HS Band has earned appsbar.com’s App of the Day award for showcasing how independent, bands, artists, and labels are now able to incorporate mobile platforms into their marketing with the help of the DIY app builder at appsbar.com.

HS Band is the mobile app for renowned U.K. country act, the Henry Smith Band. The app contains a link to the band’s website, along with modules for photos, videos, and the group’s discography.

The app is optimized for both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets and is available through appsbar’s affiliated app marketplace at appcatch.com. It is part of appcatch’s extensive Music category.

The HS Band app has already been downloaded nearly 200 times.

Launched in 2011, Appsbar opens up the mobile marketing category for small and medium-size businesses, artists and musicians, and individuals who want to create in that space. Appsbar has done this by removing the two largest barriers; cost and programming expertise. Appsbar is doing for mobile apps what companies like Intuit and Blogger have done for novices looking to publish websites and blogs. To date, Appsbar has grown to over 500,000 users to become the most popular app building platform in the world.

In September of 2013, appsbar added mobile capabilities, allowing users to create, edit and publish apps directly from a smartphone or tablet.
