Race to the number of applications in the mobile shops can probably be considered as completed – customers who are not familiar with even that important is the quality, not the quantity, well aware that only count two shops – Google Play and Apple AppStore. The other, more knowledgeable, probably just will seek, whether the platform offers them specific, useful software. Meanwhile, the BlackBerry World is moving in the direction of becoming worse.
If anyone viewing once a day or even once every few days offer new applications, most likely knows what can be found on most surprisingly long list. Tony often downright absurd rubbish at which the guides, which caused another storm are extremely valuable items. Example from today you can see even in the title picture, while this is only a small portion of all the new programs by the listed BlackBerry World – in fact similar, equally meaningless, yet built on the same principle, it was many times more.
The problem is, of course, open the BlackBerry World, which has long been recognized as one of the major advantages, but today you can translate it simply as a total lack of quality control of products entering the offer. Indeed, the program must operate correctly on smartphones, which can be installed, but otherwise can not stick to the guidelines UI / UX can be ugly and, above all, may be completely worthless, meaningless, and this duplicated repeatedly clogging the same place. If we add to this the general mess in the BlackBerry World and incomprehensible promotional activities associated with not deserving of this application and the odd inclusion in the program B4BB, drawing a picture of it is not pretty.
Is not it would be worth so, along with a new CEO, a new approach or even just a new year, try to change the rules of the BlackBerry World, in order to avoid such situations as in the picture above? To be honest, we expected after the last scandal that BlackBerry will at least teach developers using such spam practice, even if it is not expressly stated in the contract. Meanwhile, the situation of every month becomes rather only make matters worse. By checking today, who While garbage delivered to the BlackBerry World, it’s easy to see that the following developers submitted (and received acceptance of) the following number of items:
- S4BB – 48208 (except that reported yet … 140 000 applications)
- Golden Forge, Inc.. – 2336
- PLACE STARS INC. – 2307
At the same time we took as an example of just a few developers from the shore – we did not look particularly, though only takes a few minutes to realize that most developers have the tens, and even even after several hundred items in your portfolio. Exchange? No. Find the other shop, where clicking on a random name at random application developers will discover that in addition to offering not two or three applications, but for example, 50 or 100 Even Google Play can be quite difficult.
Our suggestion? Finally, give yourself peace of race, in which there is no chance to win. Enter the limit of a maximum of 10 applications without charge, and for the next introduce more or less a nominal fee, which forces the developer to think about whether it is actually worth it at all to add. Alternatively, lift restrictions for those who would rather not clutter up the store (like EA and Gameloft), because they are not what discouraged. And the rest? How many programmers have more than 10 really useful programs on offer and do not earn them enough to the introduction of the next one hit to pay the $ 5 or $ 10
other for a few months the BlackBerry will announce probably exceeded the threshold of the next hundreds of thousands of applications and it will be for all the only reason to further ridicule.
