I understand your idea of making the title as less wordy as possible but in terms of SEO it's not always the best strategy (never actually?). Assuming you want to use SEO as a marketing tool, your title shouldn't come from an idea you had but from actual data. You need to go through keywords on https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and see what people are looking for. For the best result, try to use t…
What SEO value do "small unobtrusive app" and "achieve" and "with your" really add to this page? I suppose you'd have to view what kind of conversions you get from those types of keywords, but I wouldn't imagine those keywords coming in with any sort of frequency, or delivering conversions. I understand your argument, but it would make more sense if the heading had better keywords. I don't see this heading adding muc…
Hello HN peeps. I would like to invite you to a little experiment. I have created probably the smallest niche app on the mac app store and I would like you to help me sell and optimize the marketing around it. Now you might think, "who does this guy think he is? – doesn't he know I have my own business to run?" and you are right it would be unfair to just ask you to help me market my product. So instead I would like…

Several people have told me that now. Consider it part of the next update if possible
Several people have told me that now. Consider it part of the next update if possible Definitely have a play with pricing, but make sure to remember that if you have three times the sales at one third of the price, all you've done is increased your support costs :)
You should also take note of all feedback, since your customers are the people that are willing to spend a relatively high price for perceived utility.
If you are responsive to feedback, that is in itself quite a good prospect for users, and that is a lot easier at small scale, than it is if you have 1000's of users.
Great app, but you need to drop the price to below $8 - I think this will help you maximise revenue. (based on my experience of having several top 50 apps on the mac app store over the past few months).
Thnx for the feedback. You think I should do it instantly or wait until tomorrow?
Hopefully your app can create differentiation. Good luck.
15.99 is too expensive, IMO, but I guess you can make that decision based on sales data. I would experiment with 4.99. Something else a lot of people don't realize is that mouse acceleration is turned on in OSX and it's 'impossible' to disable without an app like USB Overdrive. Mouse accel is terrible for gaming -- especially FPS. I would add this feature to your product and call it out.

If you make it free, people will complain that there isn't a paid version or that it doesn't do X/Y/etc
Do not let a few people decide if you should lower your price.
If you don't sell anything, then maybe it's the price, but get some DATA first. I personally didn't think $15 was too much, but I have a PC.
IMO, $10 looks cheap, $4.99 looks trivial, $20 looks greedy, but $12/$15 seems respectable for a utility. I just paid $25 for a small graphics tool 2 days ago. If it has value, it's worth it.
