IOS app developers must be getting desperate for revenue

submitted by SmallGuyFromBrooklyn to Rants 11 monthsMay 13, 2024 09:37:13 ago (+6/-0)     (Rants)

I've had multiple emails from a few apps I have, and they are all slashing their prices to bring people in. Strong as hell! In all fairness, these apps were priced so high, it was questionable why. 70$/yr for a dieting app seems a little ... much to say the least. I mean, at the end of the day its a basic timer, some presets, and a note taking app, and that's it

Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha. You're actually using a dieting app?? Ha,ha,ha. Are you deliberately stupid?
This is not rocket science captain genius, eat less, exercise more. That's it. You're welcome.
Ha,ha,ha

Before the internet, self-help type books and programs had around 3% usage after purchase. Apps like that are probably similar, but maybe a few points better because the phone is always on and used. Still, most are going to be satisfied by simply making the purchase. "I did it!"

I could see a free note-taking exercise/calorie tracker. Keeps you honest with yourself at least and it's on your always-tracking-you phone.

Paying for one that sends your data to the government? Fuck that! Back to pen and paper mutherfuckers.

This is a hook to keep you attached to the device and the app. However, every time you say the word "iphone", instead say "magic mirror". Instead of saying "app" or "program", say "demon".

It will eventually all make sense what the sale is all about really. (hint: it's not about money)

You can replace the phone and app with a good lady to settle down with that knows how to cook. It might cost you a lot more than the cell phone plan though.

Branding is like 80% of what makes a sale these days because people are retarded, and a fool and their money is easily parted.

Fat asses are always looking for something to blame when they fail, again, to lose weight. They are also gullible and willing to pay all kinds of crazy money for Something that is supposed to help them instead of changing their habits and taking control of their lives.

I use the free version to track intermittent fasting, but it keeps bugging me about upgrading. I used to use it to track ketosis at one point, but it seems like a lot of the options that made the app great were removed. Or it was buried somewhere, but i have no idea how to turn it back on

Failing apps like to take once-free content and hide it behind the paywall to entice normies to buy. Scummy, but that's the jewish market now. Another trick is to "forget" that you paid for it, forcing you to buy it again. This works particularly well on low-priced apps normies with a thousand apps on their phones that they can't keep track of.

"and a note taking app".
So you can pay to participate in that government study, and then the CEO will write an award winning book five years later.

More like the cost analysis of charging users to be spied on, its very jewish
