Sales stats update - 5 or 6 months on the app store - Apologies for the radio silence on sales stats for our app, but to be fair, there hasn't been much spark! After the US App Store feature, it was a sliding game down the charts, but still, we average about 10-30 copies daily. We excitedly crossed the 25,000 download mark recently. Oh, and there's a chart you can find below with more deets. A Dutch website brought a brief sales soar, but that's died down now. All told, we've clocked in 25591 paid and 8436 free downloads, the latter gaining a brief spotlight during a celebratory two-week freebie phase. Sure seems free is popular! But, I feel content knowing we've lots of, hopefully, pleased customers!

Sales stats update - Two months on the app store - Another month on the App Store, fellas! Even though our little app met some bumps here and there, it still managed to get quite the spotlight in Europe's 'What we're playing' section, grossing up to 200 daily sales in the UK, 300 globally. Took a hit when we dropped from the featured list, but that was expected, right? Thankfully, other countries picked up the slack! Brought in a new icon and broke into the US market, making a splash in their 'New and Noteworthy' section. Seems like being on the front page or featured list really makes a difference! Despite a distinct peak in US sales, no other plot-twisting moments. Oh, and for all the high rollers out there, the yacht's still a bit off, I reckon. But we're hopeful. Feel like catching a glimpse into the numbers? Got questions or just want to chat? Give us a shout! Now, back to work. Next update coming your way soon!

iAds Report - In this post, I'm sharing performance stats from a free Heart Rate app which has been live for just over two weeks, and has been downloaded around 40k-50k times worldwide. It was categorized under Entertainment instead of Health and Fitness which may have affected downloads and advertising revenue. It's been relatively successful and was built with iAds and AdMob adverts. Revenue generated from the US was substantial with fill rates at nearly 50% and an amazing eCPM of almost $30, compared to Admob's $2.2. Despite the revenue's rapid decline correlating with downloads, I believe there may be a strong case for ads in apps.

Shoot3D for the iPad/iPhone - I'm thrilled to have introduced my first 3D game on the app store. The entire process served as a real learning curve, with some elements still appearing obscure, yet adding to the intrigue. The games section of the app store is known for its fierce competition, but challenging the status quo by doing something different from the regular utility apps is quite a welcome change. I'm generally proud of how the game has turned out and look forward to its reception. You can download the game on the app store.
