I'd love to see this app (if you're willing to divulge)

Great or misguided expectations lead to disappointment. I like how your expectations had nothing to do with the App Store gold rush.
Well, the app is out there, but it is useless unless you are in the City of Pittsburgh. My approach to the startup is unconventional: I'm laying down pieces which will be played later on. It feels like chess. Not a chance a VC would ever fund us because of that. Yet it is no doubt as likely or more likely we will fail among startups.
Thanks. Do it because you love it.
"Park" is clever: nice use of the technology at hand.
At first I thought you were being facetious, but then I saw your app. It would be interesting if you compared sales of 1.1 and 1.2 since they are so dramatically different aesthetically.
Getting back to 1.2, it won't be possible to differentiate the UI changes from the significant feature changes: the filters were the single feature that users of 1.0 requested, and I couldn't see shoehorning them into the single-view UI. I would expect the new feature to have a larger effect than the new UI, but I can't see a way to test that theory.
