The future of mobile apps: Appboy at SxSW 2013

By now, everyone knows that SxSW was not about mobile apps.

What worked in the past for Twitter, Foursquare, GroupMe, Sonar and Highlight did not work in 2013. In fact, there was no clear winner at SxSW. Sure, people talked about new set of emerging technologies like 3D printing, collaborative tech, gesture tech and space exploration, but none of these can claim the title of “the next big thing.”

Appboy joins forces with HootSuite to make mobile apps more social

Things at Appboy just got a little more social.

Today, we’re joining HootSuite’s App Directory to connect the mobile app experience with conversations people are having on the social web. App developers who use Appboy can now easily monitor social chatter among their mobile audience and gain a better understanding of how people use their app, all from the comfort of HootSuite’s dashboard.

Appboy partners with AppStori to help app entrepreneurs succeed

We’re excited to announce a partnership with AppStori, the crowdfunding platform for mobile apps.

Over the last few months, we’ve gotten to know Michael, Arie and the rest of the AppStori team and we absolutely love their vision. AppStori makes it possible for any up-and-coming developer to jumpstart their app idea by giving them a platform to showcase the project. People can then contribute financially to a campaign as well as provide feedback and support to the entrepreneurs. Appstori’s thriving community is one of its biggest assets, because it provides many of the intangible benefits to first-time entrepreneurs that money alone cannot buy.

Appboy launches new customer segmentation product

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new customer segmentation product on Appboy! This latest update to our platform offers app developers more robust tools to understand their audience and deliver targeted communications to specific groups of people.

Customer segmentation is the foundation of a strong mobile engagement strategy. It’s based on the simple assumption that people are different and their behaviors vary when using mobile products. To better serve their needs while communicating to them in an efficient manner, it’s necessary to cluster them into smaller groups that reflect their unique profiles and usage patterns.
