Kickfolio – Get More Eyes On Your App

ss-kickfolio
Kickfolio is a tool that mobile app developers can use to increase visibility, improve conversion rates, and hopefully get more people downloading their products. Developers and agencies can share their iOS apps using interactive embeds, relying on HTML5 to let fans play with their creations from right inside their own web browsers.

Promote the app you’ve worked so hard to build by signing up for a Kickfolio account and uploading a zipped simulator build version of your app to the site. You don’t need to add any SDKs or change any code to upload your app, making the process extremely simple and quick. From there, you’ll need to answer a few questions about your app, and Kickfolio will provide you with a URL that fans can use to play with your app from inside their web browsers. Fans can test out the features of your app with their keyboards or their mouses. They can also provide you with valuable feedback, letting you know which features or elements were their most and least favorite.

Sharing your app with an interactive embed means fans can view your creation on any device or platform (without relying on Flash). The goal of Kickfolio is to help app developers increase conversions and downloads, making it easier for them to get their products in front of consumers.

  • Let consumers play with your mobile app on their desktops
