Here is what makes me goes on...

As my last post suggests the earnings are actually going down very rapidly. Therefore had been busy coming up with other apps, when I've decided to take a breather and check out reviews for my current application here is what I saw and it really gives me the motivation to try and come out with other 'innovative' (shameless me) way of doing mobile software.

I am really really happy that my new way of creating flowchart with focus of fast and simple works for the reviewers (UK appstore). It feels great when your creation is being appreciated by the users. Hope I've achieve the aim of showing my friends that we are better than what we/others think. (I still remember my friend's remark on doing a flowchart is too difficult)

Oh how can I forget, if you are interested you can purchase it here

Sales figures so far

Hi all,

As promised more posts. Here is the sales figure for 5 days so far.

Total downloads: 100
Commision paid to me: USD $1.4 per sales
Estimated profits: USD $140

Majority of the sales comes from USA. Second most downloaded region is Japan (pretty surprised considering I did no localization). Third coming in is Great Britain.

So no, you can't survive on iPhone apps alone.

Best regards.

My first iphone flowchart app up

Yes after all the wait and frustrations finally my first iPhone app is up! Of course there are some gotchas again. Most importantly for your W-8BEN submission the ITIN number is not really required, key in 000000000 also for item 9 select first and second checkbox, leave 10 empty as singapore have no tax treaty with the states. This got me for a while...trying to apply for ITIN from IRS...

you can have a look at my app here. anyway more post to come...oh I'm available for iPhone application consulting jobs in the meantime..(finding inspiration for next app still)
