Agree but if you want thing to work on appstore it become even worse. Thats why i pulled my app from the app store 6 months after lunch and instead are selling directly. Havent looked back since.

How was the revenue from the App Store for your app? How is it now in comparison? How do you market it?

The rev is the same. I was in top 10 on the app store for a good while it didn't do much to my sales so the benefits unless Apple decides to promote you for OSX are more or less null. At least in my experience.

I realized that for the kind of niche productivity software I made Google is a much better app store.

I mostly live of organic traffic and only do actual marketing once in a while. The best is when the product gets exposed to communities who are into productivity.
