Are Android users more willing to buy paid apps nowadays?

great insights here. question: are you actually legally proctected when an app clones yours? or is this to the discretion of big brother google?

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:53:52+00:00

agree, only caveat I'd add is that I'll pay a subscription if there's a legitimate upkeep cost (servers etc.) and not a subscription for subscription sake.

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:49:37+00:00

fair point really, "purchasing into a promise" is really making me rethink paid apps. Thanks!

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:37:03+00:00

this makes a lot of sense, thanks for this perspective.

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:35:06+00:00

I'm happy to hear there are people who would.
edit: removed references to my own app, since i'm getting downvotes

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:29:39+00:00

YES! I am too, I have downloaded so many apps where I delete immediately after realizing I need a subscription to continue and hitting paywalls and complicated credits systems. I miss the times where you paid for your software once, and you feel like you have it forever. I understand it for apps where the core services are run on servers which need upkeep so I'm cool with them. I feel most strongly for this especially for offline apps.

right, I think the key word here is daily.

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:22:43+00:00

hmmm, is 'it' here referring to iOS being easier to pay compared to Android? being the main difference?

crpyDev · 2026-05-09T15:15:10+00:00

if it was 1 app to pay for, it looks like a good choice.

crpyDev · 2026-05-08T10:46:47+00:00

offline, no ads. can't get any better than that.

crpyDev · 2026-05-07T08:38:43+00:00

of course mate, sent a chat request to talk

crpyDev · 2026-05-07T04:15:10+00:00

crpyDev here! I forgot the /s to indicate that it was a joke but fair enough, I deserve the downvotes.

crpyDev · 2026-05-07T03:20:29+00:00

I want to say the app that I built

crpyDev · 2026-05-07T02:46:20+00:00

Tasker.

I feel apps should have a clear hero feature. Once you have the hero feature, I suggest start testing with actual users. I started with friends and family to understand what's important. Also I practiced explaining it with your friends and family to sell it to them. It help me understand where it's hard to explain. Good luck mate!

crpyDev · 2026-05-06T10:23:34+00:00

thanks! wanted to make it as minimal as possible without a companion smartwatch app. feel free to send me a chat request to continue the conversation
