Developer Calls Amazon Appstore a 'Disaster'

An anonymous reader writes "The developer of the current #2 Top App on Android Market has written a very interesting article giving six reasons why they decided to pull their game from Amazon Appstore. From the article: 'If you are a small indie development team, or possibly even alone, don't bother with Amazon Appstore. Create a great app, publish it on Android Market, and provide great customer support. You will never succeed on Amazon Appstore without a big wallet, or at least an established reputation so that Amazon puts value behind their promises.'"

Droid is not a monoculture...

The developer has a choice to pull the app because he doesn't like the deal from the retailer.

The consumer can purchase the app from another vendor, or even contact the developer directly to arrange a direct sale.

And before the inevitable iTunes comparisons, Apple themselves choose which retailers can and cannot stock their products, no different to Levi's Jeans or countless other brand name companies.

If I posted a story on here moaning about the fact that I didn't get the pay increase I thought I deserved from my employer last year, there would be countless "then go work for someone else" responses.

In other words, nothing to see here - it's up to the developer and Amazon to work out a deal.
