Who is behind AppFeed, and what to expect from him?

Immediately after the release of the Android client, I got a lot of negative feedback from users: about the app itself, about the methods I choose to use, about the limitation, the bugs, the UI, but I also got some positive feedback and some compliments.

I want to quickly explain why I released a not-so-perfect app:

The whole AppFeed project (Website, Chrome extension, Android app) are being managed, developed, tested, maintained and supported by me, a single person. I have a real full-time job that pays living expenses, but during my free time and weekends, I like to stay updated about development, tech and Android, so I created the AppFeed project.

Having so little free time to do development, I had to choose between launching a complete and perfectly tested and working android app (or website), that will require me around 5-6 months of work (in weekends, all for free), or released the app as beta, with bugs, and add features when I have time. Knowing my time limits, I went with the second option.

Sorry for those who expect everything from a single person, and for free, that’s not how I work, AppFeed started as a personal project and for my passion for the Android world, but ended up open to everyone.

Thanks for your understanding, and hope that you enjoy it…

    It will make it easier when finding apps in the play store via the mobile. Probably would have been better to have described it as a “beta” in the play store, anyway seems to be working well now :-)

      Everything is Beta in the AppFeed Project, nothing is final yet :)
