Presentation: "Keynote: From Crap to App"
Time:
Monday 18:35 - 19:45
Location:
Salon A, B, C, D
Abstract:
Bad reviews? Slow sales? Flamings bags of poo on your doorstep? Maybe your app sucks. But admitting you have a problem is only half the battle. How do you go about fixing it?
Your instincts might tell you to lower your prices, add more features, or increase your marketing budget, but chances are, none of those things will work. In fact, it might be time to stop listening to your instincts, and start listening to the experts.
Not self-proclaimed experts, but people who have actually shipped number one apps, garnered millions of downloads, and literally rolled around in big piles of money.
Laugh and learn as Mike Lee, costumed avenger of interface abuses, plants his tongue firmly in his cheek to teach you ten things you can do to rehabilitate your lackluster software product.
