Few weeks ago Nokia launched a new web service, Ovi App Wizard, to help everybody to create new mobile applications. Following four simple steps you can create a mobile app based on RSS feeds, a Twitter account, a blog or a YouTube channel. You can define the visual aspect of the app, and add some icons to make a personal version. It is even possible to link the app to an advertising account to include some ads in our program. Apps created with Ovi App Wizard could be published directly into Ovi Store.
The tool is fantastic, it’s open to everybody, developers or just normal users. In other mobile platforms you can find a great number of so called apps that are simple web content you can find on the net, disguised as native applications. Ovi App Wizard brings you the possibility to create that kind of app in less than five minutes.
Initially, App Wizard most useful feature is to ‘mobilize’ an existing RSS feed. With some programming knowledge you can create apps based on services or websites without mobile version or RSS. It could be useful also to create apps with static content, like ebooks (Romeo and Juliet). Another alternate use could be microblogging or to publish small sentences. For example, PickUp Lines was created in less than 2 hours and has been downloaded several times since it was published on Ovi Store.
