And a few hundred 1-star reviews on the app store(s), saying that while they use your app daily, it really isn't worth the $1.99 they paid for, and people should use X instead, which is FREE. Or 3-star reviews that say the app is PERFECT, they love it, but it needs feature X (assuring you that they'll bump up their reviews to 5 star when you add the said feature).
At times like that, I'm sure you'd rather you worked for some giant corporation and didn't have to deal with customers directly.
- jwwest 13y agoYou're making a pretty big assumption that everyone works in consumer-facing markets, and not with small- to medium-sized businesses. The app store model is broken because it has too much Internet in it. Anonymity + Platform = arsehat. Dealing with clients one-on-one is really rewarding.
- sdoowpilihp 13y agoClients can be rewarding or a nightmare. I have dealt with both. There are good and bad clients you deal with just as there are "arsehats" in the consumer facing businesses.
