Have you ever encountered issues while downloading apps onto your iPhone, I ran into an error while downloading apps onto my iPhone today that I haven’t experienced before. After selecting an app to download, the app would be stuck with a grayed out icon and a “Waiting…” status. How to fix your app downloads stuck in “Waiting…”, Thanks to the power of twitter, @TheChrisBayliss said to “respring your Springboard”. For jailbroken iPhone users, this means going to SBSettings and doing a respring. Of course, after my quick respring, the apps stuck in “Waiting…” had disappeared. For regular iPhone users, turning off/on your iPhone should do the trick. Went to itunes and downloaded the update for the app. Connected my iphone to my computer and sync my iphone so the app was updated on my iphone. But the “waiting…” grayed out box was still there and the updated app was not, so I opened up App Store on my iphone. Closed App Store and the “Waiting…” grayed out box was gone and replaced with the updated application.

Does it make people laugh, This is a no-brainer. What happens with funny apps, They get shared — a lot. Are you building a better wheel, Are there existing successful apps that lack important features or design elements, This is tricky because those developers might already be working on such enhancements. But if you get to market first, you have a good shot. Will the app be highly interactive, Let’s face it: most of us have the attention span of a flea. Successful games and utilities engage the user by requiring a lot of fast-paced interaction. Action item: Have your idea evaluated.
