Regardless of the quality of the application this story is proof that just throwing something up on an application store is not enough. As you guys have said before – app stores are not a marketing channel – they are ‘merely’ a distribution channel. A distribution channel is worthless unless others know or hear about what you are doing – thus creating the need and the desire to purchase.

Their marketing strategy paid off and the distribution channel was ‘robust’ enough to handle the demand.

Cheers,
Jose HC

These UIs may look cool but they really just get in the way.

For now I am sticking with Convert by Polar Bear Farm, as it has not failed me yet.

Unfortunately for me it was a major disappointment, and far less usable than other Convert apps that I have. Although it is $1.12 I still am annoyed I wasted it.
