Hi Sarah - very interesting perspective on the App Store. I was
particularly struck by one point.

The other iOS phenomenon I would expect to see on the Mac, is greater

App store will require.
I am building a small app (primarily, if not entirely) for my own use.
It does two related, but kind of different, things, which need slightly
different user input. And I've been struggling with how to handle that
Should I
- display all controls
- have modes, and disable those controls that don't currently apply
- hide those that don't apply
- use modal / wizard style for the more complicated one ....
Oh, so many choices. And your point above gave me the right answer for
this case - make it two separate apps. Make each one totally focused, no
complications arise over what controls to show or what to display.
Sometimes the answer is too simple :-)
Thanks,
