in development

a slightly irritated rant

My music-creation app Quencher is currently available on Google Play. However, I’d heard that Amazon’s App Store would be a good place for a tablet app, so I went ahead and made a developer account, gave them my tax information and bank details and so on. As I was trying to create the actual application listing, I came across this little gem.

Yeah, it’s a required field. Now, I understand that phone support is a nicety, and I’m not opposed to talking with customers. The problem is that I’d rather not give out my personal phone number, and a second phone line really isn’t possible right now. Well, no big deal; I’m sure we can resolve this peaceably. I’ll just give their developer support line a call.

Ah-ha. Thanks, Amazon!
