13: Animated Kale

Our theme song by Jonathan Mann -- follow his Song A Day on YouTube, and check out his site if you or your company would like a catchy, fun song. Thanks for the ATP theme song, Jonathan! Casey and Marco get deluged with to-do app recommendations. The difficulty in getting people to change to a new app, but conversely, the potential success for slightly differentiated apps in an otherwise crowded market. Google I/O keynote reactions. Localizing apps to different languages. The sad state of iTunes Connect. Staged rollouts, purchase analytics, beta testing, and the different developer attitudes of Apple and Google. Why Google is consistently able to kick Apple's butt in services (and engineering?). Google Play Music All Access, Hangouts, and the new Google Maps. Apple's Objective-C to Javascript bridge. The App Store UI.
