Painting the Town with Google apps

The Wet Brush is on the move painting the town with Google apps.

For some time I've been wanting an app that did it all. An app that went to my professional artist site. An app that went to my blog. An app that went to my facebook page. Over the past few days I've visited many app developing sites offering free app construction. A majority of them missed the mark.

I was not aiming at getting into the nuts and bolts of app developing. That is not where I wanted to focus my concentration. It seems that for everything I wanted my app to do-it became necessary to put on my "geek" hat. It was challenging, fun and exciting all at the same time. I guess that fits the category of "artist".

It boils down to: what do you want your app to do for you?

For me, seeing that I am at many sites on the web by means of promoting my work, I needed an app that would point in all directions at the touch of a button. Now that I've upgraded my phone to an android (that took me 5 years), I can do many, many, many more things with it. Ultimately, I want to catch the sale right then and there-on the spot. Now I can by using the phone as my marketing tool.

I went with App Yet for my app development. Their dashboard is a bit more extensive than Como, Appsgeyser or Mobincube. They require you to have a google gmail account. The app developed through App Yet never expires and it is free to develop and place on your own phone. If  you are wanting to reach a more expansive audience you will have to submit it to the Google Play Store for others to download your app. There is a fee to submit it to Google Play.

Once you see your app up and running in the Google Play Store-it's an awesome experience. Shout it! Scream it! Get the word out. You'll be glad you did.

Happy Trails
