We wanted to create and app to offer our users the best reading experience on their smartphones, and the app stores offer us another way to find new readers. ## What are the advantages to use an app builder? The app builder has allowed us to easily pull the content from our website and produce a beautiful app without the upfront costs of developing an app for each platform. Perfect when you're a bootstrapped startup! ## Why did you choose GoodBarber? What can you say about this solution? We decided on GoodBarber after getting a number of quotes for app development, and trying out most of the other DIY solutions available. We found **GoodBarber offered us the most control for the best price**, and Jerome was always on hand to answer any questions that came up. - [#DIY app](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/tags/diy%20app) - [#news app](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/tags/news%20app) ![Jerome Granados](https://blog.goodbarber.com/_public/profile/1b/1b6453892473a467d07372d45eb05abc2031647a-default.jpg) About the author[Jerome Granados](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/author/jerome-granados/)CMO I am the CMO and a partner at GoodBarber.
