My word of advice to people frustrated with Google is the same I've given myself.
First, run your app through the same test you run on every website & application you encounter everyday. If you're like me (and Incognito & others in this post), you decide within 30 seconds whether you like it or not and click to the next option. The judges are doing nothing more than the average consumer. You have to do this honestly for your own app...which is tough with our own efforts. More importantly, look at all the other apps out there. I've personally made a list of over 100+ applications and sorted them into several categories...two of which are "In the top 50" & "Out of the top 50". I've based my selection on criteria such as ingenuity of concept, utility of app, mass appeal, visual appeal, ease of use, possible business model, plus every factor that Google already provided.... I only have about 30 applications in my own "Top 50" while my buckets labeled "Nothing new here" or "Doesn't use Android's unique capabilities" contain about 20% of all submitted applications that I've seen. I'm confident I've seen <50% of all the applications out there as the other 50% haven't posted anything about them. My own app? I've personally placed my own application in a bucket labeled "Bottom 25 of 50" because I've seen some pretty cool apps out there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Challenge" group.
