Hi, I am Anh Do. I made the Writing Kit text editor for iOS. Visit this link if you want to read my original posts only. Feel free to have a look at my portfolio while you're at it. |
My first paid app, Time Waster, is indeed a time waster. Never take off, modest sales.
The second one, .Vn, is doing okay. Popped to the 2nd place in the Top Overall ranking in the Vietnamese App Store in a few days, then it went down hill faster than I could imagine. Still #2 in the Productivity category in said store, though. Regardless of what position it might hold now, once Apple officially jumps into VN market, this app will be doomed. Mac OS has Unikey built right in, there’s absolutely no way Apple could let the iPhone be sold in the VNese market without a VNese keyboard.
The third one, Shopaholic, is currently waiting for review. I am requesting permission to sell the app from the people behind its API, so even I don’t know whether it would be a paid app or not. If yes, the price would definitely be $1.99.
The fourth one, [retracted], has been sitting in my App list for a long long time, yet it still couldn’t see the light. Guess what, this app has been rejected 3 times for the very same reason: It crashes on the test devices. Worst thing is I can’t even reproduce the bug using both my miserable 1st gen iPod Touch and my friend’s 2nd gen one.
Now I am eagerly waiting for my first App Store payment from Apple. Not much, but every penny counts.
