Has anyone noticed that we haven’t really heard of a new app in awhile? I feel like the last time I heard about an app on the news or on Reddit(in the past) in a long time. The last big one I heard of was the Threads app.

Where are the apps? I haven’t downloaded a new app since I got Boost for Lemmy.

    Yeah. It’s saturated, so it’s much harder to succeed now than it was 10 years ago. Gone are the days when large numbers of people were impulse-buying everything just because it was there and it was only $0.99.

    I guess that’s why there’s not much middle ground between free/libre apps and heavily monetized subscriptions and microtransactions.
