Worried about App Size

If i add about 70 small images in my app, will it make the app a heavy download? the images are going to be in html documents

Hi. Depends what you mean by heavy, as long as it is under 25mb (I think) you can download over cellular on iOS. You can always take an average size, multiple by 70 and see what mb size you come up with. A basic app with unneeded files removed can come in around 3-6mb in size.

I built an app for a client that had 500mb of video loaded in the build (not streamed). And even at $1.99, it didn't seem to scare off any customers.

if you don't use buzztotch mida file or video simples or icons and pic that added to your source code when you download it you can low your app size by delete them .

True that. One of my guilty pleasures always requires a wifi update and no cellular. It's the Batman Arkham game. Yes, I am in my 30's!

FYI, apple just upped the over the air download to 50mb. You should be fine.
