If you released one then the other, could you release sooner?

If yes, then I would release sooner.

Yes, we're fine tuning the social part so we could be ready at half February to submit it to the App Store. To develop the market place in all of his part could mean several months.

And would you warn already that there will be a marketplace?

Thanks for your reply

I wouldn't warn people. As long as, when the marketplace, arrives it is something your existing userbase can "ignore" (if they wish) then they shouldn't need a warning.

I guess it depends on if the marketplace is a "value-add" to your existing userbase or a detriment.

I guess "warn" is not the correct word I wanted to use, sorry.

Btw, users will be able to ignore the marketplace, I mean, they can always use the app to share, browse, make connection and everything, for free. The market will be a "plus value" (and our way to take revenues), if they want they'll be able to buy and sell.

Let's say I'm not sure if I should say

1 - "Have fun sharing and browsing!" and then come up when we're ready with "hey! now you can sell and buy!"

or

2 - "Have fun sharing and browsing! Soon you'll be able to sell and buy as well!"
