iPhone vs Android app sales: numbers from an indie developer

Interesting, what kind of marketing are you doing for the app? How are people hearing about it, just market searches?

1000+ downloads of a 2.99 app in the first couple weeks is pretty impressive, well done

My app has been fairly popular on the iphone app store for over a year, and customers were demanding an android port. The only marketing I need to do at this point is just notify my existing customers that a new version is out. Everything after that is purely organic.

Great info. Was this app featured prominently in either store at any time, or just listed rank and file with all the other apps?

I was never featured on either store. Everything came from organic downloads and word of mouth.
