Having released my first app at the end of October, I can confirm building the app is at the highest "only 50%". Having had very little interest for it. (less than 10 buys) I now fully understand marketing has a much larger role than a developer like me would have liked. 2012, I will learn iOS, yet I will also learn marketing. My first app was created with Titanium too, yet I feel it is important to learn iOS.


Maybe you could tell us what your app is? I tried looking to your blog without success. If I'd have found it you might have made another sale.


The name is "wordpoke". http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpoke/id471756627

I use the app every day as I built it for me first, the internet second.

A blog post is in draft, waiting the "first update" as its all part of the learning curve I wanted to cover in my journey into iOS development.

A new update to the app will be arriving within 10 days, Apple willing. ( It was interesting to learn how to tackle upgrades to the database. )

Issues can be reported and progress can be viewed: https://github.com/freshteapot/wordpoke/issues

New features are not on that list.

The webpage for "wordpoke" is http://wordpoke.me

On the way to work, I realised I should and now will add it to my profile.


Just a thought - the screenshots look really great, but you will definitely want to write a much longer app description. I would NEVER buy the app based on that description alone since it is $3 and I don't even fully understand what it's for. Why would I want to be reminded of certain words? Is it like a flashcard app?
