It's impressive that you can get 10K organic installs in 1 week! Are there any trick/hack that other app makers can learn from it?

#40However, I'm wondering, instead of connecting to a central server, is there apps do pure peer to peer sharing, possibly by relaying thru bluetooth when internet is down?
