Having a sub 5mb app is still the strongest quality signal there is for ios. A shame you can’t sort and filter results by size.

- allthetime 10mo agoIf your app is 5mb to download but then needs to download 100mb of content your app is 105mb.
- kjkjadksj 10mo agoI have a couple that are honest sub 5mb apps. Some of my favorite apps on my phone. Limited featureset that does what it says on the tin. Loads instantly. Hardly uses battery at all. I wish everything was like this.
- nine_k 10mo agoAs long as you don't need a lot of hi-res graphics. One of the no-frills icon themes installed on my Linux laptop (from which I'm typing) is 170M, just because it has a pack of icons rendered for each of the 8, 16, 18, 24, 32, 48, and 64 pixel sizes. (And no, vector icons are not equally useful in this whole range of resolutions; you need to lower the level of detail for small resolutions to avoid pixel sludge, and increase the level of detail for high resolutions to avoid the barren look. Still, say, 3 versions in SVG format could be sufficient.)

- joseda-hg 10mo agoSmall screen, lots of system components that should get drawn dynamically, etc A bit reductionist, but I get it, if it were a priority you could do lots with a hundredth the space
