Brief background: Locket provides advertising on your Android lockscreen. User gets a penny for every time he sees an ad on the lockscreen. My question: Why should Locket pivot due…

P.S. but even before this update, with 250+ ratings visible, there wasn't really a noticeable difference in installs.

Hey Paul, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, agree on the deal-maker. Maybe we can tweak the app copy to see if that improves the downloads. Also, we have a lot of reviews (250+), but …

Thanks! Why though would people click on the ad which is clearly about stocks, if they don't want a stocks app? It's difficult for me to understand this.

We've been running an Adwords campaign for our free iPhone app Stocks+ using Adwords banners on the display network. On 1668 clicks, we have had only 5 installs, for a $19.05 cost …

Yes, we are. We might have to move to a proper paid service like BATS when this gets bigger. http://www.quora.com/Stocks-financial/Where-do-sites-such-as...

We're thinking of an up-sell strategy. Our team has a lot of financial experience (ex-wall street), and there are many advanced products such as portfolio analytics, diversificatio…

Thank you! That's a really good point. We'll be adding a Commodities watchlist in the near future! Are there any particular tickers that you use? With oil, there's spot and futures…

This is our take on what the iOS stocks app should be. Would love to hear feedback on it. https://itunes.apple.com/app/stocks+-alerts-real-time-stock/id667161120?ls=1&mt=8

Not necessarily, there are cheap $1 brokers like Interactive Brokers. I've used them, they get the job done. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/?f=commission

http://investors.evr.st/everest-report-spring-2012.pdf Is this really the state of the valley now?

How about http://99designs.com/ ? You could choose the one you like best, and approach the designer for additional work.

Update: We just got a call from Apple developer relations explaining that all apps which makes use of animation on the lockscreen are not allowed. Well, at least a definite no save…

We've tried this too. But beyond the standard "We'll contact you shortly", nothing has happened after weeks (3-4 weeks).

Thank you for your comments and suggestion. I'm aware that Apple doesn't like this too, and am only asking for help because of 6 rejections in 2.5 months. It's hard when all you ge…

And there's a terrible copy of our app (that doesn't even work), that's sitting at number 2 in paid entertainment! Argh. http://appshopper.com/entertainment/live-wallpaper-your-dev…

Yes, we've put in detailed information, including a demo video. More on the background of the app. When we submitted our first update, we had no background music, and Apple's comme…

We've submitted an iPhone app: LiveLockscreen (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/live-lockscreen-video-live/id510241197?mt=8) The app allows you to play videos in the background toget…

Hey David, that's really inspiring. What do you think differentiated you from the rest of them when you first started?

It's impossible to do anything if you have to look for a completely novel idea. I like the lean startup concept. Keep the costs low and just forge ahead. Once you've started on the…

Your post is missing the main gripe of many developers so far. Which is that there's far more money in iOS land than there is in Android. It's hard for an average game to make more…

We've been working at developing and supporting this iOS app for 14 months now. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dvd-player-for-ipad/id376493632?mt=8 We've tried everything in the bo…
