I find it frustrating that you basically have no chance of getting coverage on blogs unless you spend your life "building a relationship" with bloggers. Look, I don't want to "build a relationship". I want to build an app!

And I know bloggers get a ton of email every day, and not everything is worth covering, but it would be nice to get at least a reply saying "no thanks" once in a while instead of just being ignored…

Bloggers will not drive much traffic to your app, do not worry about this. You need to be in the top lists or have a repeatable paid marketing strategy. And usually bloggers will not give you enough of a bump to initially crack the top lists, unless it's a huge amount of them and all synchronized... which would never happen from cold tip submission anyway.
