TapZilla (S2010) applied the day of the deadline, we only knew of the application about a week or so before the deadline when Harj visited Seattle. After that, we never looked back.

These coupon codes aren't the same as the ones from iTunes. These are generated by TapZilla and redeemed within the app itself so that it can inform us which user from our service downloaded the application.

Not exactly: The developer pays $1 + app cost, they in turn will receive 70% of the app cost from Apple. So the effective cost per user acquisition for a $0.99 app is $1.30.

1000 apps installed per day = $1000/day
