Comment on Retickr: A Year In The App Store

Comments

Impressive self-analysis

Striking how low the numbers are on the Mac App store. It seems it just doesn't work in the same magic insanely huge way that the iPhone store works

A criticism: my take is you never really got many downloads, even when you got those first few thousand. Lame stuff on Cnet gets tens of thousands of downloads. Popular but unprofitable shareware gets millions.

Were people telling you that 10k downloads was really awesome? Did you have any engagement metrics (usage of the app) suggesting people were going bananas with time in the app?
