Back in town

Written by Méryl Fiamma  on  Wednesday 22 May 2013

Hi there !

My name is Méryl and I just joined the GoodBarber’s team.

Graduated from an Advertising and Communication school in Paris named ISCOM, I got a job at Kassius’s agency (WPP group) after my final internship. I was Digital Project Manager in this agency during one year and a half.

After this job, I decided to realise my dream and go to the american west coast to learn english, discover California and see the Silicon Valley ;)

Many of you have enabled the social sharing options into your apps, and you're right! It's a very good way to encourage your users to spread the word about your app and your content.

Since last week, the Android beta is opened on GoodBarber. You probably noted that new options have appeared in your backend: in expert mode, you can now upload a specific icon and a specific splash screen for your Android app.

In order to set up properly the sharing options in your app, you need to set up a new parameter in the Facebook and Twitter apps you have already created.
