Around $1000 a month from Android app sales: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dozingcatsoftware.WireGoggles https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dozingcatsoftware..... (After Google's cut, before taxes). A few weeks ago I applied the common HN advice and raised the price from $0.99 to $1.99, which so far has increased revenue by about 50%.
- guynamedloren 15y agoNot to knock your app... but really? Aren't there free apps that do the exact same thing? It's entirely possible that I am severely underestimating the mobile app market, but this just seems like something that nobody would pay for. I think I need to get into mobile dev.
- bnenning 15y agoAren't there free apps that do the exact same thing? Yes and no. There are free (ad-supported) apps that do similar effects, but in my entirely objective opinion they aren't as polished, and I haven't seen any others that record video. And my free version (no ads) does everything the paid version does except save pictures and video. this just seems like something that nobody would pay for It surprised me too, especially with the constant claims that Android users don't spend money. But as the poster above said, it's fun to show to your friends, and then if somebody wants to take a picture, $2 is less than a drink...
- drpancake 15y agoHey - good to see you're on HN. This app never fails to amaze people I show it to (especially The Matrix mode)
- bnenning 15y agoThanks, glad you like it! At some point I want to tweak the matrix mode so characters "fall" from the top; right now each frame draws random characters, which still works surprisingly well.
