Considering Iâve had a small update to an existing iOS app rejected by the reviewers because the (unchanged) icon was âtoo similarâ to another app, Iâm quite amused by this.
I had my iOS Check Writer app rejected because of âspamâ. I appealed and told them I had the app in the MAS since 2017. That was enough for them to release the app.
I do understand the notion of spam in the app store, though. Each and every one of my apps have been cloned by copy cats. I remember reading Sam Rowlands had to contend with the same kind of rats as well.
Congratulations on releasing your first iOS app.
I am looking forward to seeing the next apps you will release.
Now⊠time for some bad news.
I can already predict your app will make less than 35 downloads within the next 6 months, as the minimum payout by Apple is 25âŹ, you will actually never get any money from this app.
Meaning the bottle of Champagne you will pop this evening will never be paid for by this app [joking]
Prove me wrong and I will offer you 5 hours of ASO consulting (App Store Optimization) for free.
Prove me right and I will offer you 1 hour video call (in French) to give you some tips on how to better market your app(s). (both scenarii you win)
If I were you, I would change the price of your app to âfreeâ, add a âContact meâ button and wait for someone to make some feature requests, which will eventually help you make an even better app.
And it will give you more experience for your next apps.
I have 15 Apps in the store and have pretty much made nothing from them (<$5K). Admittedly I donât market them and mainly written for fun or for the education market where I did make a good living in the early 90âs through direct marketing in Aust. Schools no longer respond to that here and the App Store is flooded with Apps. So what is a good approach to up my pocket money?
@Martin_Fitzgibbons My suggestion â raise your prices. Your software looks good, but the price suggest they are not. Also you web site looks dated. Feel free to disagree.
