PCWorld put together a list of 20 cool iPhone apps today, and my program RemindYou made the cut!

“The concept behind RemindYou is remarkably simple — essentially, its goal is to make sure you never miss another appointment ever again. And how does it do this, you ask? Well, by syncing up with iCal, Outlook, or Entourage and then overlaying a graphic of all your appointments over the iPhone start-up picture. Thus, instead of seeing a picture of the Earth from space as your default start-up screen each time you unlock your iPhone, you’ll see a list of all your appointments. RemindYou can be purchased from the iPhone 2.0 App Store for $19.95 for a lifetime license.”
The only thing is that they are saying RemindYou is in the AppStore, but it is actually only for Jailbroken devices, and is available within Installer.app. (I wish Apple would let us in the AppStore, but no luck since it needs a background process that runs every 15 minutes to keep the info up-to-date)
Even with that typo, I love the press and I am glad others enjoy this tool as much as I do.

Any chance you’ll be converting the MobileRSS app to “app store” friendly? The RSS readers in the store now are atrocious.

To be honest with you, I don’t know yet…
I too have heard a lot of complaining about what is offered now, but at the same time because I have been working on other projects, I am kind of behind the game in that app group.
The main thing is if I have the free time to do it that would allow for a good app to be produced and in a short amount of time.
Programs that bring in income have to take priority for me because people are paying for them, and more importantly they put food on the table for my family.
If I was to charge for mobile rss then I could justify it more, however I don’t think that would go over very well on the store right now,
Everyone seems to be freaking out if there is a non-free app that has a free counter part (even if the paid one is better)
This isn’t a no to your question, its simply like I said, a I don’t know.
