Contacted about Apple feature

Apple contacted me about featuring the app!

This had me bouncing around the room. Thanks to the feature it earned about $5k in a weekend if I remember correctly.

It was a funny process, at first I thought it was a spam email 😅 But the team at Apple were really friendly and helpful. Was a delight to work with them.

After the feature a marketer noticed it and contacted me on LinkedIn. We had asked me how I got featured and I said "I simply sent a request through their portal".

He was astounded.

In his years of working he had never heard of that working. Apparently the process was to spend tens of thousands on advertising to get it in front of Apple employees who would then decide to feature it.

While the app has been sitting in the feature section in the augmented reality section of the store, it hasn't had as much of a success since.

Time and money constraints have sadly kept me from working on the app as much as I would like.
