He says he would have made more money with desktop apps but I think people buy even less apps on the desktop appstore. I download apps on the iOS appstore all the time and sometimes even purchase iOS apps (including Vesper), but I would have never bought vesper if it was a Mac app (I wouldn't have bought it even if it was $5, but he's saying he would have put the price at $20....)
- CivilianZero 10y agoI agree with you that I am, for some reason unknown to even me, more likely to spend $20 in increments on things I will never use on iOS than I am to spend any amount on the Mac App Store. On that note, however, Mac Apps do seem disproprotionally more expensive for similar functionality but that is a different topic.
- intoverflow2 10y agoMac apps, even without any updates usually run on the OS 8 years+ later Same can't be said for iOS apps. It's just a much better investment.
- CivilianZero 10y agoIs that really still true? I know most apps I use have either required purchasing an update or have simply been replaced by OS functionality. And there's something about committing to a Mac app when you're not sure if, in a week, one you like more will be available as opposed to iOS apps, which are basically disposable. Of course all of this is tempered by my desire to support the products I use and the people who develop them.
