Ask HN: What mobile app did you make and how much are you making from it?

PrayerTime iPhone app, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prayerti.me/id555243169?ls=1...

The idea is to help Muslims know their obligatory prayer times and also to help them keep track of their prayers. Learned iOS and built it all by myself including the design work.

I launched it for $0.99, made $10 or so and then made it free and since then saw a significant increase in downloads but since it's a free app without any ads it's not making any money right now.

I would love to hear from you on how to possibly monetize this without compromising the good intentions of making this app.

Could you find a way to license your app to certain religious organizations?

Don't know what exactly that means? Do you mean let those orgs buy bulk license and distribute to their groups? Can you please explain a little bit?

I am not experienced with licensing out pieces of software like this, but that is the general idea. Maybe another HNer could shed some light on this topic?
