This is the story of almost every other indie App developer with a good app idea/implementation , either you will be bought or destroyed.

You can also become Instagram, WhatsApp or one of the many other multi billion dollar companies.

Pinterest, Snapchat, Uber, Spotify, Pandora, Candy Crush etc.

We can do this all day. Many of the top tech companies we have today exist because of mobile apps.
