My First Review
Andy over at Andy’s Reviews did a nice little write-up on Jiggle Balls today. Thanks Andy. You have a great blog going there.
The Balls Are Barely Jiggling
Well… it’s been about 54 hours since JIGGLE BALLS hit the App Store. I’m a little disappointed by the numbers. It’s causing me to rethink my marketing strategy. I’m going to start work on version 2.0 (unless I need a 1.1, but I haven’t heard of any problems). I will then release it (upgrading those who already bought this version) and simultaneously release a lite version. This seems to be the growing trend.
At any rate… I’m glad I didn’t spend months and months in development. My big goal here was to navigate through the obstacles and make it to the App Store. I think for $1 I’ve provided a fun little App, but I do want to do more. Had I done all the work up front would the story be any different? I don’t think so. I think the key is having a lite version. Without being able to see it first no one really wants to fork over the $$$. It sounds like you get about a 10% conversion rate, so that would be great. The story seems to be consistent across the board for individual developers, except for the rare exceptions like iShoot (and unfortunately iFart). I suppose companies with marketing budgets are fairing a little bit better.
Anyway… look for Jiggle Balls 2.0 in the coming months. If you’d like to help me out, buy the app and give me a good rating on the App Store. I’d appreciate it.
