APPEAL: Will Michael Quach PLEASE stop making Android apps

There is a man called Michael Quach. He likes to make Android applications. We have featured some of his apps on the site before – and have not been very complimentary about them.

Today alone, Michael Quach has released Brain & Nerves, Bones, Joints & Muscles and the ever-predictable USA Facts to the Android Market, bringing the Michael Quach app collection up to nearly 90 separate apps. Apps like this:

That’s the Michael Quach style – a collection of tedious facts based around one very narrow theme, placed upon a colourful background. That’s what he does. THAT’S ALL HE DOES!

What is Michael Quach’s “game plan” for this endless spamming of the Android Market? To eventually start charging for an app? To make a living out of the ads? To just give himself something to do? To get offered a job by an encyclopedia company? And we have NEVER heard the term “spongle”.

Please stop, Michael. You’ve already proved your mastery of putting words on colourful backgrounds. There’s no one better or more prolific at doing this alive today.

ALSO BY MICHAEL QUACH:

- Beauty Tips

- Sex Facts

- Mohandas Gandhi Quotes

- Australian Slang

- British Slang

- Mouth & Teeth

- Ear, Nose & Throat

- And many, many more!

    I’m inclined to agree – 90 painfully dull applications is a bit over the top.

    I suspect he’s thrown himself into app development as some sort of “crutch” for something that’s missing in his life.

    Google has ditched developers and apps for spamming the market before, some folks may remember the ‘developer’ going by the name of SapphireApps? They released hundreds of apps to the market, the majority of which primarily featured scantily clad Japanese women. You couldn’t run a search without having at least a handful of these pop up in the results somewhere. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against scantily clad Japanese women, but I don’t want them popping up when I’m looking for a pdf app……Ok, so maybe I do, but that’s not the point damnit!

    I second this motion. He is milking the android publishing system for ads – for every one of his 90 apps he does an update on a weekly basis thereby harvesting new users from the order by date tab. It is just noise and it is a disgusting scheme.

    Try more like 120 “apps” now. Won’t respond to emails either. What a jerk.

    I just published an update to one of my apps, Real Estate Droid, and within 10 minutes, 6 of his apps were above mine on the overall app “just in” page. Boggles the mind.

    This guy is actually getting quite a few downloads, I think there is a method to his madness. You figure even if he makes 1 dollar a day on ads per app * 90 apps = 90/day over 30k a year for definitions and quotes. He is going with the brute force approach.

    I agree his “apps” are complete nonsense. He needs a new hobby from what i make of it. Why anyone would even bother with his apps after one download is beyond me. Uninstall and don’t look back. In the future if you see “Micheal Quach” in the market, roll your eyes and keep scrolling down.

    I agree! His apps are CRAP! But why are people rating his apps 4 & 5 stars? He releases about 5-6 apps a day. He recently changed his Android Market name to “Pretty Girls” or something like that. Same crap, different name.

    Mel, I suspect you are “spongled” out of your mind…
