobile version of an app in a browser is quite difficult. Native apps have a much better chance of being used in non-internet zones, but there are restrictions that must be kept in mind. We will give you all the info you need to know on your constraints specifically within the GoodBarber platform, and some tricks you can use to get around these limitations in certain cases!

#MIDEM 2015
Written by Muriel Santoni on Wednesday 10 June 2015
MIDEM 2015 has come to an end...we've seen and heard a lot over the past four days!

One of the most popular and useful tools of the platform is the Map section. You can use it to generate geolocated directories containing businesses, products, services, etc. by either creating your own customized map section (if you have the skills!) or utilizing the mCMS option, which is what we focus on in this tutorial.
Does anyone talk on the phone anymore?
Written by Arianna Testi on Monday 8 June 2015
Isn't it strange that the first reaction of those who saw the video "condemning" the use of internet and social networks was to share it with their followers?
Maybe...or maybe not!
Are we really sure that internet, smartphones, chats and social networks are making our lives sadder and lonelier? Are they really causing us to waste our lives away and miss out on opportunities?

Apps & The Music Industry
Written by Muriel Santoni on Monday 1 June 2015
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.

[Video Tutorial] How to connect my app to third party advertising services
Written by Laura Mas on Wednesday 6 May 2015
Hi GoodBarbers!
Today we are going to show you one of the opportunities our platform offers to monetize your app: advertisements. Sell space in your app to advertisers and watch your revenue quickly increase!
In addition to being able to create your own ads in your back office, you can also connect your app to a third party advertising service, so you don't have to worry about dealing with advertisers.
In this video tutorial, you will learn how to enable the advertisement options in your back office from the Add-Ons store and how to connect those services to your app. To give you a practical example, in the video we show you the process of connecting Admob. However, you'll have the opportunity to implement ads from different services, such as Mobpartner, Swelen or dfp, amongst others.
Moreover, GoodBarber allows you to define the platform (Android smartphones, iPad, etc) in which your ads will be displayed, as well as the order of your campaigns.
