Totally agree that being featured is not something you can count on. I was shocked myself to find it on the featured list one morning. I just wanted to share some of my figures, and point out that there is potential out there. We hear a lot of iphone success stories, but not a lot of Android ones.
And I am thankful for that. Just pointing out the difference between regular ol' success story and "we got featured" success story.
I didn't get featured on iPhone store and I make half as much. Keeping the crucial difference in mind I can be confident that Android is not worth my time (yet).
Were you also the first to do a car locator app on android? It seems there are quite a few on iPhone already and I'm just wondering how much of a "first mover" advantage you may have had, if any?
There definitely were other car locator apps on the market while I was making one, so there was no first mover advantage. I've also seen a few more car locator apps popup after I released mine. So I'm somewhere in the middle.
