Mobile Apps

The world is going mobile in a big way. The majority of phones being sold today are smartphones and users are app crazy.

Mobile users have downloaded over 20 BILLION apps from the app stores (Apple and Android)!

We have built custom apps for a large variety of event driven organizations ranging from large festivals like Ottawa Bluesfest, Just for Laughs and Winterlude to major organizations like Canada Council for the Arts and the Canadian Soccer Association. Our work is characterized by:

easy access to critical information: what, where, when & how much
personalization: creating a personal calendar
deep social media integration: Facebook, YouTube, Flickr
entertainment: video is integral to nearly all of our solutions and we recently added games (ex: music trivia game in Ottawa Bluesfest App)
multi-language support: English, French … even Inuktitut !

We're also in private Beta (i.e. you have to be invited) with a new, very simple and affordable online service that will deliver beautiful apps for festivals, music venues and other organizations for under $1,000 per year! Hang tight!

Super Social Apps

The thing that makes our apps different form any other festival apps is the social integration we can include:

Login with Facebook id and access you calendar
"Like" button for events: possibly the first app in the world to include the Facebook like button!
See what shows Facebook friends are attending
Invite Twitter and Facebook friends to shows
Interactive map with location Check-in (similar to Foursquare): lets your friends know where you are while also allowing you to see where they are on site!
Check-in to events
Photo utility and option to post to social networks directly form the app
Integrated Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr pages
Trivia games with Twitter lifeline (ask twitter followers for help)

Totally Integrated to your Website

Another key element that sets us apart is he fact that the app can be completly integrated with your website. For example, if a fan logs in to your site and creates a personal calendar, he can log in to the mobile app and pull up his calendar, modify and save it.

In addition, many of the elements of the mobile app can be managed from the same content management that runs the Social Video Calendar in your site.

The app comes with a back end provisioning tool but can be adapted to capture information from an RSS feed if that's what you need. We are also open to customizing the app to your needs.

Make Money From Your Apps

A new rotating clickable banner can be used to run contests or generate revenue from sponsorships. Just for Laughs used this feature to provide Videotron customers (major sponsor) with exclusive content such as Just for Laughs ringtones, wallpaper & behind the scenes video.
