l but my app is no where near good enough to be reviewed by these guys.
Well…. you said it yourself. So why on earth would you sink what little money you are making into a wasted ad campaign. If you cannot compel someone to play it for free how on earth is a little ad in the corner of a web page or even at the bottom of an app gonna compel someone to spend money on it?

@tenrdrmer I never said my game was bad, I just said it isn't as good as the games that these sites review. I think my game is fun and I loved making it, I just find it hard to get it noticed is all.

And thats the sad reality of the app stores. only the small a handful of users who love playing all the unknown stuff will actually go looking for it. if you want or need to make money from the apps then you have to sacrifice making what you enjoy playing for making something that is unique enough to catch the reviewers eye and get you the only real exposure that is going to make or break your apps sales. because once the reviewer like it then apple will take a look. and if they like it then it will get featured and thats really the golden ticket right there. Every now and again the best of both worlds happens and someone makes a game they love and it just so happens so does everyone else. Im not trying to tell you you suck at all at making games. I can't get reviews on my games either. in fact the only game I have ever had a big review site review was one of my worst games ever and it wasn't really even a good review. its like the guy just happened to be bored and gave it a try. It sucks I know but trust me don't blow your money on some ads its a waste
@tenrdrmer thank you for your advice, and it really is good advice. Trust me I have been trying to think of something unique to make. It will come to me one day. Thanks again mate
