App update
My first App, Tracks of Southern African animals, was accepted by Apple and released for sale. Sales have been steady at the rate of about ten a week, mainly to South Africa. Obviously I will not get rich from this adventure, this is no Angry Birds gaming App that must have sold in the millions. I did take advantage of the code I had already written and modified the image files to release a companion App, Tracks of Central & East African animals. The main differences being the distribution maps and the addition of the higher primates and the deletion of some antelope species. Sales have been dismal to date, so I am thinking of marketing plans to hit the safari booking agencies in the US with a flyer that advertises the App and points out why any discerning client would be just thrilled to have their own personal track guide, not in a clumsy books to consult, but on the iPhone that they are probably clutching anyway, and which is likely to be the last thing they consult and let go of while your friendly lion decides that they would make a nice lunch.
