AppStori - Kickstarter for mobile applications
Mobile developers who are looking for “popular” funding for their projects have gained a new opportunity to receive money - AppStori has opened, the Kickstarter alternative for mobile applications.
In financial terms, AppStori is very similar to Kickstarter - the developer sets the desired amount of money and the deadline for the campaign, potential depositors sign and give money only if the campaign is successfully completed. Developers can also lure potential “donors” with a well-thought-out deposit incentive system, which is another characteristic feature of Kickstarter.

The main difference between AppStori and colleagues is collaboration. According to AppStori co-founder Arieh Abecassis, this favorably distinguishes the service for mobile developers from other multipurpose crowd funding platforms, such as Kickstarter or Indiegogo.
“We opened AppStori seeing the need for a market that is underdeveloped now, namely, connecting application developers and consumers at the earliest stage of the application creation process,” he explains. Developers who post their projects in AppStori can place ads on their page in search of help, beta testers volunteers and collecting opinions of people interested in the project.
“The relationship between application developers and contributors that arise during the creation of a program does not disappear at the end of the funding cycle, or when an application enters the store,” he writes. "The AppStori platform was originally designed to promote mobile applications and open them."
Developers who want to use the AppStori service are prohibited from posting projects with pornography, gambling, weapons, or other "sinful signs." In addition, the company is exploring all projects on legitimacy and real existence in order to block the scammers (last month, for example, a scammer at Kickstarter, posing as a former developer of World of Warcraft and Diablo 2, tried to raise money for a non-existent game ).
In case of successful completion of the campaign, AppStori withholds 7% of the collected money. In addition, another 2 or 3% goes Amazon Payments, through which payments are made. And it is already quite expensive by the standards of such "popular" projects.
Apart from AppStori, the crowdfunding for mobile applications in general has shown quite different results in recent months. So, in April, Camouflaj + Logan developer raised $ 550,000 for an AAA iOS game République. On the other hand, the game Robota: Vengeance from SiXiTS, despite a good start, collected only about 25,000 of the required 100,000. Apparently the name let us down.
UPDATE : As commented telegamochka correctly noted, the user needs to have a US bank account.
