Congratulations. Care sharing how much marketing you did? Yet another data point that fun wins. Especially if you have a polished UI.
I'm convinced that most people looking in the App Store are not looking for productivity apps. They have enough of that in their day jobs with Excel and Outlook and what not. Your app hits the mark, in more ways than one.
Posting here is the closest thing I've done to marketing. I honestly didn't expect too much interest, but my 5 and 7 year olds thought it was fun so I put it up.
I'll be really surprise if the numbers hold, but it's already a success to me. I definitely like the instant gratification aspect. I have a few websites that make money and none of them were able to give ROI as quickly as this silly thing.
I have a friend that has written a few apps and we've often jokes that the target market is 13-17 year old boys.
Charles, you must be way new. A post can either be a URL or a comment. That's it. I commented immediately to give more info than I could with the link.
What would you like to know? I'll be happy to add more.
The gender scan prank app is it. Released at 99 cents late Saturday night, it has become much more of a hit than I had hoped.
