I'm in no position to advise on the cost of a Tinder-like app - having never used it myself. I can however share some thoughts on Freemium. Freemium is too often engaged because it is easy - not because it is right for the business. You'll still need to determine how'll you make money, even wi...
Simple answer. Wait. Happy to discuss this in more detail in a call if you feel that there might be circumstances beyond the actual user experience that might compel a pre-mature launch, but generally speaking, the app should be in a state of polish prior to app store review. Use Hockey App or...
I'd definitely go with something like LaunchRock. It will let you set up this page in minutes. You'll want to test your core hypothesis, namely that the value you think the app will provide is actually needed. As far as how long you wait, I think the general purpose of a landing page like this ...
Pre-orders are always great for testing demand, eliciting end-user feedback and even generating a little revenue! You just have to be sure that you can fulfill whatever product or service the customer is paying for, beta or otherwise. Relative to b2b vs. b2c, I can't really speak to that based on...
B2C apps typically use a freemium model to make money off of in-app purchases and ad revenue. You could also make a paid monthly subscription model work in several categories, such as Newsstand.

YOU ARE ASKING THE WRONG DAMN QUESTION.... Who cares if anyone here thinks you can make it. Do you think you can make it? More importantly -- do you have the guts to create something that is memorable in a space that has seen enough start-ups angling for consumer attention. Fair enough?
Ultimately, it depends on the value the app has for the buyer (not how much money you put into developing it). Unfortunately there are many reasons for a buyer to purchase an app and so there are many ways to value an app (a multiple of yearly revenues,number of active users, etc.) . A good solut...
You can do this by using a server backend such as Parse. They have a free SDK. There are other similar options and I believe apple is rolling out the same thing in iOS 8 with CloudKit.
Wow, this is sort of the penultimate question. I answer this not as a founder, but as a co-founder that watched several other founders and investors wrestle with this dilemma. I've seen the pattern repeat as a consultant as well. It's an issue! The problem with this common situation, is all abou...
There's no "reliable" way to do this, as you're interacting with one or more shippers. After shipping physical product around the world since... 2003... every shipper only gives ballpark windows of when they can complete a delivery. Using Amazon FBA will likely provide fastest delivery times.
