together to build a mobile app.

announce other platforms soon.
How much does it cost to make an app?
Building an app on AppWhirl is free of charge. AppWhirl believes in and is committed to apps for
everyone.
How do I make money with my app?
If you choose to make money from your app, either for you or for donation to a good cause, AppWhirl pays
you a royalty of up to 30% of revenue based on several monetization options. Should you choose to charge for
your app (say, $1.99 in the AppStore) Apple's AppStore takes 30% of revenue as their fee, we pay you the
same 30% royalty and AppWhirl shares the rest between itself and builders of third party modules. If you
choose to insert ad-units into your app AppWhirl pays you 20-30% of the ad-revenue depending on the fees of
the ad network.
What features can I expect in my app?
With AppWhirl you get to choose the features you have in your app. Browse our selection of modules and
add whatever features you want into your app. It's your app, express yourself.
How long does it take to build my app?
Building an app can take as little as a few minutes. You can return and edit your app later, or you can
take a little more time to work on the app's design, and feature selection. Build your personal brand with a
nicely designed app - or make your friends and family feel at home with a simple, welcoming look and feel.
When will my app be available in the App Store?
Like all mobile companies AppWhirl appreciates how much Apple has changed the industry with its powerful
Appstore model allied to the sheer beauty of the iPhone. Like all mobile companies AppWhirl has no control
over how long the Apple Appstore process takes to approve an individual app. We have had apps take as little
as a couple of weeks to get approved, we have had apps take over six weeks in the process. AppWhirl manages
that process for you and we will notify you as soon as your app is available in the Appstore.
How do I make updates to the app?
Log in to your account and click on "my applications" in the top right corner of the page. Select the
application you wish to edit and click on "modify". Once the application is ready for update email
support@appwhirl.com and request an update push. We will confirm an update via email.
