Im sure im not the only developer here , but just for your info quite recently recurring charging was added to the ios sdk. I believe it was due to this problem. The number of cloud based programs is quite large on the app store. And due to the fact its really difficult to sell apps i would imagine some have closed. Hopefully recurring charging will at least help them survive slightly longer.
Personally i just stay away from cloud apps (except games ). App selling is really tough. There is no way an app with a rating under 100 reviews can survive with cloud servers (unless they were just making it for fun and run the server for more then just that app. My 2 cents :) Sent from my iPhone 3Gs On 27 Mar 2011, at 15:08, Gopiballava Flaherty <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anybody found that a cloud-based app they use on the iPhone has been shut > down? > > At MacWorld, I talked to a company with a $2.99 panoramic stitching app which > did the processing "in the cloud".
