I have been playing with SQLite recently and toying with the idea of creating some kind of framework upon which I could build persistent data objects, much like the Zend way of doing things in Zend Framework for PHP. That was, until I came across SQLite Persistent Objects…

February 12th, 2009Subnet Calc Pro: Reviewed by Softpedia
February 5th, 2009A few weeks ago, Softpedia reviewed Subnet Calc and classed it in their freeware picks section. So when I released Subnet Calc Pro I thought I’d let them know. They have kindly responded by reviewing Subnet Calc Pro.
Hopefully this will be the start of something more with respect to iPhone apps. I’ve got plans for others, which I will be starting work on one of them soon. It’s quite an interesting app which uses the GPS function of an iPhone which should be fun to try and play with!
How to market an iPhone app?
February 4th, 2009Since releasing Subnet Calc Pro three days ago, I have been checking my sales stats each day. I released it at £2.39 / $3.99 because I figured it’s quite a niche application and there’s plenty of 59p / 99c ones out there which are just a copy of Subnet Calc – i.e. not including all the extra features of Subnet Calc Pro. I’m not really sure where to go with the application because I have sold 6 copies in 2 full days of sales and I know it’s very early, but this is kind of what I expected to be honest. I’ve done absolutely no marketing so I am just going on people finding it themselves on the App Store.
So I’m now considering what I should do regarding marketing… should I do some advertising? Subnet Calc was reviewed by Softpedia as an app which “you’ll have remorse not paying for”, so perhaps I should contact them. Or maybe even I should use promotional codes to try getting some decent reviews.
Any comments, ideas, advice anyone?
First sale!
February 2nd, 2009I’ve checked my reports on the iTunes Connect page and I noticed that one person in the US has bought Subnet Calc Pro already! Many thanks for the purchase if you are reading this.
I really hope that people like it…
I feel that I worked extremely hard on it and it was at a stage where it was ready to be released. However, I do plan to release updates in the future as and when I implement new functionality. I do have some plans, but any feature requests are much appreciated – simply pop over to the application page and submit a comment saying what you’d like to see.
Subnet Calc Pro: v1.0 Released
February 2nd, 2009Subnet Calc Pro was released onto the App Store last night and I have set the initial price at £2.39 / $3.99. This is the first version and I expect to see how it goes and then I will look at releasing new features over coming versions. Version 1.0 includes very useful features over Subnet Calc such as being able to define hosts inside a subnet which can help to keep track of IP allocations.
I will be releasing a little guide onto this website soon which will show some screenshots to explain some of the features of Subnet Calc Pro
