Appsbar has awarded its App of the Day award to Port City Cons for showcasing how independent artists, publishers, and bloggers have capitalized on the DIY app building options available at appsbar.com.

Port City Cons is the mobile platform for the Port City Conservative blog that covers areas in and around Wilmington, North Carolina. The app allows users to read the blog, see a list of contributors, and automatically follow the blog through social platforms.

The app is optimized for both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. It is available for free download through appsbar’s affiliated app marketplace at appcatch.com.

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.
