I think, people would pay for those apps, if they would actually make some coins with them. Imagine a trading app, that takes some fees for each generated profit, or so.
Or a game, where you could win some coins, but have to pay some percentage from a win, or so.
Topic: Can we create a bitcoin mobile app store? (Read 983 times)
Go right ahead, but I can't see the value myself. Most of the bitcoin related apps I've seen are both free to download as well as host on most of the app sites for android, and you're all around screwed if you depend upon Iphones, since the Apple App Store doesn't permit anything related to bitcoins on iOS and 'failbreaking' is required to run any app not permitted by Apple. Thus, only Android apps are likely to survive and all of them can be found on the Google Play Store.
All it would do is have apps for each phone type that (I presume it could only work with unlocked phones) connected to "bitcoin" related apps. There would be user reviews and rankings and that's pretty much it.
