I'd do another site if it were me for American sports and leave the football as it is since it's doing so well.
Is this something you could fairly easily transfer to other sports? Seems like adding something like basketball or American football could help increase revenue and attract a new market. Might be easier said that done…
Agree with this. At the very least i'd say you need a 'How it works' or something similar on the landing page and to drop the Gmail email as your contact email.
I don't do this as much as I should, but one thing I did that helped a bit was have a wesbite for the app so if people are searching Google they can find out about the app. It doesn't make huge differences in my case,…
I think this is good advice. Potentially it's possible to monetize it and use it as a playground too though. I've tried both and I think you learn different things from each, both very useful though.
Congratulations on the success of the app! When i've been in similar situations i've tried to look forward and not back. By that I mean, if it's getting a lot of downloads then let the people who have already downloaded…
In my experience, once you get something out there and see even a small number of people enjoying it, it's pretty hard not to be motivated by it!
It's a utility app. I think that if you build something people will get some use out of, and make it look (and be) easy to use then you should get a fairly recurring revenue. A lot of the smaller apps look bad, so i…
I have a small iPhone app that generates around 200 a month. Nothing spectacular but not bad for a bit extra.
Also looking forward to seeing it. Interesting and great area to be trying to break in to. Good luck!
I'd definitely be interested in reading a blog post on that. Good work with the release!
Personally, i'd go with Objective C but it doesn't hurt to know both! In the end though, it won't make much difference at this stage, just get your head around the platform with whatever you feel more comfortable with…
No problem. Good luck. I'm going to sign up at some point soon and will keep my eye on it.
It's hard to tell with only 20 downloads. Some people will just download it and not use it, it just happens sometimes. Is it a free app or paid for? If it's free then this will happen more often. I'd suggest finding out…
Agree with allowing browsing before signing up. Looks great though. Well done and good luck!
If you can, do both. If it's just to learn though, i'd do whatever has the lowest barrier to entry for you. Which phone do you have yourself? Make it for that. Good luck!
Definitely worth doing. I've noticed in some of my apps where i haven't had this as an option that people really drop off after downloading, but if people have the option to play without signing up they usually at least…
Congratulations on making something from start to finish. Hopefully it's the first of many. Since you're rewriting it anyway, i'd consider moving away from Access if I were you.
This is a great idea, i'd more interested reading about someones experience with a similar budget to me that something that might have more (or less) limits that i'll have. In a similar way, mentioning if the trip is an…
Looks really good. I might be missing it, but i think it would be a good idea to have a filter (or search) for region on the main page. I might not be interested in travel in general, but interesting in visiting a…
I have an app that floats around the top 200 in the travel section but it doesn't really bring in much (i'm only using iAD and not charging for the app). I guess the travel section is probably a little easier to crack…
Perhaps. I think Parse has done well under Facebook. I hope Flurry does under Yahoo too.
It's implied at first glance that it's for testing your password though. Most people wouldn't even know the mistake they've made and are probably sending the results link on too.
Sky guide looks great. Hadn't heard of it before but can't wait to download and give it a try tonight. Anyone else using it?
It's tough, but eventually it should pay off and once it does then you should be able to focus your efforts on stopping it happening in the first place. I've always found it's a good idea to keep in touch from the start…
