Data Shows What Everyone Knows: Gimmicky Apps Aren’t Used Frequently [IPhone Apps]

Think about how many times you use gimmicky apps—fart generators, zit poppers—past the first few days after you downloaded them. Now think about news and social networking ones. Big difference, right?

This study by Flurry Inc. shows that news apps are used and retained the most past a 90 day period after purchase, followed up by social networking, book apps, health and weather, and finally, games. Last on the list is Lifestyle, which are those gimmicky apps that you try out once or twice and then delete.

Super obvious, and actually useful if you're trying to make an app for any of the numerous app marketplaces now. If you're making a subscription app, you don't want to make it gimmicky. But if it's a buy-once sort of thing, gimmicky apps will do fine—your customers already paid, so who cares how many times they use it, right? [GigaOm]

iPhone graced with HTC’s Sense UI theme, beauty ensues

Sure, Taiwanese HTC Magic owners might be happy today, being promised Hero’s Sense UI via official channels, but thanks to the hard work from Redmond Pie deviantART member Justflikwalk, this very stylish skin has jumped species and landed on the iPhone. A jailbreak is required, but once past that hurdle, you’ll get a new home page with the ever-so-classy time and weather widget — which isn’t always 73 degrees and sunny, we might add — a quick launcher for apps / contacts, and of course some modified icons. All pertinent files for the theme and step-by-step instructions are available via the read. Care to gaze upon the awesomeness using the power of moving pictures? Video after the break.

[Thanks, David]
