      Being successful on the app store involves a bit more than making a great app. It's how you play the search ranking/rating game. There are quite a few things that need to be done right.

      The way you get ranked in Search plays a huge part in your sales (Unless it's a top 50 app). Another huge factor is your screenshot. Your leading screenshot should not be a shot of the launch image. Here's more info on screenshots: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mobile-design-tutorials/app-store_screenshot-design_iphone-desig/

      I wish they were GIFs. Actually the are .ogv which I can't see on my Android tablet (and probably neither on iOS). I had to go to the computer to see them.
