Ok so I have a few questions.
1) How is new and noteworthy status decided? Is it chosen by apple or is it based on how many sales/downloads you make in a set time frame?
2) How do you guys use the special symbols in your app store descriptions? Like the Hearts, stars etc.
3) What is the best way to start your description? I hear the first 3 sentences are the key.
4) Review sites.. how did you guys (who managed to get reviews) go about sending your email to the review site, what kind of wording did you use?
5) Is a lite version a good idea?
Thats all I have for now, hoping to get some good feedback on this. Thank you

2)Not sure, Maybe just copy them from text symbols in internet.
3) Want to know that 2!
4) touch arcade and Promo Dispenser!
5) Im almost releasing mine, I think it should be a good idea if your game is great, But haven't tested yet.
2) How do you guys use the special symbols in your app store descriptions? Like the Hearts, stars etc.
they are the ascii symbols... you can make them with CharacterViewer... (I keep mine in the menuBar... but you can see/use in: TextEdit app >Edit>Special Characters)... bear in mind that not all fonts have all symbols.
3) What is the best way to start your description? I hear the first 3 sentences are the key.
same as any writing... a Hook... that is simplistically done with a question... or strong declarative sentence ...
or joke...
yes... gotta intrigue before people will opted to click the more>> and read beyond 3 sentences.
4) Review sites.. how did you guys (who managed to get reviews) go about sending your email to the review site, what kind of wording did you use?
don't know
5) Is a lite version a good idea?
depends on the game... lite with iAds ... and very intriguing content... would interest me.
