AppMakr raises $1M from angel investors

AppMakr, a company that streamlines the app development process and makes it easy to create custom native apps for iOS devices, has raised $1 million from a group of 11 angel investors and groups.
Thousands of apps built with AppMakr have been released on the App Store since the company launched earlier this year. The site lets users build as many apps as they like and organize them in one place.
Developer wannabes can use AppMakr to build apps with push notifications, native photo galleries, custom CSS, JavaScript, social media integration and monetization schemes overnight. The company has also developed an App Quality Index that will help users determine the likelihood of getting their app approved by Apple Inc. before they actually submit it for approval.
AppMakr says it will be using the cash to release new features, but declined to offer any specifics. The group of angel investors that gathered a cool million for the startup include: Mitch Kapor, Bill Lee, Charles River Ventures (George Zachary and Bill Tai), Rich Chen, Brian McClendon, Kima Ventures (Jeremie Berrebi & Xavier Niel), Warren Hellman, Ben Narasin (TriplePoint Ventures), Pietro Dova, Sean Glass and Transmedia Capital (Chris Redlitz & Peter Boboff).
