AppStore After spending some time in the App Store and getting a feel for it, I realized that there are not a huge amount of applications avilable in the App Store…a lot of them are even in multiple categories. What I also noticed is that there were quite a few Installer applications in the App Store (or apps very similar). Below is a list of the applications that I saw in the App Store that are also available in the Installer. I also included how much the app costs via the App Store. Let me know if you notice any others that I may have missed.

Alarm (a self-defense/emergency alarm with a freefall detector) – Free
Band (collection of virtual instruments) – $9.99
Crosswords (puts crossword puzzles on your iPhone) – $9.99
Drummer (drum emulator) – $4.99
Dactyl (defuse the bombs before they blow up) – $0.99
Funambol (over-the-air backup and synchronization of iPhone contacts) – Free
iFob (social networking app that informs you when you are near other iPhone users) – Free
Karajan (a music and ear trainer for the iPhone) – $14.99
Labyrinth (classic labyrinth) – $6.99
Light (turns your iPhone into a flashlight) – Free
MobileFlickr (flickr navigating application) – $2.99
Moo (plays animal sounds when you shake your iPhone) – Free
MPG (keep track of a variety of expenses for your vehicles) – $0.99
OmniTuner (aka Funiculus) (tuner for a variety of instruments) – $4.99
PhotoDial (allows you to call someone by selecting their photo) – $14.99
Pianist (piano simulator) – $5.99
Sketches (etch-a-sketch on steroids) – $7.99
SuperPong (block-blasting pong game) – $2.99
T4Two (game based on pong) – Free
TapSterio (Change the frequency of the tone by sliding the ball around the screen) – $0.99
TapTheBeat (allows you to tap out a beat on a touch pad and it then gives you the tempo in beats per minute) – Free
ToDo (simple todo list) – Free
Trism (similar to bejeweled…only cooler) – $4.99
Tipper or Splitter (bill splitting/tip calculating applications) – $0.99
Voice Notes (record audio notes) – $9.99
Yes/No (when the app opens you will either get a screen displaying a Yes or a No) – Free

    Brooke on July 10th, 2008 9:55 pm:

    Yes, I saw that on her website as well.

    Tarek Mansour on July 11th, 2008 7:56 am:

    Erica , Did not publish the source code of her App or any other App, so why they call that steal, is the idea of taking voice note is owned by Erica? or Did Erica the Owner of the Name Voice Note

    Tasdf on July 11th, 2008 12:55 pm:

    tarek mansour must be the developer of the other voice recording applications on App store that got C+D letter from erica.

    I’m sure there are ways of accessing code besides when someone publishes it.

    Dactyl – $0.99 (you have to do a search for it–apparently the app store categories aren’t working properly)

    OmniTuner (aka Funiculus) – $4.99

    Yeah, not all of them are the exact app…some are just similar.

  4. karmageddon on July 10th, 2008 10:12 pm:

    yeah, i cant believe they are charging 8 bucks for sketches! Are you kidding me!

    vege on July 11th, 2008 3:19 am:

    does sketches 0.7b6 have an expiry date on the old iphone?

    karmageddon on July 11th, 2008 10:23 am:

    right before i got firmware 2.0 on my ipod touch, i updated sketches through Hebrew and it worked fine.

    vege on July 11th, 2008 6:49 pm:

    i tested it by setting maually the date two years forward… and sadly… opening sketches would pop up “beta version expired”.

  5. matt on July 10th, 2008 10:14 pm:

    Yeah, I’m definitely not upgrading anytime soon. There’s no way I’m going to start paying that much for apps I’ve had for free for months now.

    vege on July 11th, 2008 1:59 am:

    in fact, i am saddened many of the “free” apps on installer have moved to appstore. if i count the freewares i have on my old iphone, think they may worth couple hundred bucks?!

  6. Cody on July 10th, 2008 10:19 pm:

    Labyrinth – $6.99

  11. Bono01 on July 11th, 2008 2:19 am:

    I think 5,99$ for Pianist or 7,99$ for Sketches is too much. These are old Apps and we have them for free in Installer. I think i will wait with Updating my iPhone to OS 2.0 a bit longer now!!!

  16. sean on July 11th, 2008 8:49 am:

    I can feel it now, people Are going to realize how much money they are making in the app store and start making the apps in installer all trial versions.then tack on a price in installer as well. Please lets hope im wrong

    Negative app store comments on former Installer apps (”Used to be free…1/5 stars) have sent a message to developers that they are being punished for having released an app to the JB community. So I seriously doubt this will happen.

    [...] razie – konieczność zakupienia do tej pory darmowych wersji w App Store. Jak wiecie jest tam już kilka znajomych tytułów… W każdym razie gdy wiemy już że udało się nowe oprogramowanie [...]

  22. iPhone Developer on July 12th, 2008 4:50 am:

    Hey, what are a few bucks for an application where a developer spend hundreds of hours developing it? Lets make a calculation:

    An app sold for $9.99 =>

    Apple gets 30% then there is $6.99 left

    Then pay 30% taxes to the us tax office => $4,89 left

    So, when It took about 500 hours to develop and we calculate $20/hour which is nothing for a programmer then the developer spend $10000 to develop the program.

    That means, the developer have to sell 2044 copys to get the costs of his work back.

    This is maybe possible on popular apps like games. But there are lots of special apps where it is not possible to sell so much.

    Think about this before to about the prices!

    And for those who think that a 2.0 Jailbreak brings all the old “free” Applications back, I just can say: This is a dream. Developers who are developing for AppStore will not adopt their apps for 2.0 jailbreak and the old 1.1.4 jailbreak apps will not work on 2.0. So you have two choices:

    1. Stay on 1.1.4 and use old apps
    2. Update to 2.0 and use new apps and pay for the hard work of the developers.

    Thanks,
    an iPhone developer

    Yes well that is all well and good, but what about the applications that are available in installer and not in AppStore? How do we get those!

    iPhone Developer on July 21st, 2008 2:54 pm:

    I say nothing about installer and jailbreak. It is good that these things exists. I also have a jailbroken iPhone. But I can’t understand the people who say that a few bucks are too much for an application.

    if you want the applications which are not available in AppStore but in Installer, you need to stay on 1.1.4 right now. It will take time until the developers adopted their apps so they run on 2.0
