still pretty low, that's 700/day. I've never released a free app that didn't get I would remove the 10,000 copies reference because anyone who has any experience on the app store would see that those numbers are very low. It's like bragging about a 3.0 GPA.

If I had to guess, I'd say that they have a larger vision that what you see today is just the first step of. Remember that Microsoft started with Basic on the Altair.

Right now tabs work and click properly. It loads data from our HTTP API and displays it in an ugly way, and trailers do play in a basic way on the Android version. tl;dr: I'm actively working on it, but I don't want to promise a release date just yet.
If you are not embarrassed with your 1st release, you've waited too long. Release it now! ;-)
