great idea. if you're finding that sales go up dramatically too quickly you might want to consider raising prices to weed out shitty startups. your service is only as good as how your partner publishers value the stories you submit. one way to mitigate that is by having a high price floor that only "serious startups" will pay for.

#32Why is it iPhone App marketing? A lot of the publications write stories about android and web apps as well. Trying to focus on a niche?

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
yes absolutely! I should make that clearer - it's suitable for any "newsworthy" event, like a launch or an update or if you previously have not liased with the tech blog community. That said, as I've elaborated in another post, it's quite closely tied to the iTunes API right now so if you're not an iPhone/iPad app it won't work for you. We can work on that though!
Thank you so much! From this HN post it's pretty clear that there's some demand for an "any app" approach. We will get to work :) Totally agree about the case studies and when there are some noteworthy ones you can bet we will show it off on the homepage. Typical chicken/egg issues preventing that right now though!
Totally agree. I've been building a rails web app and have been trying to work out how to do the PR. I'd be super keen to see your site cater for the web and not just iPhone.
Also, love the design. Clean, crisp and very simply and elegantly tells your story. Well done.

#34I like this concept. I tried to signup to give it a try with my iPad app iJuror but it looks like the App Search only looks for iPhone or Universal apps. Is there another way to go about adding an iPad only app?
just added ipad support!

#35Congrats on shipping, I really think this is a good market. Any chance that you can personalize a few of the emails sent? I might want to add or remove a few things only for some blogs.
definitely more tools are on the way for that purpose. we want to strike a good balance between hands-off awesomeness and ability to tweak.

nope, trying to launch! :)
At launch we support iPhone / iPad apps.
but Android is definitely in the works - after all some of our publishers are Android-only.

#37Well I'll be the guinea pig. Just gave it a shot with one of my apps that I was planning on doing a New Years resolution press release for (it's a debt tracker). I'll be sure to give an update of how it works out.
awesome! I'd love to hear your thoughts. Email me anytime at yongfook @ peterpings.com
