The iTunes App Store  5 fails. 5 solutions. 5 minutes. Matt  Mayer, ReignDesign (@matthewmayer) Mobile Mondays, 2009.06.29
The review process
A few adjectives Slow Inconsistent Opaque Subjective
Seven hundred Quidditch fouls are listed in the Department of Magical Games and Sports records… The full list of these fouls, however, has never been made available to the wizarding public. It is the Department's view that witches and wizards who see the list ‘might get ideas’ J.K. Rowling, QuidditchThrough the Ages
Reasons for rejection: “duplicates built-in functionality” “potentially offensive content” “use of Apple trademarks” “beta software” “logos don’t match” “undocumented API” ….
What can you do about it? Read the rules (written and unwritten) Make a fuss Iterate
No sales metrics
Who is using my app?     How did they  find my app? Which countries? Which devices? Which versions? Which features? Which times of day? Searching in iTunes? Related Apps? Advertising? Review sites?
What can you do about it? Use your own download page Roll your own metrics Use third-party metrics Survey your users
iTunes Connect
SORRY, YOU’RE NOT SADISTIC ENOUGH TO DESIGN THE ITUNES CONNECT INTERFACE
iTunes Connect UX fails Slow response times Poor usability for common tasks Breaks the Back button
What can you do about it? Heartbeat (heartbeatapp.com) Pre-register your apps
No protection for your IP
What can you do about it? Complain to Apple Fight fire with fire
Payment structure
Get paid here Earn here
The territories scam  You need to hit $250 in each territory
What can you do about it? Create an app pipeline Identify your core markets
Thanks!
