Speed Notify Warns Parents of Speeding Teens!

My app (Speed Notify) was recently accepted into the app store. It has only been about 1 week and I already want to submit an updated version. Is there a time limit on making updated? http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/newshome/16427264/new-app-warns-parents-when-kids-are-speeding/

Thanks gonorthwest! No I didn't use buzztouch. Yeah I have received some great exposure in Australia. And for some reason sales are booming in India too. It's only been in the app store for 1 week, so I'm pretty excited! I would love to get some exposure in the US.......Can you recommend any decent app review sites?

Yes I use appannie.com. It seems the be the best analytics tool for apps, according to my research. It's only been live for a week and the news paper in Australia did a nice story on it here http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/safety-app-puts-parents-behind-the-wheel-with-speeding-p-plate-driver/story-e6freuy9-1226603807840 I think a news paper in India picked this story and and enquiries and downloads have been crazy. I'm hoping a media outlet in the US runs with it too. Its building up nice momentum atm. Review sites?

Thanks! We have a lot of users already and things are going well. More info at http://www.speednotify.com Is it worth while investing in an app review website? Any suggestions?

perhaps, although I think your app has the potential for alot of free marketing due to its very nature. App review sites are a minefield, if you do go this route I advise you ask for case studies and traffic figures etc etc. No good putting an ad in a newspaper nobody reads right? one thing I wonder about your app tho, what stops your kid from exiting the app soon as they get in the car? also future update for you, log gps co-ordinates when child is speeding, input into database and in time you will have valuabale data on speeding hotspots/hangouts for kids

Thanks for the tips re review sites. If the child logs out of app or turns of locations, it sends an instant notification to parents, including a Google map with exact address when they logged out. Good idea re the hot spots!

it sounds more like using buzztouch SEO ranking to push a non-buzztouch app. and asking a question that you already did. http://appshopper.com/navigation/speed-notify lol. good stuff tho more people know about it now.

Nice app tho, you should push it to maybe to some parent teachers associations and speed places like RACQ in the english speaking countries.

nofollow? why would you even mention that? I'm not spamming this thread! What possible power could this page pass to my iTunes link? It has a pr zero and is totally non related. I could break it down even further but can't be bothered. Thanks for the feedback re app.

Take it easy, who mentioned spamming?! Nothing wrong in clever promoting of an app on a popular forum.

ah, sorry. I misinterpreted your comments. I just thought you were having a 'dig' at me when you said: "lol! You know bt links are no-follow?" Wasn't sure why you would say that. All good.
