Appetissimo is community-driven crowdfunded blockchain-powered mobile apps and games development platform that fills the gap between developers, product managers and end-users and starts a new era of effective product-management and early development funding that brings highest user satisfaction.
“Serve your product with features users want and pay for!”
After
15+ years of software development,
2,000,000+ apps installations and
30,000+ end-user app reviews, we’re ready to introduce
Appetissimo, a community-driven crowdfunded blockchain-powered mobile apps and games development platform that fills the gap between developers, product managers and end users and starts a new era of effective product management and early development funding that brings highest user satisfaction.
Appetissimo tokens will be used to help mobile apps and games product teams be extremely efficient and get early user feedback on upcoming features right in end user apps and games, prioritize roadmap paths and crowdfund feature-focused development, which will result in high-quality products and lower prices for end users.
Appetissimo crowdsale and
Appetissimo token issuance will help fund marketing and branding of the platform and the development of smart contract technology within the platform using the Ethereum blockchain.

Problems and SolutionProblems for UsersThere is
no effective way for users to help developers and product managers prioritize roadmap paths or ask for unimplemented features. Users share their reviews and feedback in Google Play and App Store (since recently), discuss it in the forums or try other apps if disillusioned with those in use. Psychologically, most users write reviews when they are extremely happy or unhappy, meaning that
90% of users do not write reviews. Users are
not ready to work together with product teams in order to resolve problems.
Problems for Product TeamsThere is no way for product managers to effectively get users’ feedback. Thinking about what makes sense to users and what priorities are necessary for roadmap paths, product managers use combinations of approaches. They have to analyze Google Play reviews, discussion forums and YouTube comments that provide a lot of
irrelevant/obsolete, unfiltered and unstructured data. This can lead to mismanagement when unwanted features are implemented and wanted ones are not implemented or implemented not in the way users want. In small teams, developers frequently act as product managers, meaning that they use their
subjective experience and small focus groups in order to identify requirements and gather user feedback.
Solution1. The Product Team publishes upcoming features list and gives all significant details (funding campaign dates, funding goals, pledge amounts, upcoming feature screenshots, videos, etc.) by embedding
Appetissimo SDK in their end user product (app/game).
2. Users prioritize features to be implemented by voting and crowdfunding with
Appetissimo tokens right in end user product.
3. After a funding campaign succeeds, the Product Team optionally receives a prepayment and implements a feature. If the funding campaign fails, users get their money back.
4. Users optionally confirm that the feature is implemented as expected or get their money back if there is no confirmation of such expected feature implementation.
5. After receiving confirmation, the campaign is successfully completed and the Product Team receives full payment.
Users1. get app features (in-game artefacts/bonuses/rewards) they really want to have and are ready to pay for;
2. feel free to assist the Product Team in prioritizing upcoming features right in end-user products;
3. have no risk of losing money thanks to Ethereum smart contract (Kickstarter lessons learnt);
4. can monitor team development/financial history and expenses (thanks to blockchain transparency).
The Product Team1. is driven by users and correct decisions on every roadmap crossroad;
2. can be funded by users in advance (early funding);
3. does not have to wait for payment up to 60 days like in Google Play and App Store.
The TeamWe have great and relevant experience to finish what we've started.
