Ask HN: My app makes around $30,000 per year. Would anyone like to buy it?
I'm interested in branching out into other areas, and the app is growing too big for one person to manage. Most of the revenue is on Android right now - the iOS counterpart does not make very much in comparison (maybe $500 per month). The app should also be taken to the web as well, but I don't have the resources to build the webapp right now.
It's a small business focused app with a large userbase already. I currently have around $15,000 per year in subscriptions that are expected to renew for 2015. Around $850 per month come from monthly subscriptions, while around $400 per month come from new yearly subscribers. There is also a one-time purchase option that is more expensive, which earns around $13,000 per year.
If anyone is interested in purchasing, I can share App Annie statistics on both Android and iOS. I'm looking to move quickly on a sale to help out with some personal finances. It's hard to sell it, but I think it will allow me to focus on other areas a bit better.

How does it compare to some of the competitors: http://www.flurry.com/ or http://www.localytics.com/ or http://www.mixpanel.com/ or http://www.upsight.com/?
"It's hard to sell it, but I think it will allow me to focus on other areas a bit better."
What do you plan to work on next?
That said, I do wish that more info was provided that the fact that the app is in the "business" category. Quickbooks, Appointment Reminder, and proposal generating software are all "business" apps, but very different.
Any thoughts why iOS version didn't take off?
