But I<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a title=\"buying cialis\" href=\"http:\/\/buycialisonlinenowe.com\/\">buying cialis<\/a><\/div>\n<p>get their passion; and feel the same way logging into iTunes or Google play.<\/p>\n<p>Now no matter how many apps I review or test, the reality is that I can only interact with about 10,000 apps a year. This means I will never get ahead of the curve. However, I\u2019ve seen enough to hazard a comment or two on why some apps make traction (downloads) and money (once-in-a while).<br \/>Every app designer I have met has at some point in build process gotten a little dreamy eyed, imagining wild successes and raving blog reviews. But this happens so rarely. When it does happen, I have noted 4 common factors which I am submit to the readers for testing and evaluation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>\n<b>Communication :<\/b><\/p><p> The application facilitates, enhances, makes more convenient or direct an individual or groups ability to communicate with another. I can say something louder, faster, or to more people at one time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Convenience<\/b>: \n<p>I may use the app one time, then another, and then somehow a few weeks later I realize that it now a part of my permanent digital wardrobe. I perceive the application as somehow making my life a little easier, and am appreciative enough to move it to my home screen.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n <b>Entertainment<\/b>: \n<p>My brother-in-law loves flatulence apps, so there is no accounting for taste here; but the app needs to be fun and appealing on some level. Apps without fun are like cakes without frosting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li> <b>Empowerment<\/b>:\n<p> Yes, literally the application makes the bars on your personal power meter go up a few notches when you turn it on or show your friends. At the end of a 45 minute phone call with a government entity, I can turn on the app and somehow feel better.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not all successful apps offer all four features. Some just do one or two well. But when I start getting dreamy eyed while building wireframes, I now splash a little water, (or tepid coffee) in my face and look the wall next to me where I have my 4 rules hanging, right next to the first dollar I made on PayPal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Tim Morris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My sisters love shopping.
