    The difference in both cases is getting some PR to build initial sales. Initial downloads lead to appearing on the charts which leads to more sales, which leads to more time in the chart.

    App discovery is the really big problem for apps and Apple are spending millions buying anyone who may make it easier see Apple Acquires Chomp; App Store Search And Discovery To Be Completely Revamped | TechCrunch for just one example.

    The one thing I wanted to emphasis is that writing something on the basis of if its there people will come may not be the best approach. Yes some people may find it but considering how bad Apple's app search system currently is I really wouldn't want to bet on it. Just try to find the iOS equivalent of google's sky map to see what I mean.
    To ensure you pick the correct one its a £1.99 app from memory.

    As such I really think you need to find someone who has already launched apps and get some advice on how to ensure you app is launched with slightly more than a damp squid.
    Agree. If you build it, they won't come (without some marketing).

    damp squid.



    squib.
    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

          Its a typo but I'll let you imagine its something more if you want.

          Just attended a conference call with chief architect at a large oursourcer. Did you know CQRS simply means a few views to speed up data access.
