AppsFire Schools Us Over Hyperbole
Okay, okay, I admit, I dabble in rampant exaggeration of headlines from time to time. It’s not always accurate, but sarcasm is a powerful force. AppsFire have decided to take the high road, and actually explain what the 20/80 split their previous piece was talking about means. They’re right, we misrepresented their study for a funny headline. 80% of apps don’t “suck”, 80% of apps are not found. It’s a combination of apps that are marketed wrong, are poorly maintained, that people just don’t hear about, and yes some that are actually just bad. The app store is a huge place, bogged down by poor search implementation, and it doesn’t do an adequate job of exposing new and interesting software. It’s a very interesting follow up piece, and worth having a read over if you’re interested in app store distribution.
Glad you enjoyed the piece. BTW we d love to have you in our VIP appsfire.com/vips
