I've spent probably a good 6 months or so doing this development for Android and putting apps out on the Market. It's been a good experience on the whole and one of the benefits is being able to profit a little bit off of these apps.
The feedback that you get on the Market can be pretty harsh sometimes. It can also be funny. Some people don't seem to understand that these things can take a lot of work in developing and *testing* the app.
This one came in recently:
"Just trying to milk more money from me. This should be included in the app i already bought from them. I am getting a refund!!!"
My response is - wtf do you think I'm doing here? I'm not trying to milk anyone for anything, but I'm not exactly going to give it away for free either. These apps don't write themselves!
Keep in mind that the costs also include a 30% cut for the carriers - so if I charge $.99, they get $.30 and I get $.69.
Hopefully one day I can compile a list of amusing feedback that I've received on these apps - some of them are really funny. Regardless of the feedback, however, I am grateful that you, the user, have downloaded and gotten some form of entertainment out of these apps.
