Echo-System
Mobile Application Development-API for developers
Are you a developer? Want to reach our users? The Echo API gives you the tools you need to build applications or other digital goods for sale in our in-app store. The process is simple. Create a developer account and download the API. A representative will contact you shortly to track your progress and answer any questions you may have. When you’re done, submit your creation to us for approval. Once live on the store, you keep all the profits minus a small percentage taken by us. That’s all.
Users – Echo comes with a built-in audience that is already proven to be open to, and willing to use, social applications. While building a stand-alone app is a good idea, many smartphone users are not the right audience. Sure they download applications, but do they use them? Echo users are engaged in the program. They talk to and interact with other Echo users on a daily basis. By selling your goods within our marketplace, you reach a targeted population that is excited and ready to use your product without doing any extra work.
Anything but we are really excited about games – We think Echo provides a unique way for users to interact with each other by combining online gaming with location-based functionality. While we are not opposed to any particular addition, this seems like an obvious place to start.
