Timestamp 2k went live on the App Store roughly a week ago. Since then I've racked up a whopping 41 downloads in various parts of the planet. Mostly, the US and Canada, but other places I didn't expect, like South Korea and the Philippines. Which is totally cool.

Some observations in this one week:

• The App Store doesn't seem to feature new apps all that well.
• Seriously, this is what I call a 'severe niche' app, meaning I'll be lucky if it even reaches 100 downloads.

Concurrently, I made some updates to Timestamp 2000 on webOS and sent it through the App Catalog around the same time. I think i got roughly 250 new users with this recent update and a handful of people even upgraded their star ratings, how about that for some positive feedback!

The takeaway lessons? 1.) Make better apps. 2.) Consider that maybe the ad revenue approach might not be the most optimal since after 7 months I've barely accumulated enough for a decent lunch.
