Please review my iPhone app (icons recognition) (opens in new tab)

When I think of "sharing", what usually comes to my mind is two people copying things around. This situation comes with two great implications that your app does not follow:

1) The configurations or any settings will be copied along;

2) You won't have to pay for it.

I wouldn't bother with #1, but the review guy was probably pissed because of #2.

Your English is flawless, but I think you forgot that "sharing" is used in "file sharing" and is bound to attract people that don't want to pay for things. Thus they get double annoyed when they pay for an app that does not let them not pay for other apps.

Certainly you should revise your text to be the best possible. But a lot of app buyers simply don't read the text, and dealing with negative reviews is part of the app store process. I sell a gps and offline maps app. In big capital letters with asterisks around it we say that iPod touch users need an external GPS device to gps track, but that they can use the offline maps. We still get irate emails from touch users.

It's certainly a cool idea, and very novel and non-obvious (at least to me). Well done.

I'd be concerned about getting many users to install/use it, though, because it always takes up a space on the Home screen, when it'll only very rarely get used. I wonder if we'll see more uptake of apps like this when users get on OS 4 with its folders... I could see myself keeping a few folders of "rarely used utility" apps. As it is, I wouldn't keep this app on my device just because of the "clutter" aspect.

The App Store comment saying it should be cheaper made me laugh.
