[instaviz-users] App Store Searches and Marketing thoughts

[Andy Dent]

I don't know if this is a general AppStore failure or something about how you made your submission (my turn to submit is months off, if ever) but I tried searching in both power serch and the main ITunes search for these terms, none of which showed up Instaviz
1) sketch
2) diagram (two competitors, both cheaper)
3) graphviz.

>From a marketing point of view, I think the number one thing is to have a lite or trial version. People need confidence in a user interface that comes from being able to use it, not watching a video. I've just bought an iPod Touch (recommend refurbs over eBay) to play with various games because I needed that hands-on experience before I even start serious design.

I'd tackle both these issues ahead of any marketing (just read the marketing thread in the Jan archives) especially the ability to play.
