Mobile Roadie is a self-service mobile app platform to create, customize and manage mobile apps.[1]

History

Mobile Roadie was founded in 2008 by Michael Schneider and Brock Batten, and officially launched at South by Southwest 2009. The first live app to be created using the Mobile Roadie platform was for the band Black Lips.[2] As of October 2011, Mobile Roadie’s app gallery includes Taylor Swift, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, Adele, Katy Perry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dallas Mavericks, Cirque du Soleil, Harvard University, and Wynn Las Vegas.

On May 1, 2012, Mobile announced they added two new self-service products — iPad and Mobile Website. More than 20 million users have downloaded apps made by Mobile Roadie.[3][4]

In March 2012, it was announced by Beggars Group Head of Marketing that Adele's official app passed 1.5 million downloads, the first Mobile Roadie app to pass the 1 million downloads mark.[5][6]

In September 2011, Mobile Roadie announced they had surpassed 10 million app downloads and 2,000 mobile apps. In the same month, Mobile Roadie announced their launch in China as QMoBao (Chinese: “Q魔宝”) in partnership with FabriQate, a full-service mobile agency with offices in London, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Mumbai.[7]

Mobile Roadie received funding from investors Guy Oseary, Ashton Kutcher, Rodger Berman, Paige Craig, and Mike Jones, among others.[8]

Mobile Roadie is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, with presence in London, Oslo, Helsinki, Minsk, Kiev, Palo Alto, and New York. The company also has representatives in France, Spain, Australia, Italy, Germany, Brazil, and Turkey. Mobile Roadie was acquired [9] by software development company Intellectsoft [10] in October 2015 with Gino Padua taking over as CEO of Mobile Roadie.[11]

Eigenschaften

Mobile Roadie offers four mobile platforms - iPhone, Android, iPad, and Mobile Website. They are created and managed through Mobile Roadie’s Content Management System, which features a Dashboard to view app analytics and activity.

In May 2012, Mobile Roadie introduced their newest version called 4.0. 4.0 includes iPad and Mobile Web, as well as a redesigned CMS.

In November 2011, Mobile Roadie announced a new version of their platform called 3.3.[12] There have been seven versions of Mobile Roadie prior to 3.3, including 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2. The Mobile Roadie app platform supports categories, including photo and video galleries, music streaming, event schedules, QR codes, maps, and a Fan Wall with Twitter and Facebook integration.

Mobile Roadie’s API allows third-party developers to implement Mobile Roadie features in apps without using Mobile Roadie’s CMS. The API also allows for website and app integration, so content in a Mobile Roadie app can be pulled from and pushed to a website.
