Probably one of my biggest pet peeves on the app store is a severe lack of app update description. As a developer, I tend to look at each app update to see how other devs (or marketing group) are telling their users “what’s new!” I used to just to the ol’ “Update All”, but the more I use an app the more I want to know if new features are getting stuffed into the app. I’m sure we want to get the most of our free or 99c apps.
I try and provide my users with the most detail on an update as I can. Minor Enhancement? Here is a list of most or all of the bugs that I’ve found based on feedback and testing! Major revision? Here’s a solid laundry list of what you can expect out of the enhancements! Of course, the list that I give to our business lead doesn’t always match word for word what ends up in the app store. But I try.
Camera+ on the other had does a great job with both their app and their app updates. They even throw in whimsical little icons!
