PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MotherApp, the industry-leading provider of cross platform mobile applications, today announced the beta launch of the MotherApp BlogEngine which consolidates blogs, tweets and YouTube videos into a native iPhone app without any coding. Versions for Android, BlackBerry and other major platforms will be available in early 2010.
"The MotherApp BlogEngine extends your brand and reach through the iPhone and is a means of monetizing your content," noted Ken Law, MotherApp CEO and Co-founder. "Readers can share posts through Twitter and Facebook and they can also read the posts offline," he added. Using MotherApp's BlogEngine, a personalized app can be generated in a matter of minutes, simply by uploading the RSS links and Twitter name, plus one picture for the icon and one for the loading page.
Luminaries, including Guy Kawasaki, Tim Ferriss, and Fred Wilson have already used BlogEngine to create their own native apps for iPhone. Their blogs are available in the App Store now.
"Currently, bloggers spend close to $10,000 to create their own mobile blog apps," said Ken Law. "Our mission is to democratize mobile app development so that everyone can app. To this end, we are opening BlogEngine to all qualified bloggers to create their own apps," he added. This application is available for free and enables bloggers to monetize their blog apps through 50/50 sharing of ad revenue. For bloggers who prefer no ads, the cost is $99 per year.
Sign up at http://www.motherapp.com/en/blogger/ and create your own app in minutes. MotherApp will submit your app to the App Store and advise you when it is approved and available.
