To be honest, I haven't sold many copies of my Spanish language app. The last time I scrolled through a generic search on my iPad, I was down around 147th out of 150. Downloads picked up a bit once I released the iPad version in January. However, it's a crowded market and I've got a long way to go. A new version is coming out in the next 2-3 weeks. More words, more audio, another game, etc.

Feel free to click the feedback link in the app and tell me what you think I need to focus on next. At the moment, I'm scratching my own itch, plus learning iOS at a deeper level now. It's also a thrill to see people from all over the world using my app.

http://whether.io - Australian Store only. I've made about $100 in around 6 months. No advertising beyond initial push on social networks. Made about $40 in first week (all people I know, I assume). Now I get around 1 purchase each week.

I like how Dark Sky reminds you when rain is coming, but I like this app's simple layout better.

We made Fitsby ( http://fitsby.com ) and aren't making a miniscule amount from it.

Cool! I saw an article on this a little bit ago. I'll definitely give it a go when the iOS version hits the App Store!

How is the transition from Android to iOS?
