Testing 1..2…3..TEST YOUR APP!
It seems like a no-brainer I know, but you have to thoroughly TEST YOUR APP before you submit it. First to make sure everything works the way it should. Second to make sure people like it.
Remember the Atari? I bet they wish they had of done some more testing before releasing a couple of games..

Rejection. It Happens.
Being sort of a geek growing up, I’ve had a good number of experiences with rejection. Unlike the girls in high school, who tended to be vague in their reasoning for rejection, Apple usually will give you some type of clue as to what you did wrong when they reject your app…they do want to go out with you, but you just got to clean yourself up a bit first is all.

Paying For Downloads And Fake Reviews? What Is This, The Tour de France?
You’ve spent months planning, developing, and submitting your app. Now comes time to tell the world…so you’ve sent out a gajillion emails…filled out tons of website contact forms for app reviewers, magazines, and sites….posted the info on blogs and discussion forums….The first few days of launch you watch your inbox and wait…and wait…and wait…
No unread messages from app reviewers…no reviews…no responses to your posts…
Your app hasn’t hit the top ten in your category. No one seems to know your app exists. You lay your head on your keyboard, fearing that “Months of work….all for nothing…”
But wait…..

The Waiting Is The Hardest Part….
Like my mama used to say “The App Store review process is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you are going to get.”
Truer words were never spoken. Don’t be surprised to be waiting a while once you’ve submitted your app to be reviewed.

Keep On Rocking In The FREE World!
As a firm believer that a person should be able to try before they buy, I would suggest you put out a FREE version of your app. That and the fact that most people won’t shell out 99 cents on your app, unless you are a known brand like Angry Birds, etc. Do you buy a car without taking it for a test drive? Well, I hope not…App users are the same. They will want to see why your app is awesome and why they should pay for it.
But what kind of free version should you put out? Let’s talk options!
