As of July 8, 2016, the Bob the Squirrel App will no longer be in service. I really thought long and hard about continuing it but a few factors couldn’t be ignored.
- The company I run it through was going to double the monthly charge.
- The advertising on the app wasn’t going to come close to covering the initial fee, yet alone the doubling of it.
- I wasn’t giving the Bob app nearly as much attention as it should have gotten. Running an app should be a full-time (or as near full-time) gig. Just couldn’t do it.
A one-person company only has one employee. When that employee is concentrating on creating content, the delivery of that content takes a back seat. It makes sense and it completely illogical. If I concentrated on the delivery, the content would suffer. Over the years I’ve managed to find that balance… but when the app was thrown in, the balance wasn’t as balanced.
I may come back to the Bob app in the future. But for now… it was a good run. Thank you to everyone who downloaded it!
