Thanks, @indieappsanta! I had a pretty rough start with one of my apps, BoxMind, getting close to zero ratings. Running an Indie App Santa campaign about month ago changed that in just two days 🙂 pic.twitter.com/dDmrYaTTgb

I still have a lot to improve in my new app Uplift (https://t.co/NGvsJ0Ai0B).
Lesson learned: after a purchase, don't ask users for a review with the in-app API, just send them to the store, it's more reliable. pic.twitter.com/4J2813vhw0
So close to 200 ratings for @goalkit_app!

Big part of that is from my @indieappsanta featuring last year. In retrospect it was very much worth it!
Though my tip: Don’t choose a day where you will be featured with to many others at the same time 🙂#buildinpublic pic.twitter.com/87HJLRHTUN

So I ran a @indieappsanta campaign for Penman on 7th of January reducing lifetime price to 4.99$ and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I definitely suggest giving them a shot but first make sure of your paywall conversion you can find good tutorials in @stevepyoung videos pic.twitter.com/sHFvDTkp1F
