For anyone in the print publishing industry that intends to stay relevant in our über-digital age, having a mobile version of your publication is pretty much mandatory. Sure, we may not really know the specifics of what will happen to our industry in the next five or ten years, but clearly the digital world of smartphones and tablets is not going anywhere. Everyone at Tape Op knew this, but after several months of research it seemed like the only two viable options to get us there were either pre-established newsstand apps with extremely binding contracts, or a completely custom-built app with extremely high development costs. Thank goodness Nov8rix came along when they did and gave us a perfectly balanced third option - the sweet spot in the middle of these two extremes where you can get your own branded app, but made far more affordable by starting with a well-established code-base made especially for publications, and not having to develop from scratch. Moreover, we are able to take advantage of new features and improvements to their software without having to invest the time and energy ourselves, allowing us to stick to being publishers.
On top of having something unique to offer the publishing community, I have rarely encountered more responsive customer service anywhere. Whether emailed, texted, or phoned in, questions or concerns are almost always responded to within a few minutes, and answers are always clear, thorough, and realistic. I think Nov8rix have hit on something really great here, and I am already actively recommending them as the ideal entry point for any print publisher looking to make the leap into the mobile world.
