People hide behind the perceived anonymity to do some rather inhuman things. The App Store seems to have become a microcosm of those unhealthy tendencies. Developers are lambasted for charging anything over $0.99, reviews are often irrelevant and mean spirited, and most people have absolutely no idea the time, effort, and creativity that goes into the apps they buy.]]>info@appcubby.comNone2009-12-23T13:00:00-06:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/selling_out_gracefully.html#unique-entry-id-11http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/selling_out_gracefully.html#unique-entry-id-11When in the course of human events a large company drives up to your house with a dump truck full of money, nobel ideals such as independence lose out to more visceral notions like greed, entitlement, and living the American dream. As an independent iPhone developer, how could I not accept the cash, build a mansion, and fill a swimming pool with Cristal?]]>info@appcubby.comNone2009-10-07T17:00:00-05:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/app_cubby_success.html#unique-entry-id-10http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/app_cubby_success.html#unique-entry-id-10info@appcubby.comNone2009-07-21T14:30:00-05:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/5_is_the_new_10.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/5_is_the_new_10.html#unique-entry-id-9info@appcubby.comNone2009-02-10T10:30:03-06:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/the_experiment.html#unique-entry-id-8http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/the_experiment.html#unique-entry-id-8make a donation to fund future development.]]>info@appcubby.comNone2008-12-19T12:19:54-06:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/app_store_pricing.html#unique-entry-id-7http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/app_store_pricing.html#unique-entry-id-7Many people continue misinterpreting what Craig Hockenberry, myself, and other developers have been trying to convey. Here’s another stab at it: We're not complaining at the existence of $0.99 apps. We're frustrated that artificial market forces are driving down the price of apps, which in turn drives down the perceived value of the products we have invested significant time and money to create. Marketing can help, but it’s throwing good money after bad if the market discourages charging a fair price for an app.]]>info@appcubby.comNone2008-12-10T14:18:58-06:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/financial_realities.html#unique-entry-id-6http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/financial_realities.html#unique-entry-id-6Ringtone Apps” blog post, so I thought I’d set the record straight with some real numbers from the App Cubby bank account. There are some amazing success stories on the App Store, but for every successful developer there are quite a few who haven’t come close to recouping their investment of time and/or money. App Cubby is doing quite well, all things considered, but it took a “Staff Pick” from Apple to get us over the hump.]]>info@appcubby.comNone2008-12-04T13:27:52-06:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/icon_saga.html#unique-entry-id-5http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/icon_saga.html#unique-entry-id-5info@appcubby.comNone2008-07-07T19:43:29-05:00http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/starting_a_blog.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/starting_a_blog.html#unique-entry-id-2
