BlackBerry Application Store now has more than 120 thousand. position, but the company does not have to be happy. It turns out that as many as 48 thousand. application comes from one developer account!
Application for BlackBerry World is more and more, but these are low-quality programs

BlackBerry World is developing really well. In March, Thorsten Heins announced that it is full already 100 thousand. position, an increase of 30 thousand. within seven weeks after the official release of BlackBerry OS 10 The pace has not slowed, and by May the developer conference, CEO announced the availability of 120 thousand. application in the store. However, Q10 or Z10 users complain about the lack of core titles for the BlackBerry World and imperfections of many applications. Why? As it turned out, the Canadian manufacturer put much on quantity and not on quality.
In recent weeks the media hype around the Tizen platform clearly faded. There were even rumors that the system “is virtually dead.” However, the service Tizen Indonesia reports that the first unit of a new platform on board will be the 25th of October. read more
not about known affliction, the programs ported to Android. BlackBerry urged to this type of practice, and although it was a good idea to fill in the store, resulting in a huge drop in quality. Of course, not true for all applications, but most of them are just fillers.
editors of The Verge came upon another unprecedented problem – the developer S4BB released to store as many as 48 thousand. position. Although some of them look good, and has even had positive feedback, you do not have to be a genius to figure out that the vast majority is not very polished. According to The Verge are mainly packed RSS-y for individual sites, guides to cities around the world, wallpapers, e-books, movies. So it really is a few applications for small rozmienionych.
And what about BlackBerry? Here’s a comment producer: “Developers in all stores of applications use various monetization strategies. BlackBerry World is an open market for developers and allow market forces to decide the success or failure of these strategies. Discovering high quality applications is a problem affecting all developers and we are working with them shoulder to shoulder in the “Built for BlackBerry” to help promote applications that show the true potential of BlackBerry 10. “
conclusion: conditions imposed by developers and sales strategy is not going to change. Even as one of them deliberately messes up shop. BlackBerry is right in saying that consumers simply will not buy such an application, but does not change the fact that they still will be available at BlackBerry World.
On the other hand, some understand the attitude of Canadians. The shop, at least on paper, has to chase and iOS and Android. The latter has reached the magic threshold of one million apps available, and Apple’s system on his heels. More available appears to Windows Phone, which has over 160 thousand. available items.
Anyway
Microsoft shop also had a problem with developers who throw hundreds of worthless application. Nay, surely every new ecosystem will have to fight this somehow. Microsoft’s solution? Limit of 20 applications per day from one developer account. It was not enough and ultimately limit was reduced to 10
BlackBerry has two outputs. Or do nothing and let the clutters up your own shop, or go the way of Windows Store’a. The latter seems to be more honest and focused on the consumer, but the temptation to light good statistics is perhaps too tempting. After 20 such developers as S4BB and you can compare yourself to the App Store’a or Google Play.
