buzztouch is flexible, powerful, and professional web-based software that powers thousands of iPhone, iPad, and Android applications. This well tested software is an extensible and effective tool used to create iOS and Android "apps", then manage content within those apps. Simply put, buzztouch is Content Management Software (CMS) for iOS and Android. It is supported by a very active and friendly community of developers and users. If you're just getting started creating mobile software, you've found the right place. If you're a seasoned developer or designer, buzztouch can increase your efficiency in ways no other solution can.
buzztouch was conceptualized in 2009 by David Book while enrolled in the Information Technology and Communication Design bachelor degree program at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB). David's exciting project won the universities Outstanding Integrated Capstone Award. David was already a veteran software developer and database engineer, and was returning to school to pursue a design degree. He and his longtime business partner Stephen Mercurio introduced buzztouch to the public later that year. David and Stephen's strong business relationship continues while they evolve the platform and support the community.
buzztouch is focused on helping site visitors create their own mobile software. App owners create software that sometimes relies on the buzztouch control panel, and / or software that is "stand alone" with no dependency on the buzztouch backend. The ability for app-owners to disconnect their applications from the buzztouch control panel and backend offers a sense of security and peace-of-mind to app owners that may otherwise be anxious about using FREE online tools to author their software and manage their valuable content.
The buzztouch software is used by several types of people, each with their own motive. Aspiring Developers and Designers, Professional Developers, and Content Publishers (app owners). The usefulness of the buzztouch software will ultimately depend on your intended purpose, programming skill level, and design objective.
Aspiring developers and Designers use it primarily because they are unable to create mobile software without it - buzztouch makes it very easy for new developers and stylish designers to deploy professional-grade mobile software without having to learn complex programming languages or advanced development principles.
Professional developers and experienced programmers that create mobile software for clients and customers also benefit from the flexibility and ease-of-use buzztouch offers. However, these types of users also understand the significance and benefit of using one code-base for all their product offerings. Managing client projects that number in the hundreds can get tedious and the buzztouch control panel simplifies common administration tasks.
Content Publishers (app owners) come in many different flavors. Businesses, churches, schools, individuals, and just about anyone else you can think of that is publishing content these days. buzztouch allows publishers to quickly design and deploy mobile apps to distribute their content to customers, students, staff, family members or anyone else running "their app."
Download the source-code for your application after you create it online. App's created at buzztouch.com are downloaded by their owners, compiled using Xcode (iOS), or Eclipse (Android) then distributed through the App Store or the Android Market. We do not submit apps to app stores or app markets, this is up to the app creators and owners. We help you create software, it's up to you do decide what you want to do with it.
We are sincere about offering our service for free and we have no hidden agendas. We encourage anyone to build an app, download the source-code, compile it, then distribute it. The more times this happens, the better. We hope to see hundreds of thousands (millions?) of mobile applications that are powered by buzztouch. We are well on our way.
