App loyalty needs to stop so we get better apps

• delecti 12y ago
  Very few apps post an entirely new application entry when they update to a new major version. When you go to Twitter's developer page, you see "Twitter", not "Twitter 1.0, Twitter 2.0..." I'm really not sure what this is asking us to do, if an app isn't getting additional financial support when it updates to a new major version, then I'm not sure what pressure there is if people start moving away. Is it (to borrow from my earlier example) "stop using Twitter entirely" or "use a different Twitter app?"

    I'm actually more than happy to pay for a new version (e.g. TweetBot 2), but I'm more referring to big company apps where there are funds and not indie devs.

      I am too, but the opportunity to do so is rather rare. I can't think of any instances I've personally encountered.
