Mobalon.com is a brand new service that you can use to create apps for android, iOS and Kindle with very little or just basic knowhow of html, java, and all other programming languages. You can create apps using our drag and drop interface. The only thing you will need is your creativity. Rest you can leave on us.

For our inauguration we are giving away our first 200 customers a free subscription of our Premium plan to create up to 30 apps of your choice for free. You can create all sorts of iOS, android or Kindle apps. Happy app'ing.

The only thing we are looking to get from our great OzBargainers is a review (hopefully good), and some sharing with your friends so that we can run as a business.

Although the date mentions expiry on 27/08/2014 We may close doors If we get our first 200.

    It asks for a coupon code and a security code???

    • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 06:01

      The security code can be left blank. It is just a means of extra security which I haven't activated for this coupon. For coupon code just use "ozbargain"
      Cheers.

        I get this message when I try to check out "The entered code is not valid. The code is case sensitive, please check it again or enter another."

        • Chuppa on 21/08/2014 - 06:06

          Same here

        • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 06:08

          You must have used the code wrong as its is all small letters. At this point I can see 12 people have signed up, so its just you. Anyways try it a few more times and if it still does not work for you,sign up for the basic plan, shoot me an email and I will upgrade you.
          Cheers.

        • stockpimp on 21/08/2014 - 06:10

          Ok it just worked all good :)

        • AmeryD on 21/08/2014 - 06:10

          @justbijay:
          I signed up, tried like a dozen combination of ozbargain with and without case.I reccomend you testing it yourself again to make sure, since you might end up having to deal with a ton of emails otherwise.

        • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 06:17

          Thanks @AmerD
          I had tried the coupon code myself and it was working fine. Lets see how we go. Anyways welcome aboard. @Chuppa and @stockpimp

        • Ch Rs on 21/08/2014 - 06:23

          @justbijay:

          didn't work for me too even though I put all lower case

          update: all good now

          thanks

        • Chuppa on 21/08/2014 - 06:24

          @AmeryD: reload the coupon page without submitting the form again. Then try the code - that worked for me.

        • ETB on 21/08/2014 - 07:19

          The entered code is not valid. The code is case sensitive, please check it again or enter another. just keep getting this message. I have typed it lower case.

    • timhobart on 21/08/2014 - 07:21

  • Gravy on 21/08/2014 - 06:44

    A suggestion, you might be better off setting this to free sign ups for a day or two rather than limit to 200. The reason being is that the 200 may end up going to ozbargainers that may never use the product but sign up simply because its free and stop more genuine devs from getting a chance to sign up for free. If you limit it to a few days at least you might actually get some developers to see the offer and actually use it, then help spread the word. Just my 1c worth (its ozbargain, no one pays 2c).

    • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 06:47
      +1

      you are right Gravy however i cannot stop the aspiring devs in the ozbargainers that signed up at 6am in the morning. Thanks for your suggestion though.

      • Gravy on 21/08/2014 - 09:17

        I'd probably be more inclined to make the selection process for the free accounts a little more selective for maximum impact, so perhaps advertise the freebies on forums that are heavily frequented by fledgling developers OR first time app developers who cant actually code and not just bargain hunters. No reason why you cant do both though and see which method works best for your marketing(OZBargain and other forums Im mean).

        As far as the 6am aspiring app devs go, I guess you'll find out soon enough if they were genuinely interested or just addicted to freebies. I'm not saying there are no developers or aspiring developers on here (there are), just that you may be wasting the 200 freebies with a scattergun approach. Hope you guys do well either way. :)

  • kapone on 21/08/2014 - 06:58

    Thanks for this. Had a couple of ideas for utilities I wanted to build for myself, but couldn't justify the time to learn to develop for another platform. I look forward to giving this a try.

  • bluechan on 21/08/2014 - 07:03

    I've signed up. Hope to find sometime to try it soon.

    • bluechan on 21/08/2014 - 09:35

      Ok I signed up using my Android phone.
      First I signed up for the free account.
      Then "subscribed" to the Premium plan. Entered the code. All seemed good.
      Now I go back and I can't confirm if I'm on the premium plan anymore?

      Rep you need to work on your UX and/or backend…

  • Zippy7 on 21/08/2014 - 07:13

    Thanks, but the code is not working properly?

  • yjun355 on 21/08/2014 - 07:15

    Yeah could not register. I got error with coupon code as well.

  • lo200 on 21/08/2014 - 07:23

      it's on the second page if you used the link in the op's post
      Code still not working 1st time though

    • lo200 on 21/08/2014 - 07:30

      Ok found where to put the coupon code but it now fails.

    • INFIDEL on 21/08/2014 - 08:58

      Signed up fairly easy on Android phone. That was at 6:30am.

  • aml276 on 21/08/2014 - 07:31

    Not working in IE or Firefox on Windows PC or android phone default browser - Is it chrome that is working for everyone?

  • aml276 on 21/08/2014 - 07:33

    I'd say they have the 200 by now, but maybe not with the number of people having errors. In either case looks like OP has is mailing list and has gone back to bed

  • swings on 21/08/2014 - 07:46

    Code doesn't work, android chrome and firefox, tried copy and paste and type with both browser.

    Wasted 10 minutes and signed up to a service I would have not.

    Despite someone was able to sign, Is dodgy getting registrations this way.

    Disappointed, and I was looking forward to test it since I'm working on a project will require some service like this,
    Any suggestion for similar services?

  • DJS on 21/08/2014 - 07:52

    I think in respect we got in before the 200, the rep should give us access, since we tried but didn't work, please send a registration, thanks.

  • Bargain-er on 21/08/2014 - 07:56

    Didn't work

  • Freek on 21/08/2014 - 07:58

    Signup at 630am and code did work. So I think it is more than 200 already.

    • rjblakel on 21/08/2014 - 08:07

  • TheBear on 21/08/2014 - 08:09

    I don't think they would have hit the 200 that quickly as there was less than 200 views when I tried to sign up earlier. I suspect they have had issues on their end.

  • olgagodo on 21/08/2014 - 08:18

    Hi everyone. I could not register at first as well. Seems like the trick is to put a space into the Security code field or at least put focus on it. This trick worked out for me. Good luck

    • rjblakel on 21/08/2014 - 08:45

      This trick did not work for me on Firefox (space or focus)

  • ozy on 21/08/2014 - 08:26

    I have a multiple platform app idea rep,
    I call it the "Signup App" or go fancy and call it "S-APP"
    Anyway, it contains a big red button with an imbedded hyperlink to your badass signup page, and after 3 successful failure messages, it takes you back to S-APP and you get a second window so you can press a try again button thats hyperlinked to your badass signup page.
    The rest i'll leave up to you.

  • kelvinsmj on 21/08/2014 - 08:56

  • yjun355 on 21/08/2014 - 13:26

    Thanks.
    Questions:
    a. Can I make my app available in the android play store?
    b. Lets say, I have a website which lists various product. I am build simple app where I just want a "Add A Product" form in the app. So, I can take photos with mobile and directly upload to my website database via the app?

    • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 13:37

      a> yes you can however you will need to sign up as a developer with google play.
      b> It depends on how skillful you are with scripting languages. You can create anything as long as you know what you are doing. As far as providing that functionality in our drag and drop interface, its not available as a readymade template. We have functions to take pics and function that can send it to a web server but putting it to work would be your job.

      • yjun355 on 21/08/2014 - 15:35

        Thanks.
        a. So, you are basically mobile app equivalent of Weebly.com?

        b. There is app for realestate listing in there. What happens when I create new listing and add photos? Do they all go to your database?
        Or everything is local to my phone.

        So, all apps are just personal apps local to phone only.

  • 1stOzBargainer on 21/08/2014 - 13:31

    Few questions for the store rep:

    Is it transferable (e.g. if someone here who signed up decides they don't need it anymore can they pass it to another OzBargainer?)
    Is it true that if you create an app then if you stop your subscription your app will stop working until payment is made?
    Can you downgrade your subscription after making an app if it has in-app purchases and retain full functionality?
    If instead I decide to "buy" my app (for $199!!!), do I need to retain subscription services? And if not, how do I update my app?
    I am interested in creating a simple app with the option of an in-app purchase but do not think that to begin with I would be generating a guaranteed $29.99 per month (after the store takes their cut) to pay the subscription service fees to keep the app going. And the "buy" option for an app I created seems fairly steep.

  • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 13:43

    @1stOzBarginer
    No its not transferrable however if they use your account using your credentials then its upto you. However our terms and conditions do not allow you to do that.
    Yes if your subscriptions stop your app will stop functioning, however you can always buy out your app so that you don't have deal with the subscription service.
    For devs like you who cannot afford to pay 29.99 per month we can always custom tailor the plans depending on your needs.
    Email us with subject ozb-QandA and I am pretty sure we can work something out. We don't want anyone to be left behind.

    • Logical on 21/08/2014 - 13:56

      pls explain "buy out your app"? you mean we write the app using your system, and we do not own it??

  • Aradial on 21/08/2014 - 15:14

    Quick question for the OP.
    How are you supposed to preview an app?

    I tried to "install on device" and I searched the Play Store for Mobalon for Android but your free viewer doesn't exist, have I missed something?

    • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 15:41

      It will be published on play in a few days as it is under review from play store authorities. However I can provide you with the apk of the previewer if you are interested for now.

      • Aradial on 21/08/2014 - 15:43

        Thanks for letting me know, I can wait a few days.

  • AssociatedIamJay @ mobalon.com on 21/08/2014 - 15:37

    Buying out an app was added onto the portal as some users wanted to create and the sell the apps with no strings attached to them.
    This site is more of a subscription based site which you pay to lease our resources, send automated updates, streamline the submission process, get feedback on your app, push notifications from, etc which are basically the services we provide.
    But when you buy out, we hand you the rights you just pay out the cost of the app which will be the same for all apps created using our services. However having said that we are discussing about a revised fee structure where even buying out apps in my guess would be a lot cheaper.

    Also in the near future we will set up the system where we would offer buy out plans where there will be no subscriptions.
