Hello guys, I noticed how almost 95% of all users report a regret purchasing a particular app. What about the relationship between your good apps and the bad apps, in other words, what is the percentage of all your bad apps? For me at 28 bad ones that is about 15% of all 190 I have, including the ones parked in my MBA. While this percentage is way too high, a lot has to do with my selection process, after all. What is your experience? Do you think Apple iTunes should be more diligent about testing the software stability of apps or is it all up to us users alone anyway?
about 12% of 25 apps. I think apple can't help... Developers should make better stuffs, and we customers shouldn't buy the bad apps... That's why i'm here @toucharcade - read a review or a thread, before you buy an app.
My $0.02 personally for me no more than 10% of my games are bad these days. But i used to just go and buy a game from itunes with-out researching, by doing this i caused my percent of bad games to go up to like 75% plus. But with the help TA i can sort out the good from the bad games. So once again thank you Touch Arcade. May you live on in peace. regards, shap08 yeah like the above posted I believe itunes/apple cant sort out the "good" from the bad games other wise they wouldn't be giving the developers a fair go. And also underground dealing would go on behind our back like a company may pay the apple team to rate a game higher than it should be.
I only have 5-10 bad apps I've paid for on my idevice out of ohh....50 paid apps. But I have over 300 Apps total on my computer. (not all paid mostly free ones)
12.7284% And yes, I think Apple should not let all that crap that floods the App Store, and also apps which make out that they are something, which in fact they are not. But knowing Apple, they probably don't care, as the more apps they have the more $$$$$
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Good App vs Bad App, how/if the iTunes store is going to filter "good" from "bad" to help consumers sort through the noise. I think we are going to need some sort of filter but it makes me nervous at the same time. Who is going to decide what is "good"? The approval process isn't exactly transparent...
Do you like 85% of the movies you see, or music, games or books you buy? Probably not, I don't even know if I'm happy with 50% of my entertainment purchases in other mediums. I think 15% "unsatisfied" rate is pretty great, actually. Especially considering most apps and games are so cheap. Besides, it evens out... I can think of more than a few that I paid 99 cents for, that I use so much I would have happily paid $5, 10, possibly more for them.
out of 8 full pages, 85% of those are games, and i'd say about 2 pages of those i hardly (if ever) play and could get rid of.
I go through a lot of apps, and there's a bunch I don't play anymore, but at $1-$2 a pop I can't really say I regret many of them, even the games I only play a few times. My sandwich today cost $7, so as long as a game is as fun as a fraction of a sandwich, I got my money's worth.
