Hello! My name is Matthew and I am a blogger. I will write an article on the problems (not technical) of an app developer. I decided to open a new thread here because I believe XDA is the largest community of app developers.
I ask some leading questions and then maybe you built
1)Are you for or against free apps? Why? Your apps are free?
2)Would you use tracks and analyzes services for your mobile apps' sales? If not, why?
3)If a blogger contact you and ask you redeem code in exchange for a review, would you accept? If not, why?
4)Have you ever done to help the beta testers? If not, why?
5)Would you use a low-cost but high quality service to get feedback from people downloading your app? If not, why?
Thank you!

Hi does anyone want me to publish their application(s) or game(s) on the Android market please note though I can only set their price to free, if you have any send me an e-mail explaining the app and why you want it published send that with a few icons (one that's 512x512 at least) and I'll test the game(s) or app(s) and publish them free of charge... but only if I'm satisfied
Please consider this offer.
Edit: oh sorry I forgot to add my email it's [email protected]
I can't think of any scenario except when the app is malware, where a developer would want to do this.
if someone went through the hard work of developing an app or game, why wouldn't they just post it on the market themselves instead of having you as the middle man?
I am uncomfortable with this suggestion and the possible ramifications with regards to fraud, malware, taking credit for other peoples work etc.
I am closing this thread for this very reason, OP, please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss this further.
Tim.
Hi all
I'm in the final year of college and I'm writing a paper about free marketing for app publishers.
I'm trying to get an overview of the amount of time and money app publishers nowadays put in to marketing. So I'm hoping some of you people could help me out here. Anybody that published an app once, could you please answer a few simple questions for me? That would really help me out.
Thank you!
1) What is the name of the app you published?
2) Did you put in time/effort to promote this app? If yes, how much? (more or less)
3) Did you spend money on the marketing of that app? If yes, how much? (more or less)
4) Did you do a lot of research before you tried to promote your app, or did you just tried something?
5) Final question, do you think a paper about free marketing could help out a lot of app publishers, like yourself? What topic would interest you in reading this paper? (For instance, examples of succesfull free marketing campaigns, tips to improve your social media marketing etc.)
If you have any extra information about the marketing of your app that you like to share with me, please add it
Please reply your answers to me in this thread, or e-mail it to me: [email protected]
Thanks again!!
Hi everyone,
I am wondering why there is no alternative to push bullet when it comes to answering whatsapp messages on PC. All the apps that support something in that direction, only support SMS.
1. Why the run towards supporting SMS? The only people I know that still use SMS are those dinosaurs who do not have a smartphone. Why is the option to reply to SMS heavily promoted as convenient when 95% of our communication uses messengers that are not supported?
2. Why is no one ranting about all those apps not supporting messengers, why do all journalists only promote those apps as convenient, never criticizing the lack of important features?
3. Is there a technical limitation that prevents other app developers to support replying to messages from messengers like Whatsapp, Disa etc? Why is PushBullet technically able to reply to those messages but no other app?
4. Are there just too few people like me that want such a PC client there just is no demand for a desktop (i.e. Windows) client that supports such a thing?
I would really like to have an alternative to that ridiculously overpriced pushbullet premium service.
Why should I pay such a big fee every month for an app that in theory only needs my wifi as ressource, not any cloud services, traffic from the developers etc, meaning no running costs for the devs?
I would have paid 4€ once for the app because what I would be buying is a finished product that does not produce costs for the developers after that but I'm sure as hell not going to pay money each month just to be allowed to continue using an app.
Sorry for the rant but I would really be interested in your opinions on this topic, especially in technical explanations why there is no such an app besides pushbullet. I'm thinking about writing my own app some day for this purpose since there is just no free solution that suits my demands.

Hi all and sorry for my english
I must develop a "little" app for an Agency : the boss want to know where are the employees that lead on truck... Than all the employees install this new app on the phone with gps active and on the boss phone there is the map with position of the employees...
Than, first of all, is possibile to create an app with this feature?
If yes, can I build this as a web app or must use native language for android / ios to use feature of the phone like gps ?
I have other question but for know I must know this two replies
Thanks
I suggest you do some research before you do, you can go to the appinner to look up a similar app, in particular, can look at how the app is designed and which packages and background services they used.

Hello guys. So I'm working on my first app and was looking for a way how to make some profit from it. Recently I found this article about mobile app monetization with SDK. Just wanted to ask you, has anyone tried any of there methods? Maybe you have some recommendations on how I could monetize my app? Thanks

Sup, I'm using Admob for almost half a year. I assume it's the most popular and reliable way to monetize your app. What I recently found was Globalhop sdk. Before I didn't know that you can combine two sdks but it seems that Globalhop can work along with Admob. And to say truly, I immediately noticed that my monthly income increased after I started using them both. So far had no complaints from the app users about slowness issues. Hope there won't be any in the future.
