Got my first 5-star rating
by Sebastián BenítezYay! Got my first 5-star rating on the Mac App Store for PopDo. I hope there are more to come ☺️. I can’t tell right now from which country the user is, but most sales came from Germany or USA, so statistically must have come from there…
The outlook for PopDo is still uncertain. Since launch there have been sales every day, but they seem to be stagnating. I could be happy with 2 sales per day on average if it sales finally flattened. That would total around $420 after the Apple 30% cut and almost free of local taxes.
There’s still a lot of work to be done marketing-wise, such as getting more traction after getting approved in Beta List and Beta Page. As it is a young product, I might be expecting too much of it, but I need the income to further develop it.

Congrats! We are going to launch on Mac App Store soon and are so nervous as we never created a Mac app before! This platform is so less crowded compared to its mobile counterpart and I think it got a lot of potential for indie makers like us :). Will definitely try out PopDo as replacement for Microsoft To-do (anciently Wunderlist) as it becomes more and more slow.

Thank you :) It is indeed less crowded, but you still need a ton of marketing to get somewhere. I would advise you to launch on as many social platforms at once, to get the initial kickstart.
I launched without a trial option and lots of people asked for a trial, don’t make the same mistake I did.What’s your app about, if you can tell?

Thanks for the advice! We are actually going to “soft” launch and will only communicate with existing users. Our app is basically a safari extension (now safari extension has to be inside a mac app) that allows to create random emails (or alias as we call in our product SimpleLogin :) ) quickly.

That’s very useful for registering to those “evil" sites that require an email just to continue using the site (sigh!), without giving away your real email. I hope it all goes well with your launch!

Thanks! SimpleLogin could also help managing emails with your own domain (this feature is a bit hidden as we want to focus on the general public first), could be very useful for indie makers! Hope one day I would be able to launch this as a separate product.

Sales stagnation is also correlated to unique visitor traffic to my website. It is diminishing daily at a rate of 1/2 of previous day, back to where it was before launch.
