![]() A second peak followed on April 30th (iPad 3G launch day) with 53 downloads. If we take a closer look at the performance of the Lite version over the past six months, we can see the iPad launch had an even more substantial effect:ĭownloads shot above the noise soon after the launch, peaking at 46 downloads on April 10th. In comparison, the iPhone 4 launch on June 24th barely registers, although it has probably helped maintain sales volume since then. The May 2nd spike can be attributed directly to the launch of the iPad 3G on April 30th in the US. The graph shows a decent sales spike around May 2nd, with further peaks on May 18th, July 17th and elsewhere. Sales since the launch of the Wi-Fi iPad have been markedly higher than they were at the beginning of the year, and have only now just begun to taper off. Since the graphs above look a little busy, let’s zoom in on the past six months, continuing on from where my earlier post left off: For awhile there I didn’t think I’d make it in time due to a baffling rotation bug I wasn’t able to figure out until I’d had a decent night’s rest. After burning the midnight oil, I was able to complete the update in time and the Universal version 1.5 of Story Tracker hit the App Store with days to spare. Well, naturally I left it to the last minute and didn’t do any substantial work on the iPad update until just over a week before the iPad launch date in the US on April 3, 2010. In the closing paragraphs of my six months post I mentioned I had begun working on the iPad version of Story Tracker. Unless you’ve been living in a cave over the past six months, you can probably guess what happened then! Enter, the iPad! You can’t beat free! You’ll note the spike on this graph is even more pronounced. Story Tracker Lite sold a total of 3174 copies, which will probably roll over to 3200 to close out its first year. Here’s how that did in just under a year: Not a huge jump, but you can clearly see the upward trend on the revenue graph above. Flash forward six months and we see that I did manage to pull a small rabbit out of my hat, with sales actually increasing to an overall average of $4 a day versus the $3 a day I was making before. At the time of my previous post it was looking like sales would steadily decline to nothing, although I still held out hope that I could reverse the trend. During its first year, Story Tracker made $1562 with 331 sales. Rather than keep you in suspense for the remainder of this post, let’s cut to the chase, shall we? Here’s how Story Tracker did in its first full year on the App Store:Īs you can see, there were some interesting things going on over the past six months, but we’ll take a closer look at those in a moment. It’s full of gory details, including a fair amount of depth about my promotion and marketing efforts. If you missed the post back then, you might like to take a look.
