Hi, Valid points, however, we need real data.
I'll give you some then. Right now my app has 70% retention after purchase. So it's the reverse of what you say. I have 30% of people return it, everyone else keeps it and I get paid. I don't think that is too bad. And yes, I have found my app on pirate sites, but I do lots of new features every month or so. Those pirates haven't kept up with that at all. -niko On Oct 29, 4:46 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > Biggest market issues for me are : > > - copy protection doesn't work - apps get hacked and redistributed > within 24 hours > - users backup apps to sdcard, refund and reinstall = no payment to > dev > - payments fail on international orders > - most countries still excluded from paid apps > > The 4 issues above mean that for every sale that a dev is only > achieving a low percentage of sales he or she has earned - maybe as > low as 30% although this is obviously just a guess. > > Google please fix so that app devs are motivated to make better apps > rather than have their work stolen or simply unavailable to users who > want to buy (which only fuels the illegal market further). > > And yes I have listed on alternative markets - but the experience so > far is that most users give up after attempting purchase on primary > market. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
