The bottom line is that there are a lot of non-programming options for apps these days, and AppMakr may not be your best choice. For instance, their apps will not run on the 1st gen iPod Touch, an arbitrary limitation. If you want to learn before you leap, there was a recent survey of almost two dozen app-building options: http://blog.appsfire.com/want-to-build-an-app-here-are-your-options

Too bad Appmakr doesn't work on 1st generation iPod Touch. Why not? No one knows.

This was a great tip! Thanks so much. I put together an app for my organization, then saw the cost ~ but my boss was so impressed he whipped out the credit card. I got handshakes he was so happy. Again, thanks!

Thanks Ed and Terry for the heads up.
Looks like a very interesting opportunity for folks.

There's another, free way to get rss post headlines and a few extra words including links on your iPhone.
Use WordPress & Twitter!
I run several sites focused on Temperature & Moisture Sensor technologies & new product news, We are converting them over to WordPress and already have five done.
Adding a twitter plugin has enabled us to blend the five rss feeds to a twitter account as tweets. Then, just looking at our twitter account in Safari (twitter.com/MrPyrometer) shows the tweets in order of postings.
Plus the live links, lets one easily get info from the linked sites without opening another app.
A plugin might make it easy but Safari & a bookmark on the iPhone is just about as easy, and totally free.
Love it!

You missed uBuildApp.com – way more features, no monthly fee, free updates, live preview, and so much more. If it sounds like a plug, it is. AppMakr has received a lot of press, but my biased opinion is uBuildApp.com is way better.

Terry – thanks for the heads up about the Contact Feed. I hadn't thought of that, and I've already published an App with Appmakr. "Adobe Talk" is awaiting approval for it's 2nd build. Heh heh, now I have to look at a 3rd build.

I can not download Terry White Built by AppMaker.com on my 1st generation IPod Touch.
The error displayed is:
This App is incompatible with this IPod Touch. This app requires a microphone.
