NOW ANYONE CAN BUILD A SMARTPHONE APP WITH ZAPPIX
Zappix, the leader in Visual IVR technology and mobile app authoring, announced today the release of its improved visual app building platform that enables non-technical users to build and publish their own smartphone app. The Zappix smartphone app builder allows companies of any size to provide their customers with a mobile app experience at a small fraction of the cost typically associated with developing a customized app.
“This is an exciting development for businesses that want to build and deploy a smartphone app and provide a rapid response to changing business needs,” said Avner Schneur, Zappix’s Chairman. “Our new version of the Zappix platform gives virtually any business user, regardless of technical skill, the ability to author and change—in minutes, with just a few clicks—a customized smartphone iPhone, Android or Web app. As a result, it’s never been easier for companies, large or small, to provide consumers with a customized mobile app that accommodates prompt changes as business requirements evolve.”
The smartphone app builder provides tight integration with an array of visual content and customer service channels that include phone (voice), web, mobile online forms, and multi-media (audio or video) self-help resources. Using the app builder allows companies to reduce development costs while increasing customer satiation and net promoter scores (NPS).

AMATORY MURDER “MY NIGHTMARE”
Alternative rock band Amatory Murder have released the Official Music Video for their single “My Nightmare”!
The Amatory Murder are proud to announce the music video release to our newest single, ‘My Nightmare’. Continuing our theme of psychological anxiety and terror, the video was directed by David Bunting and contains subtle references to such taboo topics as the Illuminati, self-degradation, and dream analysis. Our main character is broken down throughout the song, questioning what is actually waking life and what is subconscious. Evident too is the influence from one of our greatest musical inspirations, Pink Floyd. We hope our family of Murderers enjoy this visual work of art as much as we enjoyed making it. – The Amatory Murder
