Apple Pay is intended for purchasing items in Stores, not apps.
Apple Pay won't change anything about purchasing apps / in-app purchases.
Apple Pay won't take a 30% cut of every transaction.
The iPhone 6 / 6 Plus include an NFC transducer, whereas the old hardware does not include the ability to operate at this wavelength (13.56 MHz)

I wrote a Kivy app for a multi-touch table a few years ago as my Masters project in CSE.
I appreciated being able to develop on my Mac, run it on the table using Windows, and even got it running on an iPad.

I ran an ad in an email blast to 11,000 people for $300. 12-20 visitors was all I saw through Google Analytics, and the App Store downloads did not increase.
Since that experience, I haven't spent any more on marketing, but I'm going to give adwords a shot for my Photo Investigator landing page. Are there any other marketing avenues that you'd recommend?
