Take a look at our side project Switchboard: easy A/B testing for mobile

https://github.com/KeepSafe/Switchboard It's open source

My co-founder Philipp is talking about this project at next week's Silicon Valley iOS Dev Meetup http://www.meetup.com/sviphone/events/38752252/

Applying versioning to laws is a fantastic idea, if only to make an easily accessible account of legislation's evolution.

About KeepSafe

KeepSafe gives you control over who sees what on your phone. You choose what is public, what is private, what can be shared and for how long. Your content and your privacy should be under your control. KeepSafe is the place and the tool you use to store and lock your stuff. Our apps let you control your pictures and text messages. Over 3m users on Android and iPhone use this.

That's interesting! It shows up for me for that search (that's why we included it). Are you also using the US app store?

The particular picture problem? I used to work as a PM and constantly took pictures of whiteboards and would show them to co-workers later. When I would swipe through these, there would always be pictures from my private life. I needed more control over this...

At the very beginning we got feedback from the comments on the Android Market but we were always very open with our support email address (it's in our store description), so we could talk with our users directly.

Right now, users register with their email the first time they open the app.

It took us about 10 months to get there. I don't have a graph handy but it was pretty linear from month 4 onwards. Before that, we had an accelerating curve because we started at 0 and slowly improved our ratings as more users started liking us.

This little app is a beta that my co-founder and I built. Please give it a spin and let me know your thoughts.
