Users may then share their generated apps with others through social networks.
Name and history
The name was a combination of three elements: the "i", meaning interactive, "gen" as an abbreviation for generation and "apps" for applications. Another interpretation of the name is "igen", as in the new Internet Generation of young users, being able to create mobile apps. igenapps was founded in March 2012 by Norman Ortiz and was available on the market by March 2010. The product was initially limited to only Windows PC users with a version of Microsoft Excel 2000 or higher. The application only allowed the creation of 4 different screen types and was based on JQuery and HTML at that time.
