In my opinion there is no reason why they couldn't start with a first beta for android (payed app) and interrate from there.
If more people like it, they'll buy it.
Kickstarter/etc. is just marketing, i hate the development of this "strategy" for software.
- bergie 14y agoAgain, building software takes time and money. Much of open source has been "subsidized" by people either working on getting a degree, or by their employer when they build and release something that solves a problem for the company. Kickstarters and other similar crowdfunding platforms are a great way to gauge interest in a concept before starting to build it. If thousands of people are willing to pay for it before it exists, then even more are likely to pay for the finished application.
