Ask HN: Should you update an iOS app for just 1 minor bug?
We found a very small bug in our iOS app. Is it worth notifying all your users to download the new version or wait for the next time you are releasing a feature? that is, our next scheduled release might be months and months away.

- dennyzhang 12y agoSorry, I don't quite understand your point. If it's very trivial, I shall wait for later release. Appstore display "customer review" for current version first, then all version. This means updating will flush out the customers review and rating for current version.
- andymoe 12y agoA steady stream of updates, all things being equal, helps your apps visibility etc. One for instance...Every time you update a bunch of sites that scape the app store publish that your app was updated and drive a bit of traffic etc.
- good-citizen 12y agothat's a really good point I didn't think of.

"We just released a major update to our industry leading <app name here> app. It's addressed some of the security issues caused by the heartbleed bug and <whatever scare tactic you want to use here>." I hope you planted some ad code in there to make you some extra bucks...
