>We had to launch it as a web app because Apple said an app that encourages you to use other apps or your phone less is not appropriate for the app store.
Really? That's the sort of app I'd pay for. Ideally, I'd spend less time on my phone, and more time on my (apple) computer.
Pretty shortsighted of apple.
Product feedback: I don't really know what it does, or how it does it. I accessed this on a computer, so I couldn't preview.
Just got my ipad, so I had a look. Interesting idea. I actually switched to launching all apps via spotlight typed commands though, so I don't think I can use it. The spotlight method did reduce a lot of impulse use though.
Good new! You can! We use Stripe. I'm sure our conversion rate is a lot lower than if we were in the app store. But it's still possible for people who love it to help us keep working on it.
Do you usually access your problem app though spotlight?
If so, you could try creating a space icon linked to your problem app and give the space icon a name that will cause it to appear above your problem app in spotlight results, then search for it in spotlight a few times and see if you can get the space icon to appear in Top Hits when searched.
The principle behind all of this is to get the space icon to appear in your app launch flow where the icon of your problem app used to.
