Any feedback or suggestion, please?

Could you tell me your opinions about it?

What is your opinion, do you think BitcoinViewer should be Open Source and/or Free in App Store?

Lol, yeah.

Yes...  :)

I am working as freelancer and need the time and effort invested to return back. That it is why the reason of 99 cents in App Store. But show me better model or idea if you have.
Give me your ideas...

Would you donate Bitcoins to support development?

Again, yes.

If I tested a program and find it useful I will donate when I am using it longer term.

Buying something first and then recognize that it does not meet my requirements is a waste of money...  ;)

I just tested QTBitcoinTrader and will continue to test it for about 1-2 weeks (so far I like it, but still need some more testing).
When I still use it after 2 weeks I will donate some BTCs to the programmer...

Have a nice day.

I am considering to make this "passive wallet" open source and as a free application in the App Store. But I would prefer to have there some paid advanced option, content or service included. Some option what could earn some money back for the hard development time spent and invested in this project. Maybe some affiliate program or some service of some kind included. Maybe some third party service. What do you think about such options?
Do you have some ideas?

Do you have some ideas about how to make BitcoinViewer free and open source and at the same time to offer some option to earn money back?

So I can make it free and open source, continue development, make improvements, fixes, new features, get new users, etc. for this software, etc. in long term?

Thanks for ideas and letting know your opinions.

I would gladly to make everybody happy.

So more users can get attracted.

And at the same time have some income from it?

PS: I would like to allow sending BTC from the app at some stage.

As you say, I think the current best iOS model is freemium apps -- give away the app for free, then offer a paid advanced version or in-app upgrade. You could collect feedback for the first few months to see what the most-requested features were (e.g. BTC send-out), then release them in a paid-for version. You could probably charge a lot more than 99c for said version. That way, you have a much bigger audience, and the people who like the biggest and best can and will pay.

Thanks BitPirate. It seems like a good idea. I will think about it and will try to compare with other options also.

I also though if eg. some integration with some exchange service and or third party API could bring the app some commision?

BitcoinViewer got a review from CoinDesk. Thank you!

That's a great idea! There's more to such an agreement than commission charging (or sharing) though; you might need to assume some sort of risk as well, particularly if you're handling API keys.
