Polljoy - customer feedback sdk

Polljoy is another customer feedback for mobile.

I have covered others such as Helpshift, Neemware and Apptentive.

They look pretty simple to use.

You can try it out for free with 1000 responses/month.

Live Chat for mobile - from Apptentive

Apptentive started with providing in-app feedbacks and surveys.

Today, they have a "revolution".

They have announced Message Center, kind of like live chat, but for mobile.

Apptentive - In-app survey for mobile

In a previous post, I mentioned Neemware as a mobile SDK for customer feedbacks.

I tried Neemware and it is useful, especially for conducting surveys.

There is another similar service - Apptentive.

Apptentive looks equally good. I have not tried, and would be happy to hear your comments!

Spreedy Payment Gateway Cost ZERO Cent Per Transaction

Unlike other payment gateways (listen recurly, stripe), spreedy does not charge a % and minimal per transaction fee.

They have an annual plan $349/month!

0¢ per transaction!

Caveat: You must be a startup to enjoy that.

The definition of "startup" is by an honour system. No rules.

Otherwise, consider their Normal Plans. Not bad too, as they a per month subscription, and 20-40¢ per transaction. There is no % fee per transaction.

If I am a startup, I will go with Spreedy.

PS: First encountered Spreedy when I signed up with SaneBox - Add Sanity to your Crazy Email Routine.

Apply a Job via API (Parse)

If you have not heard, Parse.com is an API provider that helps you build mobile apps (with server-client architecture), without touching the server side!

That is all good news for one-man-shop mobile developer.

If you are interested in working for this fast growing startup, you can apply via API.

There are too many good things I found after reading their documentation - CRUD any object to Parse server, manage user sign up and login and forget password, push messaging, etc..

Anyway, awesome doc with clear, comprehensive, and nice fonts.

Mobile SDK for Customer Feedback/Support

On the web, there are many useful services such as UserVoice, Zendesk and Olark for communicating with your customers.

But on the mobile, there is a lack of such an SDK.

But there are actually 2 (pretty new services) for mobile platforms such as iOS.

1. Helpshift - Provides searchable FAQ and help support

2. Neemware - Send push in-app messages for multiple choice surveys, feedbacks and cross promote apps

Neemware looks pretty cool with a reasonable pricing.

ZBarSDK - QR and barcode reader for iPhone

ZBarSDK is an open source library for reading barcodes and QR codes.

It supports the popular iPhone/iOS, and looks like the best library for the job. Creating an app using ZBarSDK is very easy, and they provided example project to help get started.

Develop iPad Games Using an iPad - for non-programmer

Turned out there's even a tool, in the form of an iPad app, for building iPad games!

Check out Codea (formerly Codify) on the App Store.

Embed Chat Client Into Your iPhone App

Mobile app developers love to engage their users.

If you are one of them, and looking for a chat client SDK that can be used to embed into your mobile app, then you have to check out QuickBlox. The service is not free.

An alternative is Airgram, which offer a standalone app to engage your mobile users.
