it screws devs like me. Creators like me pay 30% gov tax, then 30% fee to apple and in the end we sit with 40% revenue. Then comes apple with their new "search ads",if you dont give them more of your 40% revenue, they will rank your app so far down that you will have to send AppStore URLs to ur friends just so they can find the app.
How about fixing the appstore instead? there are apps that do not even function anymore ranking far higher.
Not to mention, if you app does well keep an eye on the next iOS, it may just steal your idea and integrate it with the OS to kill your business over night.
Absolute scumbags, 1.5$ trillion and its still not enough. Atleast if we had Windows Phone or some other alternatives for high-end consumers we could have some competition. But its just abuse of monopoly as it is.
- gamblor956 6y agoNitpicking, but you pay taxes on the 70% you receive from Apple, not on the list price of your app, so you should end up with 49% of list price after the Apple tax and the government tax.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoThere are too many applications. If Apple opened the floodgates, your app would be worth even less, and have to dig through countless loads of shovelware to be visible. There is no fair ranking system, and expecting it is just unrealistic.
