TECHi's Take
For iOS app producer David Barnard, making money from paid applications in Apple’s App Store is becoming more difficult. Barnard is the founder of Contrast (previously App Cubby), which makes apps such as Launch Center Pro [iTunes link] and Perfect Weather [iTunes link].
Perfect Weather, Contrast’s latest app, was timed around the release of iOS 7. The app was featured in a number of iOS 7 app lists (including ours) and managed to reach #6 on the Paid Apps rank in the U.S. App Store, quite a feat in the competitive world of app rankings.
