Agreed. But I will be curious to see who is making more money in a year.

One of the makers here. I'm curious as well :) Hopefully and ideally, everyone who puts in the work makes the money.

Seriously though, we actually do hope to make enough to pay off some of the bills. The revenue model is freemium, most users will not need to pay, and there is a one time IAP for users who end up using/needing the app enough.

Essentially, our philosophy is that we want to prove that we are providing value to people before we expect or want revenue from users. We might put more revenue options in the future, but it would be based on the same philosophy of providing actual value.

We're still beginners at this, so thanks for all the comments, good comments make us smile, and criticisms are even better so we can make the app better throughout the year.

Indeed. Thirty multiplied by zero is still zero.

Haha, yes. Most apps on the app store don't make any money at all, but if making 30 helps you identify a profitable niche you can target then you'll come out ahead of the polished but perhaps poorly targeted app.

Hopefully people continue to release their stats.
