Top Five Worst Ideas for Tablet Apps

Top Five Worst Ideas for Tablet Apps

Apple’s “There’s an App for That” has proven true very often. Some of these bad app ideas, take it to the extreme and should never be developed if it can be helped:

1.Tablet Ping Pong Paddle

This tablet app lets you use your tablet as a ping pong paddle, recording each hit for later analysis to improve your ping pong skills. An additional handle device would need to be attached to get the real look and feel of a paddle.

2.Tablet Rotating Circular Disc of Throwing

Popular on college campuses, parks and beaches across the globe, a Frisbee simulation app for your tablet lets you hurl your tablet to your friends with the real look and feel of an actual Frisbee.

3.Tablet App, Bullet Proof Shield

This app displays the image of a bullet proof shield and gives the wielder of the tablet an over inflated feeling of protection from bullets.

4.Weight Loss Motivator

The tablet app weight loss motivator asks its users to use their tablet as a scale. The app will then report helpful messages to motivate the user to lose weight.

5.The IAMParanoid Tablet App

The only problem with the design of this tablet app is that you need two tablets to use it. One tablet is attached to a backpack and the other tablet is carried with the user. The app identifies people following the user and gives them a false sense of security. To get the full feeling of security, multiple tablets can be worn as a suit, thus protecting all sides of the user from alien abductions or CIA black helicopters.

Throwing, standing on or using your tablet as a shield of any kind may void warranties and is not recommended.

Decisiveness in Revenue Opportunities with Tablet Apps

Decisiveness in Revenue Opportunities with Tablet Apps

Are subscription services the best way to go in monetizing your tablet apps? Magazines sure seem to think so. Some success, mind you not great success, just some success has been found with subscription services for magazines and newspapers. The top ranking monetizing technique with apps has so far been to offer free apps with full access and collect revenue from advertisers. Services providing apps that have limited functionality are in some cases being entirely ignored. Consumer feedback reports that limited use tablet apps eventually fall into a graveyard of apps that never get used. Free seems to be the way to go when it comes to services on the internet as well as through tablet apps.

Tablet Apps Advertising

Don’t specifically target types of tablets with your tablet app; instead, develop as a web app that can be read by your tablet app on any brand tablet. Even though Android is crushing the competition, it would limit your tablet apps revenue potential by only developing for a specific brand.

Content in Tablet Apps

Tablet Apps require incredibly great and original content to secure brand loyalty. Even though some of the top selling tablet apps do not contain original works, that will slowly change as the top news services start to shut down syndication over the internet.

Tablet Apps iPad Apps Photogene

One of the things that the apple iPad made possible was high quality photo editing on the go. While the iPhone has apps available for photo editing, the large screen of the iPad makes the possibilities endless. Photogene is a high quality photo editing app available on the iPad and developed by Omer Shoor.

The program allows for photo edits that can easily be used by both beginners as well as advanced photo editors. There are fun aspects also including the addition of picture frames, text boxes and bubbles that come in different colors, fonts and styles.

Photos can be taken using the software, or imported from the iPad camera itself. There is also the option to geo-tag photo locations.

Tablet Apps iPad Turbo Grannies

There is a new game gaining popularity for iPadd and a game with such an intriguing title should not be ignored. Turbo Grannies is a motorcycle racing and action game featuring a old grannie as the main character. There are several levels to complete and they have proven to be both fun and addictive.

The game play animation is smooth and the graphics are good for the type of game it is. The controls are easy to use on screen controls with an accelerometer. By tapping the right side of the screen the grannie accelerates and by tapping the left side the brakes, or reverse will be activated.

There are three different types of racing levels and terrains which include Suburbia, Mountains and Desert. The point of the game is to get through each level as quickly as possible, hitting the entire race checkpoints. The game is priced at $1.10 and is worth it!
