Blind Structure Calculator for Mobile

[JD Roark]

Hey all,

I have just finished development on Blind Valet for mobile (blind structure calculator and poker clock). It is available now in the Android Market and should be available on the Apple App Store in a few days. Here are some screenshots:

I see it "Blind Valet" $2.29

I found it under Blind Valet. $2.29 is the price. How about a soft launch free to a number of Chiptalk members???

This. I still have yet to pay for any apps. Dont mind ads either, most of the time. I also have a handful of devices from old legacy Android devices to tabs and current (EVO) etc, to test this out on. I usualy am beta testing anything I can since I dont have much to do throughout the day.

This is exciting though, thanks for your hard work.

The web version is still free, but I don't have any plans to release a free version of the mobile app. It does represent a great deal of work, and it is still cheaper than a latte at Starbucks.

I completely understand and in no way am trying to weasle you out of your hard earned profit.

Have you looked into setting it up with ads? A few articles I read about Android programs (not Apple) is that the ad versions tend to rake in more dough than paid ad free versions. (The main app was the Auto Task Killer, it made more money in less time when it switched to free ad supported than when it charged a buck for it) Say 10 people buy the app, and you get the $20 or so from it. but they use ot for years. I would think the ads would generate more income than that original 10 people, plus more people would be able to use it, and thus generate more $$$ for the devs.

I may be way wrong, because I have never been on that side of the issue, but just wanted to know if you had checked into it. I would like to know if my scenario is not True for Devs, which would really suck IMO.

I really hope this does well in any aspect. Its a great website, and this for my Android Tab would be great for a tourney since I dont use a laptop.

For apps that are used every day, multiple times a day, the ad model can work quite well. It is less profitable when the apps are used infrequently. Although my app will run a long time when it does run, people typically don't click through much during a tournament so the click through rates would be pretty bad.

To be honest I think the app is worth a lot more than $2.29 (I think that is only a fraction of a buy-in for most tournaments where it is used) but the mobile app market is what it is.

I just played around with the web version. Very nice and easy to use. Does the mobile version have all the same functionality that the web version does? If so, I think it is worth the $2.29(odd price btw).
