I think his argument is premature. His app is < 5k installs, he's only targeting phones, he's still using the option menu (i.e. using an old sdk), and his UI is simply an iPhone port.
Just from a UI perspective I'm not sure he has addressed: ActionBarSherlock, black vs. white (or any?) Option Menu icons, portrait/landscape layouts (i.e. sideways keyboards), and multiple layout folders (3x just for tablets).
He's confident now because the app is small & easy. When you get to ~100k installs you start to encounter the niche users and when you're missing something "critical" and unique to them you'll get a lot of 1-star drive-bys...
- guelo 14y agoJust exclude your app from those devices in the market.
- radley 14y agoIt usually takes the market a month or two to add new devices to the list. By that time you'll already be nailed by users of a popular new device with an odd screen. We went through that with the Galaxy Note. (Our solution was to express ship one via Amazon.)
