What Happened
March goals were 120 downloads, $100 in revenue, and 4 apps shipped. All three cleared by a wide margin.
Soundshine had the most downloads at 72, with 10 paid purchases at $7.99. NetUtil had 47 downloads and no sales – it is a free app, so no sales is the expected outcome. 47 downloads on a free utility with no promotion is a win. The SEO content is working. Just Habits had 60 downloads and four IAP purchases for $17.44 in App Store proceeds. No clear explanation for the spike on any of them.
Ejecta had 9 downloads and 9 sales at $7.99 each, totaling $71.91. Ejecta is purchase-only with no free download, so every download is a sale by definition. TypeSnap had 13 downloads and 1 sale at $17.99.
Eight apps shipped in April: Pacesmith, Portie, Gratuity, StickerForge, Melancholy Otters, Cozy Ghosts, Pygmy Ghosts, and Dos Palabras. Four had downloads right away. Pacesmith pulled 8 and one IAP unlock. Gratuity had 3, Dos Palabras had 2, Pygmy Ghosts had 1 as a paid download ($1.69 proceeds). The other four – Portie (direct distribution via portie.dev, not the App Store), StickerForge, Melancholy Otters, and Cozy Ghosts – had zero. Normal for launch month with no promotion.
SongSplit dropped from 15 to 14. Train531 fell from 9 to 6. Whitenoise fell from 5 to 1. None got attention this month.
