If you're still figuring out whether or not people are willing to pay for what it is you're doing, then just use PayPal. Or mail paper invoices. Seriously. Why would you EVER invest a ton of time in a billing system when you're just start

Thanks for sharing this. I had just turned 19 (2 months) before my son was born. Never married, but made the choice to stick around and make sure I was there every other weekend (and more, if allowed). I didn't have the "normal" college l

Yes, it is possible. Use a mixture of various in app purchases and only display the appropriate ones to the end user based on their locale. Note, it's not possible (afaik) to determine their country based on any hard data from iTunes, as yo

Yes, but you're responsible for creating all of the graphics for it. Including the keys, and the background of the keys.

Dude, you even named it after the parent site? Poor form.

I created Boxcar ( http://boxcar.io ), which has sent out 58 million push notifications. I've talked to every push notification provider out there, and the guys from UA are the best at what they do. Without a moment of hesitation, I would

Love it. Awesome idea and prior to seeing this I hadn't even considered getting a case for my iPhone. Very cool, great work.

So they get a phone call about three20 usage, and I get a rejection? Beautiful. Love the consistency.

Very cool. Love what you guys are doing at Superfeedr. Keep up the great work! Hopefully we can meet at the RT CrunchUp next week. j

EY's cloud services are great. I'm using it for Boxcar ( http://boxcar.io ) with a decent amount of traffic. The ease of adding additional instances make it an excellent service. Should you need it, their support guys are sharp. If you'r

Eh, this game is being pirated more than the average app. From what I heard at Greg Yardley (PinchMedia)'s talk at 360idev yesterday, the average piracy rate is 34%. My personal experience with Boxcar lines up with those numbers, along wit

thanks! while the majority of people have been perfectly fine with the in-app purchases, it's unfortunate that a vocal minority haven't been. getting slammed in itunes 2-3 times because someone doesn't want to pay an extra $1 for a new ser

9 out of 10 support requests for my app come from jailbroken users. About 1/3 are actual cracked copies; I can tell, because they register with our API server and the app sends along little bits of goodies. I ignore those, other than a "B

That's the cool thing about getting someone else to ghost write for you: it usually comes out better. ;)

I bet you could build it in a weekend, too?

by jdg 17y ago
Correct. The problem here is, I didn't have a web page embedded in my app. Nor a browser. Nada. Greg Yardley of PinchMedia asked earlier - Does this mean that any app that displays advertising w/ a built in browser should be rated 17+? I

Internet capable means access to the internet, period . There is no built in web browser, nor any content provided to users of this application other than the content that they themselves have placed. They will never see anyone else's co

It is - very soon. v1.1 was submitted last Monday evening, which includes support for Twitterfon, Twittelator and Twinkle. Plus a small bug fix. Multiple accounts will most likely make it into v1.2, as long as Apple doesn't surprise me an

Well, DF linked to my latest app Boxcar ( http://boxcar.io ) today, which does push notifications for Twitter @mentions and DMs. As far as what it did for sales with just that short little blurb? Awesome. That's what it did. :) I can pos

Wasn't it determined awhile back, that if you provide access to any UGC at all, you should ensure that you have a mature (or whatever it is, can't remember what the screen says now) rating? E.g., - All Twitter clients. All forum readers.

I don't believe it's spammy, and if my comment felt that way please excuse the snark. It wasn't intentional. I believe it's less about how you get the post right and more about who you're asking. As I mentioned above, you need to talk to

The same name he submitted this one under. See his response below. He also didn't mention that he'd already posted it previously until after I had submitted my response. Or I missed it because of the blind rage I felt when he posted it t

You've posted this, what, 3 times now? You may be asking the wrong crowd. Try e-mailing some of the app review sites etc. to see what they use currently and how it can be improved.

Terrible headline. It's the only choice Amazon has at the moment. It's not Amazon sending a message to Apple or anything of the sort. In short: Who gives a shit? Apple doesn't.
