The thing is, Camera+ frankly isn't that impressive. It has a cute but useless SLR animation but there are better camera apps out there (Hipstamatic, GorilllaCam or just the built-in app). I'm actually disappointed that I bought Camera+ and can't help feeling it's hype (marketing) over functionality.
Having the pretty Lisa (http://mostlylisa.com http://mostlylisa.com) as spokesperson can't have hurt either (yeah, I'm cynical like that)
- hopeless 16y agowhich, I should add, should be a lesson for everyone: marketing > functionality. One which I need a serious lesson in too. Particularly in the app store where there's no trial periods and customers are accustomed to taking a risk on low-priced apps. The app store just doesn't seem structured to make the "best" apps rise to the top, only the most popular.
- nazgulnarsil 16y agoyou know I don't think it's so much marketing > functionality so much as the much more general status > utility. when you compete on utility you are always in a race to the bottom with your competitors. others typically can't compete with on status if you manage to establish yourself as "the thing to own".
