Created my first serious iPhone app, featured by Apple a few days later

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but that has to be the most useless short description field I've ever read of an app on the App Store (and there are some really bad ones on there). I realize your title is pretty descriptive ("Border Delay"), but take advantage of the description field! That's valuable marketing space!

"Border Delay is the most useful utility for frequent travellers on the App Store. It has all the information you need, and none of the junk you don't. Check it out and see for yourself."

This does not qualify as a description! That said, I wish I had this 10 years ago when I was going back and forth on the border by car.

Hey CG, thanks for checking it out. There's actually a pretty well fleshed-out description. Unfortunately, the app store hides all but the first few sentences by default.

Anecdotal evidence seems to suggests that most people don't click that "more..." button. Not much you can do about it, but with an app like yours he's probably right you could include what the app actually _does_ right at the top.

That said, I think I'm going to re-think the first sentence. Any tips? I appreciate the feedback.
