I was looking online for app building services and I found this article:

http://mashable.com/2013/12/03/build-mobile-apps/#0A3G7z3iuqk9

I did a demo of appery.io and it looked quite nice.

@brian do you have an recommendations?

not sure that any of us build mobile apps. I don't.

I don't either. I thought maybe Brian had some knowledge since he had that mobile backend business a few years back. I was actually looking at appery.io and it's looks pretty straightforward. I figured I would throw it out there and see if anyone had a suggestion. :-)

I did 'dabble' with a few app building packages a year or so ago but didn't take it very far. Appery was one of them and I do recall it being one of the easier ones to use, though iirc was concerned that it was a bit limited it was it could do.
As I said, didn't delve very deep so could be wrong.

I haven't really tried any of them yet... it's one of those things, which I'm sure you can understand, where you don't want to spend too much time working with one of the "bad ones" only to learn that another one was better. What drew me to appery.io was the ability to use the restful with proxima. I'm sure others have the same ability. It's also hard getting an good sense of what's good on the market. All the sites I've visited just have a list - it's like trying to pick out a web hosting provider and not knowing too much about hosting!

One that I really liked was trigger.io:

https://trigger.io/

they are definitely a bit on the pricey side, but back when I was running Trestle I created a sample mobile app in Trigger for a co-branded blog post, and I was really happy with how easy it was to create an app on their system.

Thanks Brian. I'll take a look at that one. Wasn't on any of the lists I looked at, but I value your opinion over any list. :)
