I earned pathetically $6.30 for my iOS App this quarter My app name is binceipt, which send instant receipt to your customer email inbox. LOL as you like. I guess 2 things causing my pathetic earning are: 1. Sluggish Interface 2. Extremely less business/people want to send email receipt as they are rich enough to constantly buy receipt printers, receipt papers, printer ink/ribbon and etc. 3. They do not give a shit about technology What do you think? Cheers, Mark Thien |
From a dev point of view it looks lazy (a jqm/phonegap app, using the standard theme with a few colour changes). I wouldn't download it because I'd assume the same amount of effort has gone into the functionality as the interface (not much).
From the average public point of view it doesn't look like a normal iOS app. Rightly or wrongly, design of the interface plays a big part in the success of a mobile app (at least for iOS apps anyway).
Of course, this is assuming that there are users out there who want an app like this and are finding it on the app store.
I may trust a retailer with my money to make a purchase, but I won't trust that retailer with my e-mail address to get the receipt. Customers are more comfortable with the paper receipt because it's fast and requires no further time commitment associated with the purchase. If that makes their purchase 10% more expensive it's worth it to them.
Perhaps you might use what you've learned to make a different (or improved) product that appeals to a wider audience.
I'm not sure exactly what your app does from the screenshots, but it looks like it's a way to email a receipt for a purchase to a customer? Wouldn't the business owner probably want this feature integrated with their Point of Sale system or something else, rather than retype everything into their iPhone or iPad? Or is this meant to replace a Point of Sale system?
$100 for my source code? In your f*cking wet dream, nanijoe and you can shove that $100 bill into your ass.
I have provided API for merchants to send receipt to their customer as well, which has an example here: http://binceipt.com/webservice_guide.html
20 receipts for $1.99 is way too expensive man and even more expensive the paper receipt. I guess 200 receipts for $0.99 make more sense.

I am confident that there is a market for this as there are already more than 20 active users.
I am currently converting binceipt to native app.
Inputting data on a touch interface is terrible, so filling out several forms looks really tedious.
