A few weeks back I released an app I\u2019ve been working on for over a year. It is a privacy first Vinyl Trackr, meaning all the data is yours, and it is only stored in your iCloud for syncing across devices. If you don\u2019t have iCloud setup, it will only exist on your device (thanks to the magic of SwiftData!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far I\u2019ve only gotten one review, and it made me sad, since the person had bought the app to \u201cShare\u201d with his wife. He installed and then wondered why she couldn\u2019t see the data on her device. I am guessing it was not clear what I meant by private. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this is disappointing, I am happy to report that a few more people have bought the app, and I am hoping that my next update will expand the base even more. (As an indie developer, any reviews have a huge impact to the reach of my apps).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spent a lot of time trying to make sure that the app scratched my personal itch, and watching where the purchases are coming in form. The data shows that more interesting is coming from France and Germany, so those will be the first two languages I expand the app to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I released an app a year ago that does internationalization, so I am hoping that it will be good enough to help me gain additional traction in those markets. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
