Facepunch for iPhone - Reborn - General

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;27288911]Not really. See when half your potential customers don't want to over pay for something then can already do but just a little harder then you have a problem.[/QUOTE] It's fucking 3 dollar, for fuck's sake. I'd understand if you were bitching about 10 bucks or something, but this shit hardly costs more than a cup of coffee and it's for life-time use. Just go around the house finding quarters and shit, you'd be able to afford it. [editline]8th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=nerdygamer;27288911]Not really.

I'm pretty sure that nobody other than you really has a problem with this. You think the app is easy to make? Typing a bunch of shit into a keyboard and voila comes out a fucking app? You obviously never developed anything if you think that 3 dollars are unreasonable.

Maybe you should take a break from facepunch for a while.

[QUOTE=PiXeN;27287824]Well he kinda is, browsing a forum without the ability of posting is only cool if you're a lurker. And no, I can't afford 4$ for an app which will only be used for forum browsing, and I don't want to. That's about just as dumb as paying 9$ for tapatalk.[/QUOTE] Uhh he said you can post and make threads from the free version, so what?

[QUOTE=PieClock;27290814]Uhh he said you can post and make threads from the free version, so what?[/QUOTE] It has ads.

[QUOTE=Overv;27290930]It has ads.[/QUOTE] I doubt the ads are so terrible that that's your entire argument against it.

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;27257611]FYI if you didn't put your UDID in the beta application, or you have a new device now, that's cool. I'll be using a shiny new system called Testflight to deploy the beta. You get push notifications when I upload a new build and stuff like that. It's pretty sweet. Waiting for compwhizii to fix API bugs and move the API over to live forums.[/QUOTE] Wheres the application signup at?

[QUOTE=cosmic duck;27283750]That's stupid. Make it free without ads or don't make it at all. Hexxeh has the free ad supported version covered and the premium one too.[/QUOTE] if the app costs 99 cents, hexxeh could buy a new car after this.

[QUOTE=Whiterfire;27291366]if the app costs 99 cents, hexxeh could buy a new car after this.[/QUOTE] He said its $3/4, but he'll make money from the ads.

[QUOTE=PieClock;27287779]You guys really can't afford to spend $3-4? That's cheap. Aydin, the browsing experience would be much more optimized and enjoyable through an app instead of you browser. That being said it's not like Hexxeh is forcing a paid version down our throat.[/QUOTE] it's like spending money to browse facepunch on a computer. phones are getting bigger (screen wise and memory wise/processor strength) that I'd consider my evo to almost be a mini computer at this point.

If enough people don't want to pay for it, I might be arsed to make a free one. It'd be open source too, like all the stuff I do. I'm not guaranteeing it won't be crap though.

I don't like stupid ads :( Good thing I can add itunes credit with my phone credit. Anyway, can we use it on the iPod Touch 4G?

[QUOTE=mr apple;27292553]I don't like stupid ads :( Good thing I can add itunes credit with my phone credit. Anyway, can we use it on the iPod Touch 4G?[/QUOTE] Don't see why you can't.

[QUOTE=Whiterfire;27291366]if the app costs 99 cents, hexxeh could buy a new car after this.[/QUOTE] To buy and insure the car I have, I'd have to sell 12500 copies. That's not happening. I drive a 2003 Fiat Punto 1.2...

Is it paid because Hexxeh wants to earn money?

[QUOTE=shian;27294066]Is it paid because Hexxeh wants to earn money?[/QUOTE] How dare someone try and make money off of their own hard work!?! Also, he's doing it for school.

[QUOTE=JaxJesse315;27294163]How dare someone try and make money off of their own hard work!?! Also, he's doing it for school.[/QUOTE] Hmmmm, school work eh? I wonder what It will be like when he showcase his work. And then everyone sees furry threads, and all the 'my vagina/penis just got chopped off' threads.

So Hexxeh still has to sell approx 48 - 71 copies to even start making a profit.

I think after Hexxeh covers the development fees and makes a fair profit he should drop the ads on the free version and have the paid version act as somewhat of a donation option. It's pretty lame that he's charging for a program to browse a free forum in the first place but it's understandable due to the SDK fees.

Read the OP, sorry.

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;27285710]We will have two versions: Free version - costs nothing, but has ads - allows browsing and posting and creation of new threads Premium version - costs $3/4, no ads at all - allows browsing, posting, creation of new threads, rating, PMs, popular threads and read threads and possibly push notifications for PMs and replies to threads you read in a future version. I'm trying to make the free version usable enough, but still entice people into upgrading to the paid version. Don't forget, developers only get 70% of the selling price.[/QUOTE] Why are people rating him dumb? Since that is a good idea, be glad you can post on the free app, eg. Tapatalk only allows reading for the free version..

[QUOTE=Freestyle;27300024]Why are people rating him dumb? Since that is a good idea, be glad you can post on the free app, eg.

[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;27300050]Because people are dumbasses and expect free shit, not realizing that you have to pay $100 to even be a developer.[/QUOTE] Yeh, I would like to post my apps on the App Store, but I don't have the money to pay 99$ /year thats not going to pay back much, as someone said they shelled out 99$ and only got like 30$ back. So don't cry about Hexxeh charging money, go look at Tapatalk, free version only supports reading on the forums that have the tapatalk addon installed, so if you're crying "oo.. i can haz buy tpatalkz cuz i can haz use it on all forums" go ahead, buy it for 9$ but dont come crying back when it doesn't work with FP. [editline]9th January 2011[/editline] Atleast Hexxeh makes it so that you can post on the free version... Did I make my point clear?

All the people saying it should be free because 'hurf durf free forum hurf durf' sort of saddens me.

[QUOTE=Overv;27290930]It has ads.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but how does that render him unable to make posts on the free version, which was his point, as highlighted here: [QUOTE=PiXeN;27287824]Well he kinda is, [b]browsing a forum without the ability of posting is only cool if you're a lurker[/b]. And no, I can't afford 4$ for an app which will only be used for forum browsing, and I don't want to. That's about just as dumb as paying 9$ for tapatalk.[/QUOTE]

...must.....rate.....!
