To me, this was the point of the post: You see, the app, and more broadly Holler in general, can never possibly meet our expectations. We have spent months dreaming about the immense value we could bring to peoples’ lives with our product.
The reality is that it is only the users that will be able to tell us what value we can bring though. That’s why we decided to launch.
So even though the app wasn't perfect, not just incomplete but actually buggy, it was still usable enough to start getting feedback from users. Of course there's a line somewhere, if the app crashes for everyone you aren't going to get useful feedback. But if it mostly works and crashes occasionally, you probably will.

"Because this is the first iPhone app I ever built, after taking a 6 week class on iPhone development in Atlanta".
You could have just said that, and people would have nodded and said "good on you". The rest of this post actually sapped your credibility.
I dont think that would have made for a good blog post.
Agreed :)
If that was the point of the post that's what I would have written.
Oh. Why did you release buggy software then? I assumed the point of the post was the answer to the question posed in the title. Sorry.

It wasn't because I had just learned ios development. It was because we wanted to get feedback.
