Why use Mobile Roadie?

Mobile is the future

There are nearly 5 billion mobile users around the world, and over 40 million iPhones and iPod Touches (as of October 2009). Mobile is with us everywhere, and by reaching people anywhere they are, you have a huge opportunity to sell, promote, engage, and be remembered.

MoRo is the fastest way to get an iphone or android app built and in the App Store

If you need an app quickly and easily, you can't do better than Mobile Roadie. Signing up takes 60 seconds, you get instant access to our system to build your app, and we submit to Apple or Google in less than 24 hours from you submitting it to us.

Our CMS enables instant app updates

Need to change content in your app? No problem. Log in to your Mobile Roadie account, make the change, and your app is instantly updated. Couldn't be simpler.

We're constantly improving and expanding the platform.

Mobile Roadie is a SaaS (software as a service). That's a fancy way of saying that in exchange for your monthly fee you get constant (every month or two) updates and upgrades to the platform. We stay on top of everything that's hot in the Mobile world, and keep your app ahead of the curve - automatically.

How does Mobile Roadie stack up against competitors?

We don't like to toot our own horn... but let's just say that for the quality and price, we can't be beat. There are a few cheaper solutions out there - and you get what you pay for. Additionally, beware of providers that offer you a "native" App with 100% web views once the user opens the app. While this is "native" it's a terrible user experience, and you're not going to get the right results.

Our social networking integration enable viral spread of your app content.

Your fans can spread the word about your brand, your event/show, your music, your content, way faster than you ever would. Because Facebook and Twitter are both integrated into Mobile Roadie, every comment they make - from "nice photo" to "I'm attending the show" gets put back into their Facebook or Twitter feed with a link to download your app. Just by using your app, your fans spread the word.

Thoughtfully designed and developed

Mobile Roadie is brought to you by veterans of the design and tech industry. Therefore, everything from ease of use in the dashboard to the user experience using your app is thought through. We don't leave anything to chance.

Email addresses delivered

When a user first downloads your app, we prompt them to give their email address in exchange for receiving exclusive offers and content in the future. Right now over half of all users are subscribing. You get access to this list in your dashboard, and are able to export to CSV and use your favorite email program to blast your super fan list anytime.

What's up with the name?

We started in music… but we've become attached to our name and think it applies everywhere. A "roadie" is a multitalented, multitasking helper who ensures everything operates smoothly for a band on the road. Roadies are usually friends or "super fans" of the band which, for us, implies a personal and trusting long-term relationship. This can apply not just to musicians, but to brands, movies, conferences, churches, and on and on. We're basically here to help, and hope to provide long term value for anyone.

What about Blackberries?

We hear you, and are in the process of developing for Blackberry clients. This will allow you to put your content in the dashboard once and "flip a switch" to instantly have a Blackberry App.
