Sales tracking in the appstore
Apple doesn’t provide a great interface for tracking your appstore sales. All you get is a plaintext file detailing your sales for the day, and month. Not bad to get the basic stats, but not great if you want to spot trends or get an overview for a certain period of time. Other people have stepped in to fill this niche.
appsales-mobile is an open source iphone app that provides a nice set of functionality right on your iphone. I’ve gotten into a routine of checking my sales every morning when I wake up. It’s quite convenient. If you have a developer license, grab the code, compile and stick it on your phone. Pretty incredible that it’s free and open
source.
ideaswam’s appviz is a standalone mac app that’s unfortunately not free. It does have a little more functionality though. It lets you downlaod reviews from all of the localized appstores (apparently, reviews aren’t global). $29.95 for a full copy, the trial is limited for a month. Pretty decent app as well. After using it for 3 weeks, I’m strongly considering purchasing it.
