Hi,

I have 4 GameSalad games on AppStore. They are being sold for about 10days now. They started to get sold even on the first day.

My sales was 10-12 a day. Not very good but it was OK. One of my apps made it to top on Lifestyle Grossing. So it started to sell good for last 4-5 days. But yesterday, I saw no sales in my AppFigures and iTunesConnect accounts. I tought it may be a delay or something.

But the truth is, my all apps stopped selling at same time including the Lifestyle one. I'm not recieving any sales for 2 days, suddenly. My app is on 23rd place in Lifestyle now. But my other apps are not getting any sales too.. Not even one..

What the hell is going on? I tested with promo codes today, and my reports are true. No sales for last two days.. What could be the couse of it? I have no bad reviews at all. (Just a single 1 star on Lifestlye app.) Is there something wrongin general??

    I think as well that lifestyle is one of the lowest selling categories. So actually maintaining a position there is reasonable even with no new sales. Is that 23rd in the US store or a different country?

    Different country. But, my sales did not go down slowly. It was 20 a day, 17 a day, 19 a day and 0 for last two days. But, maybe you are right..

    that sounds quite normal. Unless you can gain some real traction in one of the stores your app sales will dry up in days. An update my help to lift it a little again. Some people suggest making your game free for a while, other suggest raising the price and then dropping it again a few days later. I tried both a few times and found every time that sales were worse after than they were before.

    Well, thanks... I thought this was really strange thing because I'm still a newbie :) If you guys say this sounds normal so, I will wait maybe 2 days and start making updates, changing price etc. Thanks..

    Also, once off the new release list, the only way people will see your games is by searching keywords.
