About 9 months. But our only costs are an Apple Developer License, and a Business license for the LLC. We're not considering our time to be paid, since we have day jobs. http://gif-wallet.com

We can almost split a top ramen a day (assuming 4 for a dollar).

If you take a Taco Bell hot sauce and put it on Top Ramen, it tastes exactly like poverty.

About 4 month, wouldn't say its ramen profitable but it cover the cost of Apple Developer License and Business license for sole proprietorship.

It is earning $0.9 per day on average since day 1.

Well this thread isn't boding well for iOS apps.
It has been about 9 months without making any money. The app also doesn't have a monetization strategy yet (focusing on making an awesome product first), so that makes sense. There has been a large uptick in organic traffic recently (without any PR or paid advertising), so monetization may be in the immediate future.

Still can't buy ramen.

My consulting practice became ramen profitable after 2 weeks.
