PureBasic Forums - English

Hi there,

I'd like to (proudly) announce the 4th App made with PureBasic, which sells in the Mac App Store.
You will find some information (in German) on this page: http://www.quadworks.de/software/

Apps - all go for 0,79 € or 0,99 $
DropMeFTP - A small FTP client for batch uploading, zipping, bit.ly-ing in one (drag and) drop.
ShowIP - Displays your local and remote IP inside the OS X-menubar.
SpeakToMe - Use the speech synth of Mac OS X (tested with Lion) to read a text, or export to file.
WebCamAddict - Show different Webcams from around the world (10 included), and edit the list.

I added an English translation by Yahoo Babelfish for your convenience

All Apps set up in the Mac App Store were coded using PureBasic.
If someone loves to blog about one of these Apps, please contact me to get a free copy. Please tell me, where you like to publish.

Out of interested: Does it work? I mean do you get serious income from it?

0.42€ to 0.52€ per sell doesn't sound like much to me. And isn't it that you first have to invest $100 for a Developer's Account as well?

I'm just curious if it actually works for those who didn't create the next million-selling Angry Birds-hype thingy... at least I guess that's the case for you, correct me if I'm wrong.

Congratulations!

No, it does not. Not enough for a living. But after all, it's all in the PR. Coding doesn't matter, f***ing PR does. And being well-funded, of course.

Let's put it this way: If Apple sees your Apps, you may get rich fast. If not, you have to return to your office tomorrow ...
I started developing Software (they call it App now) in 2009 with an iPod Touch 1st gen. Until now, I paid about as much for hardware (iPod, iPad, iPhone 4, Nexus One, Acer Iconia A500, MacBook Air - quite a collection) and license fees (PureBasic, Ansca Corona), as I earned. If I work for free, the system works

Thanks

Well, at least you earned yourself some nice hardware.

Good luck with your new Apps... I hope you get some more sales!

This is why I see the App-Thingy with with mixed feelings (ein lachendes und ein weinendes Auge)
The hardware is really nice, and I could refinance it with my hobby-projects. Now for the big money!!!
