Thanks so much. We have not tried this...but you've motivated me to take another look at it. Do you know anyone who's used it?

We were interested in Distimo their reporting on rankings. Unfortunately, you have to be in the top 200 (it seems) to get ranking info. Appfigures is better for this. They do hourly rankings (thanks to ajlburke for recommending it, we just signed up today).

They do have a nice dashboard and the site is easy to use.

Thanks for the link. Great to read about others' experiences.

Thanks. So, we had a $100 credit from Google to use on adwords. That was interesting but not something that would work if we had to actually pay for it. In terms of other marketing, Apple gives you 50 download codes so we handed those out to local bike businesses & nonprofits.

Our experience is that people rarely redeem the download codes, but will often reciprocate kindness. Our biggest sales came when we gave some promo codes to a bike courier company, and they tweeted about the app to their 3,000 followers.

Aside from that we comment on some of our favorite cycling blogs with our url. That's it. Suggestions?

a) Glad you like it. Simplicity was a goal. b) Yes, totally agreed & in the works. c) This will be in the next release. d) We actually have a ticket in with Apple to get this fixed. There's nothing we can do on our end. Terrible.

Thanks for the honest feedback!
