Tweet Time Hi all, show of hands... who's here tonight?

We're talking about Developing for the Android Platform tonight! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:02:02 +0000 I'm here! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:02:04 +0000 I'm here. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:03:19 +0000 Hi everyone! After ages, I'm finally able to come back to this chat. The production of my app has me locked up in a cave! #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:04:48 +0000 @Brooks_Jones isn't going to be here tonight (and will be missed!), but @iPad_storytime and I are both hosting #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:05:03 +0000 Hi There @roxiemunro @DavidBFox @ipad_storytime @karenrobertson #storyappchat (Topic: Android App Store) Mon, 27 May 2013 01:05:11 +0000 Welcome @roxiemunro, @momswithapps, and @Allikidzcontent (and @iPad_storytime)! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:05:55 +0000 I'm here! (after several weeks off - so nice to see everyone) ... we'll be missing @brooks_jones until next week. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:06:08 +0000 RT @momswithapps: Hi There @roxiemunro @DavidBFox @ipad_storytime @karenrobertson #storyappchat (Topic: Android App Store) Mon, 27 May 2013 01:06:23 +0000 @Allikidzcontent How's it going? When do we get to see it? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:06:34 +0000 Hope those of you in the US are having a great 3-day weekend... Feels like Saturday. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:06:48 +0000 @iPad_storytime Me too for a little bit. Sunday nights are tough! Miss @brooks_jones #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:07:02 +0000 My developer partners are very keen on the idea of coming out with our app for every platform.we'll launch iOS first, though #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:07:13 +0000 I've also got my hubby, Marc on standby to answer questions - he's a seasoned Android programmer. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:07:17 +0000 Welcome to @KarenRobertson! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:07:21 +0000 Hi Karen! Hopefully launching for the Back to School weeks! #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:08:08 +0000 I spent the weekend helping my little sis celebrate her 40th birthday. Feeling a little tepid from wine tour yesterday. ;-) #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:08:16 +0000 @Allikidzcontent That makes sense to launch on iOS first. But if the numbers look right to you (ROI) Android is a good bet #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:08:19 +0000 How many of you have apps on both iOS and Android? Or just iOS, or just Android? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:08:49 +0000 Hi David? How have your Android books done in comparison to iOS? Was it worth it? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:09:05 +0000 And for those of you that aren't developers, which mobile devices do you have (and use regularly)? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:09:25 +0000 RT @Allikidzcontent: Hi Karen! Hopefully launching for the Back to School weeks! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:09:29 +0000 We've produced apps on both iOS & Android. Most of the free-lance jobs my hubby gets require doing both for business apps. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:10:30 +0000 @Allikidzcontent we've found our Android sales have been roughly 5-10% of total sales, with iOS being about 90-95% #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:10:42 +0000 I surveyed colleagues last week and HANDS DOWN, Apple downloads far surpass Android and eBook for downloads for same stories. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:11:01 +0000 We don't advertise so we're not doing anything special to hit the Android market (nor the iOS market). Nook used to be higher #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:11:18 +0000 I just have IOS apps, but OCG Studios made The Artist Mortimer app for my husband for Google Play also. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:11:20 +0000 RT @DavidBFox weve found our Android sales have been roughly 5-10% of total sales, with iOS being about 90-95% #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:11:22 +0000 I'm excited about the Google Play Education this week. Have U heard? I think this will make developing kids apps + worthwhile #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:11:27 +0000 I'm hearing *a lot* more interest in Android from teachers/librarians this year, ideal to have a book on every format possible #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:11:49 +0000 @DavidBFox iPad,iPhone, kindle fire. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:00 +0000

RT @iPad_storytime: We've produced apps on iOS & Android. Most of the freelance KarenRobertson jobs we get require both for business apps. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:09 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: I just have IOS apps, but OCG Studios made The Artist Mortimer iPad_storytime app for my husband for Google Play also. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:19 +0000 But we're seeing Android slowly increasing. Highest at 10% of sales was a year ago. In DavidBFox March, closer to 5%. Maybe higher now #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:19 +0000 @KarenRobertson Did U reach a consensus on % of sales 4 each, so we can compare Allikidzcontent both? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:30 +0000 @iPad_storytime Makes sense for business apps to be on Android and iOS KarenRobertson #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:12:44 +0000 We have 1 iOS tablet, & 1 Android (Nexus) in the home. Voice recognition on the momswithapps Nexus is pretty good. Apps, not so many. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:13:05 +0000 KarenRobertson On iOS, 90%+ sales are on iPad vs iPhone as well, FYI #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:13:18 +0000 @momswithapps Is it because there just aren't that many good apps you're seeing DavidBFox on Android? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:14:23 +0000 @DavidBFox wow, that's a MAJOR difference! Do U think it's still a problem of Allikidzcontent Android users wanting everything 4 free? Or what? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:14:35 +0000 @KarenRobertson You have separate versions for iPad vs. iPhone rather than a DavidBFox universal version? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:15:02 +0000 roxiemunro @KarenRobertson right, Karen. iPad dominates over iPhone for us. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:15:09 +0000 @roxiemunro I didn't know the Mortimer app was your husbands'! My son and I Allikidzcontent liked it! #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:15:44 +0000 @Allikidzcontent I've heard that Android users are not only less likely to purchase DavidBFox apps, but even use apps! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:15:53 +0000 I wonder if Kindle Fire (which has a family-friendly price) will steer sales more equally momswithapps across platforms. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:16:26 +0000 @Allikidzcontent apparently many never even open the browser that comes on their DavidBFox Android device. It's just a phone to them #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:16:40 +0000 @Allikidzcontent thanks! It was done with OCG Studios Develop-Your-Own roxiemunro framework, which is really cool. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:05 +0000 @Allikidzcontent I keep hearing Android users expect apps for free but frankly, it's KarenRobertson anecdotal. Haven't seen hard research #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:10 +0000 So if you were to look at total numbers of Android devices out there, that's not a DavidBFox good predictor of % sales of apps #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:25 +0000 KarenRobertson @DavidBFox Mortimer is a gorgeous book app! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:30 +0000 roxiemunro I never play apps on my Kindle Fire. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:32 +0000 @iPad_storytime Why do U think teachers R more interested in Android this year? Allikidzcontent Cost of devices? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:45 +0000 RT @DavidBFox:apparently many never even open the browser that comes on their KarenRobertson Android device. Its just a phone to them #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:17:51 +0000 Also new review sites: @SmartAppsforKids now has Android: http://t.co/wEJbCV11nB & Digital-Storytime: http://t.co/UyReMEzMLA iPad_storytime #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:18:18 +0000 You have to look at customer behaviour, not just market penetration of number of KarenRobertson devices. When I put my marketing hat on... #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:18:22 +0000 roxiemunro RT @roxiemunro: I never play apps on my Kindle Fire. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:18:50 +0000 roxiemunro RT @KarenRobertson: @DavidBFox Mortimer is a gorgeous book app! #Storyappchat Apple owners are more likely to be young families, higher income level, buyers of KarenRobertson apps. So iPad owners are my primary market. #storyappchat DavidBFox @KarenRobertson Exactly! #storyappchat Also new review sites: @SmartAppsforKids now has Android: http://t.co/9wPeDznhUB & Digital-Storytime: http://t.co/3nG9y7bG2T KarenRobertson #storyappchat @Allikidzcontent More schools are getting Android, probably because of cost or iPad_storytime 'bundled' content on Kuno/Kno tablets #storyappchat roxiemunro Oops..accidentally retweeted my own ...sorry. Scrolling too fast. #Storyappchat @KarenRobertson Our apps are universal, so not sure if iPad or iPhone. Guessing DavidBFox mostly iPad. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:19:14 +0000 Mon, 27 May 2013 01:19:21 +0000 Mon, 27 May 2013 01:19:22 +0000

@iPad_storytime Carisa, do you still find your traffic is highest for Apple apps vs. KarenRobertson your Android reviews? #storyappchat roxiemunro @KarenRobertson same here, Karen. IPad families and schools.... #Storyappchat KarenRobertson @iPad_storytime Do you have an article link re: this? I'm curious! Thx #storyappchat @KarenRobertson So books sell mostly on iPad: 90%? It's logical. Guess parents use Allikidzcontent iphone 4 quick games while waiting #Storyappchat Are there any big differences in production cost for iOS vs Android apps? Other iPad_storytime hurdles for cross-platform titles? #storyappchat @iPad_storytime What's Kuno/Kno tablets? Haven't heard of them yet. DavidBFox #storyappchat I think some of these less well-known or new devices are trying to bundle apps? roxiemunro #Storyappchat @iPad_storytime If you use a cross-platform dev environment (like @CoronaLabs) DavidBFox then cost to port is minimal. #storyappchat RT @DavidBFox: @iPad_storytime If you use a cross-platform dev environment (like iPad_storytime @CoronaLabs) then cost to port is minimal. #storyappchat @iPad_storytime but if you're developing in Xcode on iOS, then probably would be a DavidBFox much bigger expense. #storyappchat @DavidBFox I'm hoping our iOS app will come out Universal: iPad- iPhone.It's a pain Allikidzcontent 4 clients if they have 2 buy them separate #Storyappchat RT @DavidBFox: @iPad_storytime If you use a cross-platform dev environment (like KarenRobertson @CoronaLabs) then cost to port is minimal. #storyappchat @DavidBFox Kuno: http://t.co/3kM7OBS5MM and Kno: http://t.co/hRsL8H42ZE - iPad_storytime these are 2 tablets our local schools have now #storyappchat @iPad_storytime What's your husband's experience in developing natively for both DavidBFox platforms? #storyappchat @DavidBFox re cross platform...do you have to compromise some features? roxiemunro #Storyappchat @Allikidzcontent Agreed... that's why we went that route. Wanted sales from both DavidBFox to count together in standings. #storyappchat @DavidBFox So then what do Android user actually use their tablets for? Navigate? Allikidzcontent Skype? #Storyappchat DavidBFox @iPad_storytime are apps bundled with the (Kuno and Kno)? #storyappchat @roxiemunro Bundle, or even offer an entire catalog for subscription, like Kindle momswithapps FreeTime http://t.co/5N47kqab6W #storyappchat @roxiemunro We didn't have to compromise in features, but then we're not using DavidBFox any hardware-specific features #storyappchat RT @davidbfox: @iPad_storytime If you use a cross-platform dev environment (like momswithapps @CoronaLabs) then cost to port is minimal. #storyappchat @Allikidzcontent Kindle Fire = movies and books? Nook = books? Android phones = DavidBFox phones? (guessing) #storyappchat Julia_Brannon roxiemunro DavidBFox iPad_storytime KarenRobertson iPad_storytime KarenRobertson roxiemunro Julia_Brannon Allikidzcontent iPad_storytime RT @Julia_Brannon: Hi Everyone! Stopping in late. Just read the feed. #storyappchat RT @momswithapps BTW,what happened to a new Android device that was supposed to come out from Isabella called Fable? #Storyappchat Welcome @Julia_Brannon! Anything to add to the discussion? #storyappchat @DavidBFox Marc says iOS & Android are fundamentally different design environments, iOS very low level/old school ... #storyappchat Hi Julie of @julia_brannon great to see you here. #storyappchat @DavidBFox ... and Android is broken up more into activities, "programlets" which scale much better as app gets bigger. #storyappchat @roxiemunro I haven't heard anything and they were heavily recruiting apps 18 months ago #storyappchat They approached us to bundle our apps w/ other (Fable) #Storyappchat @KarenRobertson Hi Karen! I haven't seen you around for a while (: #storyappchat RT @iPad_storytime: Kuno: http://t.co/X55YhHcaCQ and Kno: http://t.co/Mu0YXlZZry - these are 2 tablets our schools have #Storyappchat @DavidBFox Yes, I think so, although I haven't actually gotten to use one yet. They have them for 3rd graders at our school. #storyappchat

@Julia_Brannon We got "lifed" a bit with an ill child. Things much better now but I've KarenRobertson been out of action for 3 months. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:30:05 +0000 @roxiemunro These guys? http://t.co/60vDIe8h7o Well their last tweet was May 24 momswithapps so haven't bit dust yet. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:30:35 +0000 Julia_Brannon @KarenRobertson I'm happy you are back #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:31:05 +0000 iPad_storytime @KarenRobertson Hope your kiddo is doing better! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:31:24 +0000 momswithapps Agreed RT @julia_brannon: @KarenRobertson I'm happy you are back #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:31:47 +0000 Some sources tell me that Android is sure to be the tablet choice for schools due to Julia_Brannon cost. Is this true? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:32:14 +0000 @momswithapps Right! I guess they are having issues re product production or roxiemunro development. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:32:20 +0000 @momswithapps IMO Kindle subscriptn 4 kids content is what makes dev'ing 4 Allikidzcontent Android more attractive w/ little code adjustment #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:32:41 +0000 I have my Google Alert set for "iPads in schools" so I don't hear much about Android. Julia_Brannon #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:33:11 +0000 One interesting piece of news for Nook developers is that Nooks can now buy apps DavidBFox from Google Play. So no need to dev for Nook? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:33:34 +0000 @KarenRobertson I don't have a link about teachers asking about Android, just my iPad_storytime anecdotal exp. Interest in content seems low. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:33:49 +0000 @Julia_Brannon Thanks Everyone. Health is EVERYTHING!! Thank God all is well now.

Is related to Allikidzcontent programming language? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:34:57 +0000 roxiemunro Does seem like the iPad is the desired device for schools. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:34:59 +0000 @Julia_Brannon I'm guessing that may be the case down the road... if enough iOS DavidBFox edu devs port to Android. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:35:17 +0000 @KarenRobertson Oh, just caught your ? about traffic for iOS vs Android. I don't iPad_storytime promote Android much & traffic is much lower. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:35:27 +0000 @julia_brannon Given Google's Education Store announcement that might be momswithapps something to keep an eye on - android in schools #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:35:35 +0000 @momswithapps Can you summarize what Google's Edu Store announcement said? DavidBFox #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:36:25 +0000 @Allikidzcontent I was wondering about the IOS low level comment also, David... roxiemunro #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:36:26 +0000 RT @roxiemunro: Does seem like the iPad is the desired device for schools. KarenRobertson #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:36:31 +0000 @roxiemunro I think Fable Learn is a good companion to be bundled up with. Not Allikidzcontent detrimental at all. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:36:37 +0000 @momswithapps It's going to be very interesting to see who wins the schools in the Julia_Brannon end: iOS or Android #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:37:12 +0000 roxiemunro @Allikidzcontent but is it out yet? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:37:13 +0000 Here is a venturebeat article on topic of Google, iPads & Schools momswithapps http://t.co/KJgBng1peE #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:37:37 +0000 @Allikidzcontent Low-level means closer to the hardware vs working in abstract iPad_storytime layer. More like you would program Apple IIe #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:37:42 +0000 RT @momswithapps: Here is a venturebeat article on topic of Google, iPads & DavidBFox Schools http://t.co/xo2rkbNtOy #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:38:09 +0000 @Allikidzcontent On iOS you always deal w/ absolute pixels, on android pixels are iPad_storytime not always in a specific spot ... #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:38:42 +0000 roxiemunro @Allikidzcontent and Fable is Android... #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:38:46 +0000 @momswithapps Thanks for that link! I hadn't heard about this kids tablet yet. I Allikidzcontent wonder what OS they use? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:38:59 +0000 @iPad_storytime So from that POV, coding in @CoronaSDK is relatively hi-level. Easy DavidBFox for both iOS and Android. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:39:06 +0000

Or no? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:41:49 +0000 @momswithapps I've only seen iPads in schools so find this very interesting. Wonder KarenRobertson what the real stats are? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:42:11 +0000 @DavidBFox Sounds like @CoronaSDK lets a programmer control a lot, altho doesn't iPad_storytime have same tools for multiple screen sizes ... #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:42:35 +0000 KarenRobertson Bye everyone! I have to sign off now. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:43:11 +0000 As a mouse/keyboard user I wonder if iPads are ideal for kids to create as well as Julia_Brannon consume: Digi natives ok with touch only? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:43:12 +0000 @KarenRobertson i never guessed your child was sick! you kept all the activity going!

End year project is iBook #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:45:35 +0000 @Julia_Brannon Tablet discussion seems to be shifting to creating not consuming iPad_storytime content, can use computer to polish projects. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:46:28 +0000 @iPad_storytime that's amazing! Re only Android devices in a school. I didn't roxiemunro realize... #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:46:39 +0000 @roxiemunro This was true in both the WA & CA schools my kid has gone to ... iPad_storytime bummer for me personally, of course! #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:47:37 +0000 @momswithapps I think if Google Play Educ. can convince dev's 2 make Android Allikidzcontent version, then Yes, newcomer schools will buy Andr #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:47:54 +0000 @Allikidzcontent Initially had good Nook app sales.

One of the Julia_Brannon iPad schools lucked out on a grant. #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:51:14 +0000 My dev partners are keen on dev'ing for WP8, and other platforms they've heard are Allikidzcontent going 2 increase in year or more. #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:51:21 +0000 RT @iPad_storytime: @roxiemunro Schools say it comes down to $ - # of tablets on a roxiemunro budget gives Android advantage. makes sense #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:51:37 +0000

@allikidzcontent Schools may buy. Concern is if developers will see enough ROI to momswithapps create. Will app store be like music store #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:52:22 +0000 One drawback for Android dev is you'd need LOTS of devices for thorough testing. DavidBFox Way more than iOS... #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:52:58 +0000 Do you figure that after first year on iOS and Android, a way of keeping sales is Allikidzcontent coming out for new platforms? Or bad idea? #Storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:53:22 +0000 Has anyone used these companies that will migrate your app from iOS to Android for Julia_Brannon a fee? #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:53:54 +0000 RT @momswithapps: Here is a venturebeat article on topic of Google, iPads & TheiMums Schools http://t.co/KJgBng1peE #storyappchat Mon, 27 May 2013 01:54:40 +0000 RT @DavidBFox: One drawback for Android dev is you'd need LOTS of devices for roxiemunro thorough testing.
