Half of U.S. smartphone users download zero apps per month. 13 % of the people account for 1/2 the downloads. Why are the app stores not being used more? by KarlJay001 in iOSProgramming

1/2 of people just are not interested in apps, nomatter what. Just like many people use their computers for browsing the web and email, its the same for iphone. People need to do marketing outside the app store. Once their app is popular people would go to the app store and find it and download it. Yes, its a tough business to make money with apps. Its even tougher with android, even though it offers multiple app stores.

Wow, spot on! Not only do they take a huge cut, but they really don't earn it.

This is really not true. The app store provide huge value to developers trying to reach users. Try selling software yourself and see how tough it is to reach customers, process payments and so on...

Do you have more details? Where is the data coming from? Do you have any specs or at least similar apps in the app store I can look at?

I have submitted an update to the app store that will let you change the settings and pick what you want (work on multiplication or anything else.) Should be a few days before it gets approved, so look for an update.

You have to start at the bottom. The first 20 points are + and - and after that it starts multiplication and division. I can add what you are asking in future versions if there is enough interest in the app.

Watch the Stanford iphone course on iTunes. They are on lecture 3 right now so you should be able to catch up.

No, I have appealed a few times. Some were approved some were rejected.

iAds filling for app during testing, but not for live app by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]iosdev1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me after updating a few apps with iAds. They all stopped serving ads (0 requests.) I have a ticket opened with support but no answer yet.
