This week we are joined by Tammy Coron and Greg Heo. We follow up on Learning to Learn, a MacBook Pro saving a life, where Apple products are made and the math behind a 5-star rating. This week marked the 10 year anniversary of the iPhone announcement by Apple. So we asked listeners and friends to tell us what the iPhone has meant to them. We hear from Kim Ahlberg, Justin Stanley, Aaron Douglas, Peter Cook, George Stroumboulopoulos, Jaime Lopez Jr and Rich Turton. We talk about Phil Schiller's press tour on the iPhone early history as well as some recent turnaround in iPhone sales and market growth. We speculate Chris Lattner's move to Tesla. Cloud storage is mentioned. Picks: Kaleidoscope, Hyperdrive USB Hub

Mark's Notes:

// For x 5 stars, and 1 1 star, the average is:

Ave = (5x + 1) / (x + 1)

// Solve for x to get the number of 5 stars needed to achieve this Ave with 1 star:

5x + 1 = (Ave)x + Ave

(5 - Ave)x = Ave - 1

x = (Ave - 1) / (5 - Ave)

// So to get Ave = 4.75, with 1 1-star, you need:

x = 15 5 stars

// And to get Ave = 4.5, you need:

x = 7 5 stars

Greg's Version:

// Say you have one 5-star and one 1-star. What’s the average?

(1 + 5) ÷ 2 = 3 stars! // How horrible!

// Then you get another 5-star review. Your new average:

(1 + 5 + 5) ÷ 3 = 3.7 stars. // Getting better.

/* So you could just keep adding another 5 and increasing the number after the ÷ until you hit 4.5, after which the store will round you up to show FIVE STARS again.

As Mark says, 7 5-star reviews is the magic number to get back up to four and a half: */

(1 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5) ÷ 8 = 4.5

Tim's conversation with Martin Magni> How did you build it? Unity?

I wrote it from scratch in C and used the (open source) Bullet Physics library.

> Did you do all the work, art, music?

Yes. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades ;)

> What made you decide on pay what you want?

I wanted to try IAPs. But locking features down would hurt the game. Especially given its create and share functionality, which benefits from having many users contribute content. PWYW "solves" these issues and seems relatively untried in the app stores.

> We talk about devs charging decent money for their work. How has the IAP performed. Not to be to specific. Are you happy with the result?

I charge exactly what the app is worth to you, couldn't get more decent than that.

Are people paying? Some. (Thank you!) Am I making minimum wage? No. Will I survive? Yes, I'm extremely frugal.

> What cause the app to tip? Was it marketing, interviews, luck?

Would it be presumptuous of me to suggest that the quality of the game played a role? Making it free helped too.

> How long did it take? Were you working on it exclusively?

I'm a full time indie dev. I worked exclusively on the game for almost a year and a half.

> How are your other apps doing, do you have any?

My first game (in my current solo constellation) was 2015's Odd Bot Out. It's pay to play and has done better than Mekorama (so far).
