Bizarro iPhone Apps: iLolCats Updates

iLolCats

Here is the *full* (unabridged) App Store description for iLolCats Updates:

This application contains different kind of funny cat pictures and there description.

That ‘s it.  Are they playing hard to get or something?  Hoping we ‘ll be intrigued by the lack of any real detail?  In fact, the only detail that jumps off that page for me is $4.99.

$4.99 for an app that boasts a one line description (which manages to fit in a misuse of the word ‘there ‘), and promises to deliver some of the very same stuff we can easily get from several web-sites for right around $4.99 less (Google “ lolcats).

Am I missing a brilliant (subliminal) marketing strategy of some kind here?

    It's got a pic of a cat with a wig. Who needs more information than that???

    ArcAngelmd – I think while it's priced at the $5 mark, in area where there are plenty of totally free resources, it might want to expand on that a bit – not that it will likely help much if the app doesn't find a way to offer more …
