An image as rigged as the British education system…

Noice!

Stopped even looking at chrome since yrs. If they force their services even via chrome based browsers, I will dump their offerings as much as possible.

Thank you for the detailed response :)

Which is a… Good thing?

‘in my eyes’

That is the entire crux of the argument. And thank God that the 80-85% of the devs don’t feel averse to the entire concept of purchasing power parity.

If you haven’t dabbled in activities/studies as to how one can reduce the value factor while relying on the volume to not only start making some profit BUT ALSO ensuring the ‘first mover’s advantage’, this will be a long drawn and possibly a futile discussion. I have said what was required, while having first hand experience of interacting with the devs who agreed, so that is it from my side. Ciao.

And i will tell you that a good number of devs have indeed reduced the pricing when I have pointed out the anomaly… Including a very relevant app developer.

The basics of business is to sell the commodity enough to make profit on the investment. If you have enough buyers, you can lower the pricing. Else somebody else struts out and steals the potential user base, the exorbitant pricing strategy for a considerable user base will come down to a naught.

Wow. What a dumbass comment. :D I hope the lines of insulin makers are not seeing the evidence of lack of brains right here. Else they will never get the things done right.

I don’t see your companies not making a beeline for the Asian labor. If you cannot comprehend that purchasing power parity is a concept well rooted and not a route to present the begging bowl, you ought to spend sometime reading or amongst learned people.

No. Google doesn’t automatically prices the apps in accordance to purchasing power parity. Many devs are not even aware of this. The setting is available for the devs and only some of them change the pricing according to how it should be for that particular region.

Pricing according to purchasing power parity is a must. People keep clamouring about how its just a price of coffee/beer when the entire argument is baseless.

You should revisit the words and the tone of your response. If its a genuine question, it definitely is lacking in presentation.

Anyways. If you indeed are looking for an answer, Nova has been acquired by a company that generates revenue via harvesting the user data. And ever since apple brought in privacy rule changes, Branch’s scope on iDevices has gone for a toss, which meant that the focus on android increased more. iirc, it was after or around that time that Nova got took over.

Get a room you two…

‘do you just not like a big company came and bought it’

People who don’t know/care abt data harvesting dropping ignorant statements… Yep, reddit isn’t the only one hosting such folks 😁

Nova was the best till the ownership changed hands.

Lawnchair & MS launcher been pretty good.
