Link: "Crap" iPhone App making $200/hr
His second quote, where he gives a tip for making a popular app, makes me sad:
“work out that most of the people that download free apps are immature and seriously uncool. Then wrap an average idea that you think will appeal to immature and uncool people with some average graphics, and boom, top 10 app”
To me, this kind of app is more akin to buying something from a vending machine. It satisfies (mildly), but only for a brief moment. But the price is so low that it essentially doesn’t matter. So are all people that buy from a vending machine “immature” or “uncool”? Maybe, but I don’t think so.
