<div class="h5">Hi all,<br><br>Glad to see this list come back to life. (I expect someone will complain about inappropriate posts/topics any moment)<br><br>I often get requests from clients to build simple mobile apps that pull in data from their Drupal site. For example, a client just asked for a simple app that would basically pull in updates from their blog.<br>
<br>The wisdom of such as App aside, I don't do this type of work and don't really know anyone who does. <br><br>A couple of questions.<br><br>1. Any idea what a simple app like this -- IOS and Android -- should cost to have built? Including any associated costs of adding it to itunes, etc?<br>
<br>2. Any tools out there that would help build a simple App like this without having to learn how to build apps. I'm thinking add rss feed, get app type of thing?<br><br>3. If anyone out there does this and is interested in the work, feel free to contact me off list. (I don't know if I will get bombarded with emails, so I apologize in advance if I don't get back to you -- a rough cost estimate in your email to me would definitely be helpful)<br>
