Hey guys, What do you think about apps landing page?

I like visualizing task importance like this. But there are several reasons why I will not install this app:<p>1. The name is absolutely terrible. &quot;Task Manager To Round&quot; is nonsense to me, and I&#x27;m a native English speaker. Bad names imply poor design and lack of support.<p>2. The visualization is too simplistic. When I think about laying my tasks out with visual feedback, I expect to be able to represent the task with a photo or some kind of attachment. Your app might be capable of that, but if it is, there&#x27;s nothing on your pages that convey that.<p>3. The screenshot of the widget on your Play Store listing implies that the task bubbles are all the same size on the widget view. That completely defeats the purpose I&#x27;d have for the widget, and I consider widgets crucial for task management, so that&#x27;s a turn-off.<p>Again, these are just my impressions from your store listings. I wish you luck.

Listings in the Apple and Google app stores are slices of shelf space behind a counter not landing pages. Your company has no control over format, little control over content, and most importantly zero control over user engagement because here &quot;user&quot; means Apple&#x2F;Google&#x27;s user not yours. While your company pitches potential customers, Apple&#x2F;Google are advertising competitors right there on their [not your] page.<p>Task management is inherently complex, that&#x27;s why management is relevant. This means that users have to invest time in learning a technique. The app stores preclude dynamic presentation of your apps techniques. There&#x27;s no way I can &quot;get it&quot; from a couple of static screen shots because the nexus between circles and task management nirvana is non-obvious.<p>I think many problems stem from the AppStore business model. It makes talking directly to customers next to impossible and the approval processes and upgrade policies create friction for quick iteration based on customer feedback.<p>Good luck.
