Apple review policies and reviewers are really inconsistent. Their process isn't transparent in any way and who reviews your app has a lot of leeway for rejecting your submission, even if its the reviewers mistake.
- csense 13y agoWhich is a great reason for developers to say "screw Apple" and develop exclusively for Android. I don't get why so many developers care so much about iOS.
- justinhj 13y agoBecause it's a great market
- lostlogin 13y agoAverage app price: Android $0.06, iPhone $0.19, iPad $0.50. I'm picking this might be a part of it. Its just one data point but I've never seen anyone say that there is more money to be made on Android. http://blog.flurry.com/bid/99013/The-History-of-App-Pricing-And-Why-Most-Apps-Are-Free http://blog.flurry.com/bid/99013/The-History-of-App-Pricing-...
- king_jester 13y agoIts true that its hard to sell an app directly on Google Play compared to the iTunes app store. A lot of devs have switched to in-app purchases or subscriptions as a way to allow their app to be free, allowing users to engage with the app before they decide if they want to buy in (the older style of doing this is a free app and then a premium unlocker app). Ultimately the pay upfront model hasn't really taken off and Android and probably never will for most apps.
- csense 13y agoYou linked to a very insightful blog post. I guess the TL:DR is that it's tough to get rich in the mobile app market unless you have enough users to make ads profitable.
