>> The Apple is a self-service online tool that allows you to make your own native iPhone android iPad app just in a few minutes using your existing RSS feed. And we provide you with the, the tab icons and everything else. So without further adieu we'll do a live demo if WiFi is working, yeah. So you log into the Apple.sets inaudible.com. You sign in and you say start a new app. So if you scroll down the screen please. So here we have, there are 4 steps. The first step is where we show you a demo of what needs to be done. So in the first box you put in your auto sets for your website of the blog. Then you say what is the name of this RSS feed. Here we say it's inaudible beat. Then you select the tab icon. That becomes your tab icon. So as you do this you can see what's getting built right on the screen on your right hand side. It gives you a, this is not the real app, but it gives you what it's gonna look like in your iPhone. So here we will add one more feed and see what happens. So we're gonna add the mobile beak RSS feed. And Arti's phonetic just gonna type that in. See what happens on the right hand side of the iPhone? And then she's gonna select the tab icon. Bingo! Here is your mobile RSS feed. And Matt is that the latest articles that you have on the site? inaudible Yep. So this is live guys. This is; we are not doing it from the laptop, this is from the internet, then going to the inaudible site, getting the live, live feed, and then getting all the entire content along with the images for you. And then you can add up to 12 such feeds, or 12 sections within your app. So if you have more than a few feeds you can add, keep adding those. And then you go to the next page. See here you can see it's getting refreshed as Arti clicks on the icon. Go to the next page. This is where you put in the name of your application. That's how it will be known in the app store. Then you select an app icon. So if you click on the browse please. And you go to inaudible folder. And then select the home icon. So this is your typically your logo. And if you like to launch inaudible so when your application launches it shows you your branded logo for a couple of seconds. So we pick that. Put that in. And you're done building the app, believe it or not. The next step, the step number 3 is really all about how you're gonna describe your application within the app store. So you look and read about it. You can say what kind of keywords they're, they can search your app on, what countries you want to list your app in. What are the primary and secondary categories within which your app will be listed? So you do that, and then you go to the next page. This is my favorite step; of course, it's, this is where I get paid. So for Maxell's phonetic special we have a $99 special where you can make your iPhone app for just $99 instead of regular $499. And then you can add options. You can have an android version. You can have an iPad version. When iPad will be launched will make the app compatible with the iPad, so user experience is customized for the iPhone, iPad. And, and we are the first ones to really have a push notification option. So if you have a breaking story as a blogger or a, or a new site, and you post it out to your user, user is not using your app. But you can push a notification to them saying, hey, we have an exclusive story on our blog, come and read it. So you can have that option here too. And then finally, if you like some custom development above and beyond the standard features we offer, we will do that for you. And this, you're pretty much done. And you go to the next page and pay with the PayPal.
