ChurchDrop.com just featured a great tutorial on how to create your own iPhone app for your church. It’s practically free with a new web app called AppMakr. Read the full article here.
AppMakr is a free service that allows you to basically drag and drop an app into creation. The base cost to get your app to the iPhone is $99.00 for registering as a developer with Apple. There also may be some other costs associated with rebuilds of your app as well. Compared to what used to be over $1,000, this is a fantastic way to save money and get your church on the iTunes store.

Before I begin, let me preface this post by saying that I own an iPod Touch. I’m very familiar with the ins and outs of Apple computers. I’ve worked on a Mac for several years and really enjoyed the experience. However, I’m not a die-hard Apple guy. I tend to see myself as a hybrid user. I really don’t care if it’s a PC (unless it’s Vista) or a Mac.
This Saturday the much anticipated iPad will be released to the public. I have several friends who are cult followers of Apple who plan on standing in line for hours to get their hands on this new digital treasure. The iPad is certainly worthy of buzz, but is it really worth taking an entire day to make one purchase?
I’ve been thinking a lot about the response to the iPad. The day it was revealed, the sun stood still for techies. It was said to be the death sentence for netbooks and a new era of gadgetry. I voiced/tweeted a skeptical opinion and was sharply rebuked by a couple of passionate Apple junkies. Later that day, someone posted that Steve Jobs has a way of creating things we didn’t know we needed. Three things in short happened that day across the US:

After Mars Hill Church released their iPhone app, I’ve had a deluge of people wanting to know how to create their own iPhone app. To begin, if you’re looking for free, you probably shouldn’t be trying to create an app. There are a few ways you can go about getting your own custom application.
If I were undertaking this project, I would go with option 3. I have never used Mobile Roadie, however I’ve looked into their site extensively and it appears to service all the needs a church might have in an app. It’s originally created for bands, but it can be morphed into a pretty feature-rich digital church app. Here are some of the features that caught my eye:
They also offer custom functionality for additional cost. Check out all the features here.
