Some of the playing styles require large bends or use of a tremelo which is much more likely to throw some of your strings out during a performance. If you start a concert at dusk your guitar will go quite a bit sharp if you have a cool breeze blowing across the stage after the sun sets. Steel core strings (on guitar) have a much higher coefficient of thermal expansion than gut-core strings (on orchestra instruments). With guitar you are much more likely to have to re-tune during a performance. Everything else is smoke created by excessive capital that makes everyone's life more miserable. So my conclusion is that the only viable method of monetization is one-time IAPs or up-front software purchases and the only sustainable software project is one that aims to remain small. I suspect apps keep trying to monetize via ads because they all want to be a "giant", and actually charging for content keeps you small and unattractive to capital But in their current form they are a scam or a marketing channel for the big monopolies (Amazon, etc)Ĭ) ads aren't worth the money Google or anyone pay you for showing them on your app/website. It would be great if ads worked and weren't abused by the extremely well-funded because they are a fantastic sales channel for medium and small sized businesses. Also, ads don't really work that well since Apple flipped the switch off on tracking. Giants offloading billions on absurd ad spends made ad placement unaffordable to many sustainable businesses. It's irresponsible to make them responsible for thisī) ads are great because of their ability to appear in searches made by customers who are looking for exactly what I am selling. People shouldn't be expected to keep an eye on more recurring payments than absolutely necessary unless they have a personal assistant. I however will agree to a one time IAP because it doesn't litter my bank account history. But I will watch ads rather than pay a subscription any day of the week. These is how each point of view is unable to be reconciled:Ī) ads are annoying. I have different points of views because I am at the same time (a) a user, (b) a marketer and (c) an ad platform So - let's focus on what true issue / rage is, and compare apples to apples :) And again, if you picked random tuner from Amazon instead of going to store or reading reviews your experience might be the same. If those aren't in the top 30 of your appstore search, then we have a discoverablity problem, not a free or ad supported software problem. Put your money where your mouth - or rather righteous blogs and comments are.Įdit: google "best tuner apps" and the two I use are consistently at the top. We have a choice between ad supported and paid product. My expectation of free apps are exactly what price would suggest. I am not spammed with adware but I assume I paid for them at some point - I get value so I gave them money. I wish I preferred the hardware unit, I do - but the convenience factor of the app is too high. And two apps that are on all my devices, easily always accessible at home or friend's, and can tune my guitar my bass and my kids ukulele. A sturdy boss tuner somewhere in my drawer of cables that's pain to pull out. I have a drawer of clip-on tuners which broke or ran out of battery which is hard to change or just weren't easy to use or reliable.
