Can u tell us how much your sales go up from this review please cause I would like to know if it's worth spending money to go into that area of advertising.
@Vmlweb- I'll tell you that advertising and getting reviews are very different. I have been testing advertising on appadvice.com with a small $75 ad and it has brought in about 2 or 3 sales a day (from 4 or 5 clicks after 3000 impressions). I would think a more expensive ad on say Touch Arcade would pay off if you have a good app, but I haven't tried that yet. I payed nothing for the review and it has bumped it up to 12-15 a day after 20 or so views a day (this is a smaller site than some others). So, I would say go for a review. Send them your absolute BEST description about you and the app then cross your fingers.
Yeh I submitted my game to lots of app reviewers and most of them said theres too many apps being submitted and I would have to pay them around $50 for them to review it.
From my experience and what I've heard, there's no sure way to get reviews (even paying them). My suggestion is to make an interesting game, present it well to the reviewer, and follow up. Giving them previews before releasing it and keeping them up to date with your updates also helps you get coverage.
Thanks guys. I got a random email from AppModo.com today saying they want to review it so I'll post that up when its live. 148apps wants to as well. It seems like once you finally hook some press, they keep coming.
@vmlweb- Yeah i put it up for advertising there starting this month. It was cheap and the little ads don't earn much but pay for themselves. It keeps the user base growing though.
