Why do crap apps exist? Silly question really – people buy them for entertainment, a better question would be why do ring tone sites still exist 🙂
Not saying our Apps are crap or anything – we have 811,000 installed users who love our stuff!
I wonder if we should be writing Wobble for Zune yet? Or stay with the 90% market leader only? 🙂
We’ve been considering porting for other mobile O/S lately – any thoughts from you guys?
We’ve been hard at work over the last few months building something awesome! Wobble Share…
Wobble Apps have a total installed user base of more than 800,000, which makes them some of the most popular on the App store. Those numbers are set to explode over the coming month with the Wobble Sharing Platform launch next week.
The website is undergoing final setup and testing.
All Wobble users will get an update next week that will enable them to share wobbles via HotWobble.com and also embed Wobbles in their profiles, blogs and web pages – much like you can embed Youtube Videos.
If you are an iPhone developer you are probably keen to get exposure and installs for your Applications. HotWobble has the ability to drive significant sales your way.
We have six 180×150 banner slots available (We plan to use 3 of those slots), so if you or your company are interested please email me asap. Pricing is $1250 per week – preference will be given to larger paid blocks. With 800,000 users all grabbing an update next week you need to be quick! Long term bookings are given preference to reduce admin.
For the past month iGirl was the ONLY app in the store that the “recommended for fans of” search trick worked for. I mentioned this a while back.
I must stress that iGirl was NOT the only developer doing this originally, they just seemed to be getting away with it for longer…
When you did a search for iSteam, Wobble or virtualy any other App name, iGirl used to come up – now it doesn’t.
We were using this method too, with a “Customers who bought Wobble also bought these Apps” – with a list of some apps that matched the Wobble demographic.
Now that the playing field is being levelled it will be fairer to compete!
It seems like this “fix” is rolling through the App store, and removing Apps from searches that shouldn’t be there… not sure of the algorithm, nor the timing, but it seems the database is updating slowly.
Any comments – or other observations welcome…
This is really going to go large! You will be able to email Wobbles to friends, even if they don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch!
Be first in line to try it out and grab Wobble Premium today, with Wobble Premium you will also be able to view shared Wobbles from your friends.
The biggest and best feature is embedding – yep – you will be able to embed a wobble, which you can shake, in any blog, profile or web page! This is a definite first for any iPhone App.
Plus we have some incredible new updated features in store for Wobble Premium – super funny 🙂
Click the link on the left and go buy it now, you will not be disappointed!
I’ve just been playing our new puzzle game, which should be available on the Appstore in a week or so.
The last time I got really stuck into a game and had to keep going (through all 100 levels) was with Blocked. I think Monsters is going to be the same. What do expect from a puzzle with 23,781,703,680 combinations!! Don’t worry, it will only have 45 levels, but it’s very addictive… 🙂
At this point I really have to give a lot of credit to Warren – the designer; if you want design work done, I couldn’t recommend anyone better qualified! Drop me a line for his contact details, and join the queue!
Credit is also due to the outsourced Dev team – great project management has seen all of our projects delivered on time and budget, it might surprise you to learn that the original Wobble cost just $15,000, and has so far Netted over $200,000! Drop me a line if you want to contact the dev team!
Here’s a nice little advert – which will be appearing in the sidebar – I urge you to click here to support alternative energy 🙂
Hey since it’s EarthDay – today would be an ideal day to power your iPhone with the wind! Get the new App that does just that 🙂
Blow on your iPhone or iPod to charge it!!
Not only can you power your phone with Wind, it has a solar charging system built in too!
Here’s a fun App that we just had approved – we’re releasing it FREE, until the first update which will give you a real wind speed meter.
So Grab it while it is Free and get the Free updates when we release them 🙂
Note the Sneak Peek of our upcoming Puzzle too:
So Apple are having a competition to see if they can sell more of the most popular apps, to make them um… more popular!
This will impact the store in the following ways:
Skew the top 100 lists a bit more, again.
Make it difficult for new apps to get up there for the next month.
Make these Apps even more popular, so they will probably remain as the top apps forever.
It will also probably not increase sales much, since these Apps have already been bought the most.
Apple might be better off promoting new new and unseen apps that have been recently popular (where si Skype for example?)
Congrats to the devs in the list, bad luck for anyone who wants to break into the club!
