History

Snappii was founded in 2010 by Alex Bakman, [7] [8] who also serves as CEO. [9] The Snappii platform was launched in 2011, [6] primarily as a tool for iPhone app creation. The company's iPad and Android app creation systems were still in beta in November 2011. [10] In 2012, Snappii added more compatibility and support for Android devices. [11] Also in 2012, customers created the 6,000th app using the Snappii platform. [12]

In 2015, the Snappii released a series of new features ranging from audio and video support [13] to enhanced charting capabilities. [1] They also announced a new offer called "5 Weeks-$5K-Guaranteed App," which guarantees customers a custom native app within five weeks for $5,000. [3] [14] In August 2015, the company raised $250,000 in investor funding. [15] As of 2015, the Snappii platform has produced around 26,000 applications [4] in 17 languages [6] for companies in 29 different industries. [3]
