This week, Jerome covers 2 interesting subjects: the value of an app in your communication strategy, and the way to drive traffic to it from your website.

Here is the changelog for this Tuesday update.

The GoodBarber team will be on tour in February. Like last year, we'll exhibit at the Salon de la Radio, in Paris. And of course, we'll be in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress. But this year, we'll also organize a meetup for the GoodBarber users living in Barcelona, during the MWC.

You probably know that to publish an app, you need to own a developer account for the App Store, and a publisher account for Google Play. Jerome focuses today on the Google Play Publisher account. We'll also look at the best tips to write a good App Store description. Don't you want your app to be discovered?

We asked 5 questions to Jean-Micaël Saltzmann from TrésorSonore.com about how he uses GoodBarber

Today, we will discuss about the big traffic shift every app creator sees, from their website to their mobile app. We will also see what are the best practices to send push notifications.

Michal Pichel, the founder of hitek.fr took some time to tell us how he uses GoodBarber.

Today, we're going to have a look to some deep features that you can use to customize your app a lot more! It can be a little technical to manage, but that's worth it. You may have noticed a section of the backoffice called Settings API. Trust me, that's where the best features are hidden ;)

We had a lot of funny moments this year ... Here's what happens behind the scenes :) Thank you all for your great support. You can't imagine how 2014 will be a great year!

We have already talked about it in the past, now we will resume what has been said and delve further into the subject. As you all know, an app can help you to increase your customer base and your traffic. But before this can be possible is important that your new app is presented to the world! You must to expect a normal period of transition in which you will try to redirect the users of your mobile website to your app. At this point, it is usual to undertake marketing strategies to promote the app and make it known to the world.

This week, the team focuses on 3 new subjects: radio apps, skills and updates :)

Merry christmas, with love from the GoodBarber team!

We have discussed many times the "benefits" that the creation of an app can bring to your brand, not only as a commercial brand, but also as a blog, a VIP, a radio, a club, etc.   Nowadays, native apps provide a better user experience and improve the way content is made available. The experience that a mobile application offers to users is much more rewarding than the one offered by a mobile web app.

Today we're focusing on three new subjects: native apps vs. web apps, which platform is the better to start, and app analytics! Learn what our team can tell you about these questions.

Trees decorated to the nines, sparkling lights, smell of hot chocolate down the streets and soft white snow that covers everything. Christmas is coming!

Your users will appreciate that you want to support the Christmas mood! :D Here some advice to design your app for this period of festivity!

4 questions to Philippe, founder of Decideo  

Your GoodBarber app embeds social sharing features that will help your users to spread the word about your content. It means that almost everywhere in the app, your readers have access to a "share" button that will lead them the sharing screen.   You've probably already added such features to your website: you can easily understand that the more the process will be easy for your users to share your posts or videos, the more they'll share it :)   Since the GoodBarber 2.5 Salvador release, we've also integrated Facebook likes into the apps. It means that once your reader is logged in your app with his Facebook account, he'll just have to click on the "heart" button to like the post he's reading. It's not exactly the same action than a real Facebook share: a share will create a new post in the user's timeline, and a like will just appear in the Facebook ticker feed.   To be honnest, as a Facebook user, I prefer most of the times to just "like" a blog post than to actually "share" it to my friends: the two actions are totally different and apply in different situations.   GoodBarber also allows you to ask your users to login using Facebook or Twitter to post a comment, to bookmark a content, or to submit a picture/video/text from a Submit section. You should enable this feature if you don't want the comments on your website to be anonymous.
