$450 Crap App Becomes #3 Grossing Application In Less Than One Day [Just Wrong]

App developer’s take note … this should provide plenty of motivation for achieving App Store success and billions of dollars!

You know those so-called “noteworthy and profitable” apps like Doodle Jump, Pocket God or Tetris? Those apps which developers work their ass off trying to release and maintain a quality product? F*CK ‘EM!

All you really need to do is spend 10 minutes programming a few black screens with decorative frames around the edges … call it an iPhone mirror … and increase the bastard’s from ninety nine cents to  four hundred and fifty dollars.

The end result of your bullshit? Some poor suckers will make your work (we use the term loosely) the #3 overall Top Grossing app … $$ Ka-Ching $$

  • I would have chalked it up to fat fingering, but the this dude has done it previously with some of his other apps.

  • Given the number of iPhone users there are, around a million might be drunk at any one time…

  • Nava

    Perhaps it's really Spencer “the ultimate douche” Pratt in disguise and he's trying to make money to get his woman more plastic surgery?

    (PS: I hate myself for commenting about Spencer…)

    I think it was a screw up on thier part, it is back to $0.99 in the App Store.

  • Squeeker

    Was this dev the guy who lost the iPhone in the bar who made this.
    Ps What do you use to track price changes?

  • good sleuthing! a repeat offender … what a turd!

  • hmmm … perhaps a wise sales strategy – selling to drunk iPhone users …
    this we like 🙂

  • LOL … a good point … oh that Spencer!!

  • yes, we considered that, but it's still listed as the #3 grossing app even
    though the price fell back to $0.99. and as Tim mentioned, seems the
    developer has employed this unique pricing strategy in the past … guess he
    hit it big time with his latest krapp.

  • LOL … wouldn't surprise us! 😉
