If you’ve held off on creating an app for your online publishing company because of the associated cost, you may be in luck.

MobiFlex recently launched a web application that allows companies to create their own apps for the iPhone or Android.

It can be done with minimal technical knowledge and requires no coding knowledge.

A service that helps you design your own app isn’t a new concept. However, according to an article from Mashable, MobiFlex allows “back-end data and integration functions like the phone’s camera, speech recognition and GPS.”

Needless to say, MobiFlex is a bit more advanced than previous do-it-yourself app creators. According to the Mashable article, the beta version of MobiFlex has been used by companies to create a coupon-generating campaign, a store-locator app and a diabetes patient glucose reporting app, among others.

MobiFlex comes with a price, although it isn’t as costly as having a developer create an app. MobiFlex charges a monthly fee between $2 and $4 per user or $499 per month for unlimited users.

What do you think of MobiFlex? Does it sound like it’s worth a shot having an app created with the company’s help? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
