Comment on Rate my startup (3rd time's the charm)

I am no where near the target audience for your app, but the difference between this version and the last is miles apart. I did a double-take to make sure both sites were done by you.

One thing I ran into was that when I first loaded up the page, I didn't realize it was for musicians touring -- I thought it was about 'sight-seeing' touring. Maybe you can emphasize the musical element somehow. Nothing on the front page indicated to me that this was an app for bands. Maybe your tagline ("Instantly track merch sales and expenses") could be tweaked slightly ("Instantly track your bands merch sales and expenses while you tour").

Good luck with the official release!

Haha yeah I had a feeling people who saw the original would doubt I created the new version. I had a number of people respond to my previous revisions telling me to hire a designer. I never bothered saying "I can do it myself" because I figured I'd let my new design say it for me. My original design is very misleading regarding my abilities... I was just trying something different but it clearly didn't work out.

I'll definitely let your suggestion about the sight-seeing confusion twirl around in the ol' noggin. Thanks! :)
