> the biggest thing was that since the start of the smart phone era, I simply haven't had a good enough idea for an app.

Doesn't matter if you do, some dodgy company in a foreign country will happily wrap your app in ads and somehow be higher in the search results than your app[1].

If it's a really good idea, someone like Zynga will simply write a polished clone and make millions off your idea while your original app still doesn't show up in the search results.[2] Or anywhere, for that matter.

[1] I wrote an app in 2012 or thereabouts and this happened to me. I don't know if it is still possible.

[2] See how well they did this with Angry Birds.
