When I get a new Android device, I throw on the Amazon app memory free, high-quality paid apps receive every day. While, which is great for consumers and certainly much marketed, is this approach good for app maker?
According to a blog entry from the shifty jelly team the free Amazon app store app giveaway program is ideal for consumers and for Amazon, but it can sort of just for developers. The shift-jelly team said that it was raised, from Amazon the free paid app of the day but it would be, not revenue, receive for it. This not the case of the Amazon, where the developer is the hit for good press and exposure to issues the financial hit as the memory.
The team have a chance on them, and sold more than 10,000 apps than it was the free app of the day. Now, "sold" is a relative term because it $0, the of made. It saw a minimum bit the next day and then quickly fell back to its normal volume. After this and some other beefs with the market, the team has completely removed its app from the app store Amazon. He said in a blog post:
What makes us mad, however, is the public perception, the Amazon be paid developers. Every single person we put thought on Twitter or by e-Mail, they help developers from were, and always a free application. Amazon has no effect on these rumors to disperse, they are in fact really restrictive clauses at the bottom of their emails, say that no one is even allowed to discuss these back door offers what you are doing.
Of course hearing of one frustrated developers is no accurate representation of the Amazon app store, but this is definitely not a good sign. Perhaps would be developers with alternative forms of monetization (in-app purchases, advertising, etc.) better going into the free app on the day promotion.
