Indigo Rose Software's Andromo App Maker for Android, a cloud service for creating Android apps with minimal programming, has enabled developers to build 15,135 Android titles, since its launch in September. Despite still being in beta form, the free online platform has been used by 17,495 small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Users can customise the appearance of their apps and add features in Andromo by picking from a range of features that are regularly updated. Functions include RSS feeds (for Twitter, Facebook, WordPress), interactive maps, Flickr galleries, YouTube videos and music players. The App Maker technology then creates the app which can be uploaded to Android Market.

The technology allows businesses who want to take advantage of the marketing potential or generate revenue through the publishing of their own software to build apps without having in-house programming expertise.
