8 developers who revolutionized the App Store

Applications in the App Store a lot - to any, as they say, taste and budget. A lot of applications, but only some of them can say that they have something revolutionary. Very few of them, but still they are there. What kind of applications, what kind of people stood behind them - read our material.

Lauren Brihter (Loren Brichter)

Tweetie was not the first Twitter client for iOS, but has a better interface than other competitors. "Pure", a simple and intuitive application was so convincing that Twitter bought it, renamed and made its official mobile client. It appeared in Tweetie gesture familiar to us to refresh the page in iOS - pull down the screen and release. Now, this gesture has become a part of iOS, but its author is Brihter.
After Tweetie and work on Twitter Brihter returned to work independently and created the game Letterpress, won the prestigious award. Letterpress is peculiar to the attention to detail that characterizes Brihtera approach to the creation of each application.
Each new application created Brihterom, is of great interest, and this is no accident. Lauren Brihter understands the specifics of "mobile" design, and each one offers users something new and different.

Marco Arment (Marco Arment)

Creating a first Instapaper, then The Magazine, Marco Arment has become known as an innovator, promoting to the masses a new category of applications. Instapaper was unique and a bright idea at the time of its debut, and later it was copied to dozens of developers including Apple in Safari. Next Armenta application, The Magazine, was intended to replace the bulky and unwieldy Electronic versions of the journals, and was created specifically for mobile devices, such as iPhone or iPad. The success of these two applications has resulted in their sale - at different times and to different customers, but Arment remains true to his passion - programming - and its next application will be released later this year.

Steve Demeter (Steve Demeter)

In 2008, the App Store was still untested novelty. I was asked if there was an offer, but Steve Demeter was the first earned on the application he created some serious money - $ 250,000 in two months. Demeter created Trism - puzzle game in the Bejeweled style that certainly remember well the iPhone users the time. And this year should go Trism 2 - continuation of the famous hit by Steve Demeter.

Gentry Underwood (Gentry Underwood)

Unlike the first three we mentioned developers Gentry Underwood has not received from its first application, Orchestra by, what would probably like. Orchestra is quite standard in a series similar to To-Do manager, but the following product Underwood, a turning point, has become a famous Mailbox email client. Unlike other email applications, Mailbox cmdlet to create "a smartphone", and not "on the desktop client." Underwood has built the process of creating the question "Why?". Why do users need an email client that they want to get from it? Thus was born the confusion of concepts, when the mail application is received management function tasks.
Not only that, Underwood managed to create an application that has gained immense popularity among users - He also went into a small number of developers, which drew the attention of quite a different level. Underwood and his team, as we know, gained Dropbox. Underwood said that the application success was due to a focus on the user experience in its development - and it can not be underestimated.

Rizzi Silvio (Silvio Rizzi)

Swiss developer Silvio Rizzi (pictured he left) was the first to understand what should be the RSS-reader on the iPhone - and now, despite the closure of Google Reader users do not want to give up Rizzi applications - or looking in the App Store is something like. Reeder features are intuitive gesture controls, speed and one-piece design of the application. In the end, the popularity of Reeder for iPhone Rizzi forced to release a version for iPad and Mac, and with creation of Reeder for Mac Rizzi before Apple went on the way to bringing the elements of a desktop application iOS-version. That is what has brought success Reeder - great design and a single style interface for all versions of the application.

Mike Matas (Mike Matas)

Mike Matas was one of the leading developers, long before the iPhone and the mobile revolution. Founding Push Pop Press, he was already very close to developing a radically new supply in the market of electronic publications, but then his company has acquired social networking site Facebook. Perhaps these radically new things yet still appear - but this time under a different name.
The first and only application of Push Pop Press began the book Al Gore's Our Choice, telling of climate change on Earth.
Before the foundation of Push Pop Press Matas participated in the creation of Delicious Library for Mac and thermostat Nest, as he worked, and at Apple, iPhone and iPad engaging user interfaces. But whatever did Mike Matas, he always managed to create something that could interest users. That's the point.

Kevin Systrom (Kevin Systrom) and Mike Krieger (Mike Krieger)

Share photos to Instagram? Yes, it existed, but now it's hard to remember a time. SISTROM Krieger and created what is still trying to replicate other developers - whether it filters, the design or just network effects, due to which the application has entered so deeply into the lives of millions of people that they can not away refuse? Probably, and that, and another, and the third - plus the ability to be in the right place at the right time.

Phil Ryu (Phill Ryu)

Name Phil has been on the development lists is not just a couple of popular applications. No, these applications fall into the lists of the best in the App Store in recent years. One of the applications was the reader Classic, then Camera +, and then The Heist - here's a set. Ryu also had a hand in the creation of the Clear, unusual task manager, ideas that are copied many developers. All applications Phil slightly moved apart habitual frameworks, but it will never intrude on someone else's territory.
Ryu founded his own studio Impending and is currently working on its first application - there is no doubt that it will become popular, because Ryu knows how to do it.
