I'm keeping a notes section on my phone about potentially needed ideas and have already stumbled across a few ideas for phone apps. Some even score high in 4 of the 5 C-E-N-T-S criteria:
- High Entry Barrier (an app utilizing image recognition software that would have to be learned)
- High Need (quick access to an abundance of nutritional facts about what one eats)
- Time (well, I think virtual all of the apps qualify in this area)
- Scale (any one of the millions of people conscious about their diet)
But when I consider the principle of Control, I easily see a massive hole. All of your sales would be funneled through one of a couple outlets: IPhone App Store, Google Play, etc.
I'm not married to any of these ideas. Just keeping notes on anything that runs across my mind. But were I ever consider taking an App seriously, I feel like this could be a massive hole potentially ending the viability of an otherwise great solution. Obviously many have made a fortune off of mobile apps, but is there an equally great or even greater risk with the lack of control?
Does anyone else, particularly those who have experience with them, feel like mobile apps violate the commandment of Control? And if so, is this a big enough violation to make the rewards not worth the risk?
