If you look through the top selling apps in the App Store, and look at those apps that have performed well historically, you get a sense that it’s the quirky and novel apps that are truly profitable.
This only makes sense. The market dictates that apps be sold cheaply, or even free. Ergo, those apps which require less development time and resources stand a higher chance of turning a profit.
Not to keep beating a dead horse, but the examples of iFart and iBeer are quite demonstrative of this principle.
It’s worth mentioning iFart in this discussion because it’s a quirky app with no real practical purpose and yet it netted its developer 40,000 dollars in just two days.
Technically speaking, it’s not a very complex product either. It’s basically just some sound files, and a menu that allows you to pick which of those sound files you want to play.
Advanced features like the timer and delay make it a bit more complex, but for the most part this is a very simple idea – simple in concept and simple to implement and produce. Despite that, it was a bestseller.
iBeer is much the same story. This app is literally just a single animation that takes advantage of the iPhone’s motion-sensitive capabilities to make it appear as if the user is drinking a beer. Nevertheless, at one point it was the third most popular app in the App Store.
Its developer is less forthcoming about his profits than the developer of iFart but we can safely assume that the profits have far outweighed the time and money that went into development.
