As the developer of NPR Podcasts app on the Market, I think I will have something to say here, since Google Listen is in direct competition to my app. My app is free for the record. It's buggy and was built about 9 months ago. I did it in my spare time 'cuz I really like NPR :)
It has 28,000+ downloads and 8,600+ active users today. But the retention rate is dropping... fast! I neither have the time nor have the monetary incentive (it's free) to keep the updates coming for the app. I also don't get paid for 20% of my work time on my personal project or my boss will kill me ;) So starting today, I'm officially suspending the development on NPR Podcasts app indefinitely. I'm sad for my decision but I'm glad and hope Google Listen can pick up the slack going forward. There are some improvements they can roll out, such as entering custom podcast URL, etc. I will focus more on specialty/niche apps going forward, and spend more of my time on iPhone and webOS apps. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
