:(



OP's comment may have been harsh, but it's accurate, and you should take it as constructive - you may have a really cool and useful product here, but no one knows about it at first glance. Make your landing page a bit more transparent as to the app's purpose and functionality, and you'll get more positive interest. Don't be sad!


Simple fix: at least place your iTunes description:

"Cloak scrapes Instagram and Foursquare to let you know where all your friends, "friends," and nonfriends are at all times so you never have to run into that special someone. Think of it as the antisocial network."


No judgement on the product itself; I actually find the concept interesting, but I feel that linking directly to the itunes page itself would be more effective.


(To be fair, you did start your comment pretty harshly: I doubt this is the worst product site you've ever seen.)


I can't think of a specific one that comes to mind, but I guess anything fresh in memory will be more likely to tend towards an absolute. As it is, I've revised my comment a few times to be more fair, and have now changed that line.


It's the worst one I've seen. A blank page would be only slightly less informative.
