the only people i've ever seen that need to see a sample app are people i wish didn't get in the game because all they do is force their app to be longer and better quality than they're capable of churning out almost ever and their app is NEVER an indication of how they typically write or play a character

tbh it's the same reason i wish revisions were done away with completely aside from minor things that with a little additional information like expand on this or that or could you explain this part about their powers or you forgot your plurk name (not improvement or longer or whatever samples because you should be putting your best foot forward and trying to make a good impression the same way you do when you fill out a job application and get called in to talk to someone!).

sample apps are useless. people do whatever style they want no matter what and if they're gonna shove in gifs and giant font quotes in hopes of it looking like they know what they're talking about, they're going to do it anyway. if it says 200-1000 words, you should be able to glean how many words cover your character's personality or history adequately. if you can't do that that should ALSO be considered grounds for rejection.
