A basic lessen in marketing of apps.

Category: Administrator @ 18:40

So, I made two apps for Windows Phone 7 for generating QR Codes. The first one is ok at generating the codes, but really limited in functionality.

I decided to start from scratch and make a really great app with a Windows Phone’ish UI, live-tiles and the works.

The funny thing – the crappy app is downloaded A LOT more!

Great App: QR Coder

    5 downloads, but great reviews

Limited App: QR Generator

  600 downloads and counting and crappy reviews

Granted, the crappy-app has had a little bit more time in the marketplace and both apps are mere drops in the sea of apps, but I see a CLEAR appetite for the crappy app in the marketplace.

I just can’t help it. I think it’s because of the girl on the icon… I really do!

Just think it’s kind of funny…
