If you live in Cardiff and are a reader of Cardiff Life then you may have spotted a chirpy miscreant gurning against the backdrop of a bridge in Stockholm. That miscreant was our founder, Stephen Milburn, having a quick chin-wag with Neil Cocker about our Trippa Travel App series. So the interview goes…
Cardiff is ace. Often, people make the mistake that there’s little to nothing in the way of entrepreneurial activity going on in the Welsh capital. How wrong they are! I’m Stephen and I’m the founder of Tradebox Media. I’m also proud to be part of a merry band of business folk all involved in Cardiff’s…
So Cardiff Start, yeah? Home to a group of entrepreneurs worth over £1,000,000 to the local economy. How about £10,000,0000? So that the group can bandy these sort of statements around with confident gusto, Robert Lo Bue created a completely anonymous survey for the group to fill in. It’s simple, quick and all details posted…
We can’t deny it; emotions have been running high in the Tradebox offices as we’ve been glued to the Paralympics and their competitors stories. Channel 4’s official app is a lovely way to keep in touch with all of the action. Live text commentary, videos of highlights from each day, and news, schedules and results…
Oh my. The Olympics has done it. It’s forced us to the gym. But my, routines are boring, right? We’ll they needn’t be. This litte beauty (it’s 99c) randomises your workout routine to make sure there’s rarely a dull moment. We just need one to make our recovery shakes now… They say there’s 23 million…

Your users love your content and, in the age of mobile,…
We’ve been working with our clients this week to upgrade and sort their App Annie accounts (where installed). For those who don’t know, App Annie is a free service allowing to view your daily iTunes sales trends in an easier fashion than logging in through iTunes Connect.
In our app development work, simple is usually best. Pleasingly, the simple things are often the cheapest, too. And a low cost, functional solution is a wonderful thing when bootstrapping a project. Everybox.co.uk is not an app, it’s a nice simple e-commerce proposition selling removal boxes and packaging materials across the UK. It was out…
Ta-da! Our app of the week for this week is Bike Doctor 2, currently viable free on iOS for a limited period. We’re avid cyclists here at Tradebox Media (when our wheels have not been stolen, anyway) so anything that keeps our mechanics in tip-top condition is alright by us. Made by London Cyclist, Bike…
The first in our (occasional!) series of our top app choices. This week’s choice is the BlaBlaCar app (available free on iOS) which is one of several car pooling apps popping up at the moment. It makes sense, as times get harder and fuel prices rise, that people are looking to save some cash. It…
