I Made My First Sale and Made It to #7 on the App Store

That’s amazing work, do keep it up.

I wonder how much difference it would make to have a free trial for a week. I don’t mind paying for apps, but I also don’t like paying for something I’m not sure I’ll be using. Especially when I’m already using an app with (from what I can tell at least) pretty much the same features. Once I try it it’s possible I’ll change my mind and actually buy it.

Agreed. The price is fine. I think the sinister looking icon will be a bigger barrier than the price.

Yeah I've thought about simplifying the icon or at least making it look less sinister. Maybe take away the red eyes or something. Appreciate the feedback!

Otherwise, it’s amazing. Exactly what I was looking for and the folders are something I didn’t know I needed but love.

Thank you!! So glad you like the folders. I really felt like bookmarks were missing something until I added folders. Let me know if you have any other feedback or features you'd like to see. Enjoy!

Thank you! So it turns out I had it free on the app store for about a year before I made it $1.99 this May. Having it free for so long gave me a chance to get it in front of more people and add more features in the meantime. I'd definitely consider making a free trial option so that users who wouldn't otherwise buy it could try it as well. I appreciate the feedback!

Don't do this. If it's good, it's good.

For crying out loud, you earned 42$ for a year of work with it and he's on a tech minded forum.

+ If they don't like it, they can request their money back afterwards.

Also when you have made the decision to use something the price really dont matter if its one off payment.
