So my app, Aim the Castle, while it was paid, didnt sell any copies for a month, so I decided to put it out for free. When it turned free, I was contacted by a very well known chinese website: http://www.gao7.com and in two days it sold 3000 copies! Today I contacted a couple of "paid to free" websites and was wondering, should I put it back to paid or stay free for a while? And if I put it back to paid, would I get many sales? Here's the app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aim-the-castle/id420283519?mt=8

    LOL I am sorry TSB, I did change it, that was just for the trailer, within the game I actually put some sh**ty art I did very quickly, and for the trailer I also painted it so if you will ever use it in one of your games thats alright.
    Can you answer me now please? Sorry for the incovenience...

    Be glad that it didn't sell well, you need to address the issue with the art used in your game. He's been real nice about it so far, but he can easily have you removed from the app store, and Apple can ban you for using art that is not yours without permission, and then your app making days are done. Just a word of advice.

    Edit: Sorry. Nevermind :)

    And changing from paid to free and then back to paid has helped some people with improved sales. It may give you a temporary boost. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

    Should I wait till tomorrow or should I change it now?

    How long has it been free?…If longer than a few days, then might as well do it now. That's what i would do anyway, others may have a different opinion.

    People usually do it free for the weekend, the most downloads happen then, besides Thursdays. Maybe wait until Monday?
