Yes, we knew it would be a bit confusing! But we didn't hesitate to take this minor risk!
We had already started to communicate on this name and we like it so much that it was too difficult to abandon it totally.
So the "zzZ" nickname will be a kind of "cute heritage" ! 😉

In reply to Nicolas. I think it's a good change - much simpler and more obvious what its purpose is. Also think it is a little confusing seeing it referred to as zzZ within the description area. Just my 02.

About the name, at the begining the app's name was "zzZ" but we realised that maybe this name would'nt be enough clear for the guy looking at a hotel booking app oin the appstore. it could have be a game, an app to fall asleep :)), etc… That's why we didn't wanted to take the risk, so we changed the app's name to "Hotel !" which can't be more clear, and has also the advantage to make pop us at the top of the list when searching for "hotel" !
But we'll continue to call the app "zzZ", it is its little nickname now !

In reply to patrickj. Yeah I'm sure they will. I will probably use mine until I release the app on the store. I'll probably update it or redo it then.

In reply to Nicolas. My pleasure - and congrats on making it to the App Store! Did the app name change to 'Hotel'?

In reply to jerols. I agree it's a win-win. Hopefully the demos continue to be used for general promo and marketing for the app as well.

I'm really thankful to Appsfire for these awards. Its a win-win: consumers get to see the best upcoming apps and developers get "free" attention. I put free in quotes because 8 or 10 hours of demo-building time does have quite a bit of opportunity cost for iPhone developers. Anyhow, I think it will pay off in the end.
