Scissors

There is one application I have had on sale for a while, but have never mentioned here: Scissors. It is an offspring of Montage - it uses the same interface used in rectangular shape mode. It is a simple and easy to use image crop application, for 0.99$.

When Scissors was released, there was a download spike, then a huge drop in interest as 1-star reviews started to flow in, all complaining about blurry images. I assumed it is the well known bug in the iPhone OS, and it made the application apparently useless. I decided to experiment a bit: I made it free today, and the feedback I have received since was mostly positive: the application just worked. So what could have happened?
It was so obvious. I don't know how could I miss it. People were simply unaware that you can't zoom images indefinitely. Interpolation caused blurriness, and they thought it was my application's problem.

I am going to continue giving away Scissors until Sunday. So if you are interested, it is now risk-free to try it out. I am also thinking about posting some sales numbers about the last few months. Maybe after Apple decides to approve my newest submission. (What could it be? I am going to keep it a secret till then.)

UPDATE: Well, it turns out there was a bug involved as well. The app would screw up when you tried to crop certain images, producing not blurry, but distorted results. It is now fixed, and the update is on its way.
