  1. Hmm, interesting! Just wondering how stable might be these “handmade” apps especially for business purposes

    • Hey Greg, as a company we’ve created over 500,000 mobile apps for just about any industry you can think of so extremely stable would be the answer here. We have satisfied customers all over the world.

  2. I want to ask. Are the apps created from this actually good enough to be customized according to your needs? I have tried some tools before and it simply transforms a website into an app. I am not really pleased.

    • Absolutely! We have too many design options to list to make your app look & feel custom. Also, depending on your industry, we have functionality that would really benefit your business. However, we’re not a custom app creation platform for “ideas” or “games”. We specifically focus on creating apps for small businesses that help increase customer loyalty and engagement.

  3. This means that small business owners now have a lot of options in getting their business out there. I personally think that apps have become essential due to the increasing mobile usage.

  4. Hi, I am a business owner and I am wonder how I can create my own app. I agree that all that I have been seeing are those makers that simply convert your website into an app. I want something that has something more – a functional feature that will make your app indispensable.

    • Hey Ivan, thanks for commenting. One of the main things we focus on at Bizness Apps is creating apps that have real value to the customers of small businesses. We focus on what we call “return on investment” features such as loyalty programs, mobile shopping cards, mobile food ordering, mobile reservations, geo-fenced push notifications, and more. We believe that apps are only useful if customers see value in them and make their lives easier or better. 🙂

  5. Wow! This looks so simple and easy. I love the interface and how user-friendly it appears to be. I really want to try this out! Thanks for posting this blog, I would have never tried this app out without this recommendation! Thank you!
