This article reads as if it were copied straight out of an email from a PR rep.

As do the comments at bottom (first 3 'wow omg' comments are from people with direct relation to the company)

500k is supposedly 5% of the itunes store. That's 10 million apps, madness! There must be hundreds of thousands with approx 30 installs...

That has to be wrong.

This blog post is a bit old but shows around 1.25mm apps on the iOS App Store at the beginning of 2015.

I also think 500k apps is either a heavily padded number or has an extra 0... I doubt one company accounts for more than 33% of apps.

Are there some higher profile examples of apps that have been built using white label builders like this?

and yet no one could come up with a decent ms access replacement, which is still the go-to tool businesses use to build custom apps if they need something quick and easy to train employees on

Check out Fieldbook, we were #2 on HN about a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10752570

Oracle has a similar product with the same name. This might be an issue.

Oracle apex is great too. Well worth checking out if you already have an oracle licence. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https...

There's also salesforce's apex
