This is just a simple post that is aimed at hopefully helping users understand the appropriate way to contact a developer and make your praises or your grievances.
Developers usually start with the hardware that they have. Most have an idea for a program that they think would be really useful for them and it kind of goes on from there
Some are Companies that try to make their apps universal. However there are so many hardware differences from phone to phone it makes it almost impossible.
Ok with all that said I have to say it really bothers me when I see people giving a dev hell because something didn't work the way it was supposed to or it didn't have a feature that the user thought it should. Most of these complaints are in app reviews. Not the place to be of any real benifit. If all you want to do is complain then please keep it off of the review list. There is a more appropriate way to get your complaints out.
First you can Email the dev. Most of them have emails or a way to contact them on their web site, that you can send your complaints to. Also don't expect that the dev actually has time to write you back, some just take the email and see what the most frequent problems are and start working on fixes for them or see what feature most people want and start working on it. Please also do not think that your complaints are going to be taken care of immediately again the dev can only do so much at one time.
Well I thank you all for your time. I hope that you will be willing to work with a dev into making their app the best it can be. After all most devs don't set out to make a crappy app. Support the dev's and they will support us.
I also want to say I am not a dev. I have played with a small bit of programming and know how hard it can be to get code to cooperate and do what it's supposed to do. So please just be respectful and remember you don't like it when people talk like crap to you so don't do it to others.
On another note. I'm not sure this was the best place to post this. However I was really not clear where something like this should go. This is for all phones and is not specific to any or anyone. Mod's Please feel free to move if necessary (of course you will anyways )
Again Thank you for your time.
