Kurosh, The most important thing is that you do not base your 6 years worth work on the results of this challenge. In all likelihood your app might've got 5-10 minutes of review before being scored. I wouldn't take the "Originality" points literally either. My take is that there is a lot of subjectivity in these decisions - regardless of whether there is a scoring scheme. So if someone likes an app in general, they might just give a high score to all 4 criteria; and in the same vain if for whatever reason the app doesn't appeal to someone they might just spread the final score across all the criteria.
You should trust your own judgement and like others in the post have said use other avenues to push your app out. I don't see any reason for you to "give it away" like you said in one of the other posts. I am sure there are enough non-profits that might have an interest in your application. All the best. -Gauri On May 19, 3:30 am, kurosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The reason I made this post is because in the past 24 hours I have > actually begun believing that the judges might be right and that my > application is truely worthless. > > Maybe I should change my profession or something. :-) > > On May 19, 11:32 am, kurosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I stand corrected, > > "Marketing would probably laugh at me" :-) > > > On May 19, 11:30 am, kurosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Having said all that, Marketing would problem laugh at me. :-) > > > Where in heaven's name did this idealist come from? > > > Just had to express my thoughts.
