What is an iPhone app and why do I need one?
Official sources define an iPhone app as an application (software) built specifically for the iPhone (an Internet – and multimedia – enabled smartphone). Why do I need one? We believe that apps are the future of communication, business, trade, education, e-commerce, entertainment, gaming, etc… There have already been over 85 million smartphone devices (iPhone, Android) sold in the last three years. Experts say that the number will grow to 400 million in the next three years. Today apps may be considered a luxury for some, but tomorrow they will be a commodity.
Can I build an app in Windows or do I need a Mac?
No you don't need a Mac. Use AppBaker to build iPhone Apps on Windows or Mac OS X. It's all browser based so you don't need to download or install anything.
Who can use App Baker?
App Baker offers a web-based building and editing interface with no downloads or installations required. Everyone can sign-up and start building delicious apps on Windows or Mac OS X.
Do I need special skills to build and update my app with App Baker?
No! An average computer/internet user can easily learn how to build and manage apps with App Baker Builder. The intuitive user interface facilitates a fast learning curve.
What are the major features of App Baker?
Real-time editing, live iPhone preview, offline content, custom content, photos, videos, rss feeds, social features and more… You can find out in detail at http://appbaker.com/en/features/.
Do I need an Apple Developer Account to build and test my app?
The short answer is "NO you don't need to, but you can if you want to". You can sign up online and use the App Baker builder tools to build your app. We will take care of the submission process, so that you don't need to have an account with Apple. However, if you want to open an account, we can -for a fee- submit your app under your account or give you the binary so that you can submit the app yourself.
How can I see and test my app on the iPhone prior to submitting it to App Store?
Sure a simulator is great but actually showing off your app in your hand is way cooler. You can simply register your device with AppBaker and download the AppBaker Player. Your app will show up in the Player automatically and will play and behave as if it were installed on the iPhone.
How do I submit my app to App Store?
No need to worry :). App Baker takes care of the submission of your app to App Store.
Do I need to submit my app to App Store each time I make a change?
In most cases… no :) Content changes such as updates to RSS feeds, photos, videos, and text are usually updated automatically without the need to resubmit to App Store. Bundled content, new screens and styling changes will require re-submission. Also, App Baker Builder is regularly upgraded to offer new features and functionality; incorporating new features into your app that were not embedded in the compiled version of your app at the time of submission to App Store, will require re-submitting your app.
How long does it take to get my App on App store?
App Baker reviews your app prior to submitting it to App Store. We aim to complete the review cycle within 72 hours, however please be patient as it may take longer during busy periods. Once your app is submitted to App Store, App Store may take several days to approve.
Is there a cost if I have to resubmit to App Store?
AppBaker charges 75 EURO for each resubmission request. You will only be charged for resubmissions requested by you. Extra charges apply for re-submissions under your own Apple Developer account.
Can I use my custom artwork in my App?
Yes, you can use your own app icon, splash screen, background, fonts, colors, tab icons, etc… See a list of all features here.
What if I cannot create custom graphics? Can App Baker assist me?
Any design agency will be able to help you with artwork. However we have our own exprienced design team available to help with styling and customizing your App. Custom styling services can be added as part of the checkout process right after you select the starter pack you want.
Can I build an offline app (no internet connection required) with App Baker?
Most definitely! AppBaker supports optionally bundling your content with the submitted App so that users won't need an internet connection when they use the app.
Can I build paid apps with App Baker?
Yes of course! However, you will need your own Apple Developer Account under which the app will be submitted. You will receive the full sales revenue directly from Apple. We can undertake the whole submission process or give you the Application binary and related material so that you can submit yourselves.
Please contact us if you would like to make alternative arrangements.
Can I build an Android and iPad application?
Coming in 2023 :). No! Just kidding… Just around the corner. Our iPhone development team have already started working on an iPad interface, and we have a separate team working on an Android interface. So watch this space…
How much does App Baker cost?
App Baker with the fully customizable Vanilla starter pack starts at 499 EURO one-off and 30 EURO per month. There are no additional costs for extra usage or number of downloads! Check each starter pack for their corresponding pricing.
Why is there a monthly cost?
App Baker is a SAAS (software as a service) that allows continuous and regular updates and upgrades to the platform with new features without interrupting the service to the user. You are not required to pay a lump sum for a software license fee when you sign up. The monthly cost ("service fee") covers software license fees and hosting of your App. AppBaker keeps your App configuration and more importantly it's data (this is where your App will be fed from) and offers continuous access through an on-line service from where you can manage your content and make changes to your App.
Is there a time commitment?
No there is no time commitment. You can cancel your subscription any time. However please check our Refund Policy.
If my app gets really big, does this affect the cost?
NO! Our pricing does not depend on the number of downloads or extra usage.

What happens to my app if I cancel my subscription?

What happens if my app is rejected from App Store?
