Hey Everyone, @bradmahler and I created OMW and we're around to answer any questions.
We'll continue to focus on our vision of making OMW the easiest way to share your ETA with friends and get the phone out of the way. For the next release we’re working toward creating and sharing routes in a single tap.
The technology behind OMW is ideal for any business that delivers. The app and web viewer can be customized on a short timeline, and we’re currently reaching out to companies we believe would be a good fit. Eventually we plan on releasing an OMW SDK so app developers can seamlessly integrate this experience into their own apps.
We would love to hear what you think of OMW if you get a chance to try it out.
I'm so pumped on this idea.
What are your plans for the future?
And thoughts on App Store pricing? Are there ways to get above the $0.99 cheapo limits with OMW?
@imcatnoone I get why it's $0.99 instead of $1.00 - but I hate that the value of mobile apps has been driven so low across the board.
It should be easier for a business to survive off of app sales reliably without being the one big winner in its category. Maybe that's possible for many apps currently, just a bit hard to believe any business could survive on essentially $0.69/customer (one-off, not recurring), factoring in Apple's cut.
I know as a SaaS, it's incredibly difficult to operate and grow unless charging an average of well over $10/month. Sweet spot being around $50 - $100+/mo. (Ignoring funded companies that aren't focused currently on profitability)
@marktholking Well I liked having the ability to save common/frequent trips so I didn't have to look up a location or a specific person. For instance, when picking the kids up from the sitter.
