I have a failure of an app with 300 sales/$450 revenue in 8 months. I dropped it to free last weekend. It got picked up by AppAdvice and had 50,000 downloads in a week. It would have been more but Apple has a horrific bug when dropping from paid to free where some users are unable to download it.
My app is a Utility app that people seem to enjoy, but I don't think there is a paid market for it. People simply aren't willing to pay for such things. I'm in the middle of moving to a completely free setup with tips via IAP. No ads, no pay walls. Totally free. I have no idea if it'll work but I can't make less than I already am! It's currently waiting for review so hopefully in a couple of weeks I can do a writeup on the experience.
- jasonmcalacanis 15y agoI wonder if you can ride the free push into solid reviews, feedback and a better product that folks will pay .99 for? Clearly "usage" plays some sort of role in rank, so i think it's good to get a large base of users and then be paid. or something like that.
