Creating an app as an actor in the event industry offers several benefits. Firstly, it's an effective communication tool, enabling easy and direct interaction with your target audience. Additionally, apps have become ingrained in consumer habits, making them a highly recommended solution. Users appreciate intuitive interfaces that provide immersive experiences, in contrast to traditional communication methods like billboards. Furthermore, with an app, you have the opportunity to collect valuable user behavior data, enabling you to adapt your strategies accordingly and improve their performance. Lastly, an app serves as a centralized platform, consolidating all event or business-related information. This saves time for both you and your users, eliminating the need to input information on multiple platforms and providing users with quick and easy access to the information they seek. Follow our guide and learn how to create an app for an event. . Below, some examples of beautiful apps created by our clients.

In a recent post, we covered Google's new requirements regarding the Data Safety questionnaire. In this article, we also spoke about the fact that, following these requirements, apps that use comments must have set their Terms of Service. Their end users should accept them before being able to comment.  To help you with writing your Terms of Service, we create new templates, available directly in your app back office.

Using GoodBarber, a no-code mobile app creation platform, resellers can target many types of customers. Today, we'll see how you can sell a "News" app to a newspaper or online media, for example. While users spend on average 4 hours a day on their smartphones (sometimes more), having an app, for a newspaper or an online media, is almost a must. An app is an essential tool to continue to inform and maintain a connection with its readers. As such, a mobile app is an essential extension of existing print or web formats to continue to inform and be read. Today we will see how GoodBarber can help you meet the demand of newspapers, media, and content publishers who want to offer a unique experience to their users with a mobile news app.

As March celebrates Women's History Month, we decided to focus on women among our clients. Our newsletter features the success story of Kristina Braly, a physician and lifestyle influencer who found the perfect complement to her YouTube channel and blog with her app KBHD. Today, we're putting the spotlight on another success story: the Pretty Deadly App, a self-defense app for women. 

With this new template, we wanted to update a transversal element of our apps: the multi-categories. This element can be displayed in all list templates of all content types. This Tags template will greatly contribute to upgrading the visual of your app, giving a modern and trendy vibe. Perfect for news apps, podcasts, travel guides, etc...

And we are back again with a new template for the popular map section. This section is going through a beautiful makeover with all these new updates :)  This time, you can now display a summary of your locations in the map view with a slider.   

Today, we're releasing another design update that will allow you to modernize the look of your app even more: a new material icons library. These icons are available both for content apps and eCommerce apps. With this new collection of icons, we're adding more than 2200 new icons in 4 different styles, giving you a library of over 8000 icons altogether.

And another design update for the Map section! With this template, we complete the redesign of the map section, one of the most popular sections in GoodBarber. This template will be exclusively available on mobile.  Here we're offering a Split-view template as you can already see on Google Maps.

In 2021, Google announced additional details for the Data safety section on Google Play. Developers are now required to tell Google about their apps' privacy and security practices by completing a form in Play Console. This information will be shown on your app's Store Listing to help Google Play users understand how your app collects and shares user data before they download. By 20 July 2022, all developers must declare how they collect and handle user data for the apps that they publish on Google Play and provide details about how they protect this data through security practices.  By not following these guidelines, you will find yourself at risk of having your app removed from the Play Store. Note: if you have subscribed to the GoodBarber Takes Care service, no worries. If you receive this type of email, simply open a ticket with our support team who will handle this for you

This month we are proud to introduce a brand new navigation mode: the Floating TabBar. It is a new and trendy version of the popular TabBar navigation mode. The TabBar is very popular because it follows the "thumb rule of design" and is very intuitive. The essential screens and pages of an app should be within the user's thumb reach. The TabBar places the essential sections of the app within the user's thumb's reach, improving convenience and accessibility. The floating version will bring a modern touch to the overall look of your app.   Below is a summary of the developments and updates made during the month of February 2023:

One of the most popular is the bottom navigation bar.  We already offer a tabBar template amongst our current 5 navigation menu templates.

The increasing demand for B2B mobile applications is clear, as shown by Asset Global's report which predicts the market value to reach $140 billion in 2023. This is largely due to the easy accessibility of smartphones and other mobile devices, which many business team workers, customers, and stakeholders use to manage their day-to-day tasks. There are various ways businesses can take advantage of this technology by creating practical applications to make their work easier and more efficient.
