TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) featured my iPhone and iPod touch application Calcutipr in their recent series of posts for WWDC Demos. While I was in San Francisco for Apple’s 2009 WWDC I went by and gave a demo for a blogger from TUAW, who was asking developers to come by and give demonstrations of their apps. I took advantage of this opportunity to get the word out about my app.
I can’t claim TUAW’s post as a review of Calcutipr, it more or less just mentioned it while sending a shout out to all tip calculators in the App Store. My app shared the post with another tip app, Gratuitous. You can read TUAW’s post on tip calculators here.
It seems like most comments on blogs or in App Store reviews I read of tip calculators almost always get the “I don’t need one” response. While I cannot say these comments/reviews are constructive, they have nothing to do with individual applications, I do understand where these commentators are coming from, I simply offer my app as an option. I must admit I do not always use my own app, sometimes it can be easier to do math in your head, sometimes its not.
