First app statistics

Just fancied posting to see others experiences.... My first app went live yesterday and in the first 24 hours I had 841 downloads globally! I wasn't expecting anything like this I was expecting about 10 ( if I was lucky!) and half of them were friends and family lol. Today it's at 1,371! Is this because people just do a search on new apps and download them just because they are free to check them out? Have others received similar download figures when releasing their apps? Thanks

Wish I had charged now but I'm sure I wouldn't have got those numbers. It's only a gallery app :s Might send an update to the AppStore with some iAds on it! Do updates take along to review as original uploads?

About the same time frame, yeah. Great figures though, the magic of you and BT!

Do you know how I get the BT map working. Apparently I need to turn gps on? Can I do this changing the bt config files in Xcode or does it have to be in BT and then re download source?

GOOD FOR YOU!!! My first app has gotten 323 downloads over about 2 weeks, but it is in a niche area in that it is a guide for adult leaders of Boy Scouts. I think you are crazy to NOT do some ads....monitize that sucker asap. Anything worth doing is worth doing for a couple of bucks...way to go Bonzo!

Bonzo, if you left your Configuration Data URL in the app (when submitting to apple), then you can make changes in the BT control panel (like adding iAds), and it will get refreshed to the user's device. If you removed the Config Data URL, then you will need to make your changes, update your code in xCode, and resubmit to Apple.
