15 iPhone App Review Sites – for iPhone Apps Marketing

vishy — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:21:29 +0000

Here’s a list of the top iPhone App Review sites that you need to get your App listed on for generating buzz. Your aim here is to impress the people who run the sites and generate enough zing that makes you stand out from the crowd. Create a story around the app if you can. Make it stand out from the potential hundreds of other app submissions they get on a weekly basis. Make good screenshots and good description that is customized to target the “app reviewers” and not just the “end users” who download your app.

Now, here is the list in no particular order of preference -

iPhone App Reviews – http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/

AppleTell – http://www.appletell.com/apple/iphoneapp-reviews/

Apple iPhone School – http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/category/appstore/

iPhone Alley – http://www.iphonealley.com/reviews/apps/

These sites are the best of the lot, although there are countless others that review and list iPhone Apps. Start with these, and search on Google and expand to others later on.

Remember while writing to the reviewers at these sites – always focus on the points that make your app unique from the others out there. If there are no other similar apps, then make this clear right from go – but do make sure your app is unique first… as you do not want to start off on a lie / bad note! Highlight the plus points of your app, and the geatures that it has that other similar apps do not have and why users will love your app.

Just Don’t be boring!

As Seth Godin would say… be magnificent! Be a Purple Cow!

Price Drops Work Wonders on App Store for Some (Atleast for EA)

Dropping your Apps’ price tag may just give you the boost in downloads and sales that you are looking for. Some publishers (specially EA Mobile) have experienced a high surge in downloads, sales and rank numbers of their games by dropping the prices.

The price of big licences such as Need of Speed Undercover, Wolfenstein RPG and The Sims 3 was cut by $2 last week, reducing the average cost of the company’s portfolio from $5.08 last week to $4.45 this week.

As a result – Wolfenstein RPG was up 33 places to #15, The Sims 3 was up 23 places to #33, and Need for Speed Undercover was up 30 places to #37.

EA Mobile has clearly been learning the lessons of iPhone’s App Store. Research from PocketGamer.biz shows how last week, three of its big games vaulted up the App Store chart after having their prices cut by $2. You may read the full report here.
