- Just had a thought... RIM should remove the "Recently Updated" tab in AppWorld and replace it with an "On Sale" tab.
Seems like it would be a lot more useful, especially since Apps should be sending notifications when they're ready to be updated.01-27-12 08:59 AMLike 2 -
There are a couple of reasons that I would like the tab to remain:
1. People who do not own the app will not be notified but might be interested in buying an app that's been improved.
2. Most apps are never on sale. It is difficult to charge lower than $0.99 for an app and make any money by selling it.01-27-12 09:18 AMLike 6 - I agree with you in part. I would like to see a tab (or an option at the top of App world) that listed Apps that are currently "on sale". I do like the "recently updated" tab as I occasionally look through it to see if there are apps that I haven't come across or that may have not been so great in the past, but were recently updated to add functionality.BuzzStarField and BSFA2008 like this.01-27-12 09:18 AMLike 2
- My own app is now in the "Recently Updated" tab and my sales have improved markedly because of it.

In that case, someone can potentially just start their app at $5, and then lower it to $4, and it's "on sale" permanently.01-27-12 06:13 PMLike 0 - I agree the tabs we have now are ok and usefull at times like recently updated lets the devs that are constantly updating there apps get more showcase time as they damn well should (we love those devs
I would like a way of adding categories to a custom tab to easily browse the apps were more likely to check for or atleast some kind of filtered search option.. maybe when the app database gets bigger we will see something like this.01-27-12 06:54 PMLike 0 - My own app is now in the "Recently Updated" tab and my sales have improved markedly because of it.

Anyways , love the recently updated tab to see what devs are doing. Don't get rid of it. Though I can't deny a sale tab would also be welcome if done right.01-27-12 07:25 PMLike 0 - its a great section for people who did not bought the app after reading a couple of bad reviews, as it can tell them that it has now improved.01-27-12 09:08 PMLike 0
