The Windows Phone sales of our app have been extremely lackluster. Our app is a paid app priced at $4.99 and targeted for Windows Phone 7.
On iOS we regularly get into the Top 10 iPhone and iPad Sports apps (both top paid and top grossing), and on Android into the Top 20 Sports apps on Google Play.
Our WP7 version has generated approximately 0.5% of what our iOS app has made, or approximately 2% of our Android app.
We also have had a Mac version of our app available since July which has almost passed the total sales of the WP version which has been on the market for over a year (our app is primarily targeted at mobile device users while they're at a sporting event, so lower computer sales are expected).
The jury is still out on how our Windows 8/RT app will sell in relation to the others since it was released just prior to the launch of Win8 but after the majority of our sport's season had completed for the year.
Our app does spread pretty virally at the events. In our completely unscientific polling of users, most of them found out about the app from other users, and I would guess that those WP users probably just assume that it's not available to them (we do give it equal promotion with the rest of the versions on our website).
As far as the release of WP8 goes, we haven't seen any noticeable uptick in sales as a result.
- codefoster 14y agoI wonder if your app goes well on tablets as well as phones and so Windows 8 will be big for you.
- marklubi 14y agoWe're certainly hoping that the Win8 version will go well and we made sure that it would work well on tablets. Both our iOS and Android versions have tablet optimized interfaces and we see a significant amount of tablet use for both. A somewhat interesting side note, our iPad top chart rankings lag behind iPhone by a few hours. Presumably people get the app on their phone while at the event and then go home and install it on their iPad as well.
