WOD — the first two weeks
WOD has been on the app store for two full weeks now. It went up on October 8, after being submitted on September 30.
In the first week, I got lots of great feedback about the app, in email and through ratings on the App Store. The feedback was so good that I submitted version 1.1, which has some bug fixes and additional features, this past Monday (still waiting for approval).
To my surprise, it’s been selling reasonably well: right now, it’s sold 287 copies, most in the United States, with some in Europe, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada. This means I’ve personally made about $400 (+/- for exchange rates…). Not bad. It’s beer money. I’m mostly just surprised every morning when I see that it sold a consistent number the previous day. No big jumps, no drop-offs so far.
As far as I know, this has come purely from browsing the App Store or by word-of-mouth, because I don’t see a lot of traffic on my own web server and haven’t found much on the web linking to it (CrossFit West Santa Cruz let me put up a link on their blog, and another CrossFit affiliate picked up the link, but little else). I don’t know how big it will get, or when I’ll saturate the market for people who would want to buy it.
