» How does your App Store differ from the BlackBerry App World?
This chart provides differences at a glance. We consider our App Store wallet-friendly, user-friendly and developer-friendly. It was designed to provide a desktop quality experience directly on the BlackBerry device without the need for opening a browser.
The Version Tracking function is a key differentiator and a great way for BlackBerry owners to be sure that they have the most current versions of all the apps on their device (no matter where the app came from). This is something we believe folks will find very convenient and comforting.
» What makes your app store wallet-friendly?
- Our Deal-of-the-Day, an exclusive to the On-Device BlackBerry App Store, offers one top app a day at a steep discount (50% off).
- Many discounted apps and specials are offered every day.
- Apps priced as low as $0.99 versus $2.99 and up for App World.
» Breaking it down further, how is it user-friendly?
- Automatic device detection makes sure only the apps compatible with the customer’s particular BlackBerry are displayed.
- It was designed to make it super easy to quickly locate items of interest, such as Deal of the Day (Deal), Specials, What’s New, What’s Hot, Top Apps.
- You can search by Category (i.e. Personal Productivity, Themes, Games, Entertainment, Communication & Internet, etc.). Next to each category name, the MobiHand store shows a number indicating how many apps are available for your type of BlackBerry.
- When you select an app of interest, like in the example above, you get a screen where you are offered a several options: Buy, Try, or Rate. You can also check out Reviews and Screenshots.
Other user-friendly features include:
- You can conveniently pay with a credit card, eliminating the need for a Paypal account. Also, after completing the initial registration process, checking out can be quickly accomplished with just one click.
- Apps are quickly delivered over the air (OTA) and automatically installed --eliminating any fuss.
- We also have a dedicated customer support team to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
» What makes your app store developer-friendly?
- MobiHand has partnered with the top Blackberry-focused editorial sites and has a program that helps facilitate product reviews.
- We provide a number of marketing opportunities (Deal of the Day, specials, bundles) to help garner app visibility. We also provide Coupon codes for promotions and support for discounted pricing on multi-product bundles.
- Products in the MobiHand catalog also appear in a large number of co-branded BlackBerry-focused desktop stores.
- MobiReach, our powerful and mature management system, provides real-time visibility so developers can manage their products and monitor download and sales activity across the MobiHand Network. It provides broad marketing visibility, including access to customer information, sales reports by product and point-of-sale type, real-time earnings report showing each transaction, and a real-time summary balance report.
