Shock Horror people like free stuff :)

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

Well colour me shocked but it seems people like free stuff.

While it took 129 days for my paid Android app to reach 100+ downloads its only taken 11 days for the free app to reach that milestone. I would love to provide everything free :)

Wake on Lan for Android gets a free version

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

I have just uploaded a free version of Wake On Lan for Android to Google Marketplace which is an advert supported version.

It was about a year ago I finished the paid version and so far it has had 297 downloads. Lets see how long it takes the free version to get to that level.

Android sales

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Just got past 100 sales. Not really selling like hot cakes but will crunch the numbers soon and see how it stacks up to iOS.

UPDATE

Sales figures for 8th Feb to 17th June (129 days)

Android sales – 101

iOS sales – 689

So that would suggest a 6.9:1 sales ratio.
