Yeah that's sounding like a pretty good idea so people can get a feel for the app and then hopefully upgrade to get some of the more advanced functionality. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah I've heard plenty of horror stories about the Amazon Store and that link you provided is a good example, plus there are plenty of others out there too. Once the Amazon tablet arrives it may be worth looking at it again because everyone is obviously tipping it to be a huge seller thanks to the popularity of Amazon, so we'll definitely have a look. Thanks for the advice.

Great advice, thanks for the insight. Would love to look at Freemium but flat out working on other improvements and functionality at the moment to include it, but here's an idea - do you think (in your opinion, and anyone else who is reading) that doing a short-term promotion here and reducing the app to $0.99 (the lowest price I can make it, because it's not possible to swap between paid and free in Android Market) would be enough to entice people who read about the app here to try it and provide reviews to help get the word out?

I'll certainly spend time working on the wording in the Market listing to see if we can get moved up closer to the top, or at least start appearing on the first page and I'll also check out that link. Thanks again for your feedback, I really do appreciate it.

Yep, everyone is a critic :-) Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Yeah, we deliberately targeted Android tablets because of the functionality & user-experience we could deliver on the larger screen, but you're right to say Android tablets haven't caught on as fast and Android phones have. Hopefully they'll take off as better devices become available (as was the case with Android phones - remember the G1?) but until then we just need to try and reach all the current Android tablet users. Thanks for the feedback.

Not much so far, but will certainly drop Lifehacker a line and focus on reaching out to Android-centric blogs. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the feedback. We focused on the design with the goal of designing an app that is not only functional & easy-to-use but also looks slick, which isn't as common in the Android Market as it is in the iTunes App Store. Hopefully users will notice the difference between this app and other apps that are built by without the same consideration, and so the challenge continues.

Thanks for the advice - I'll definitely take a look at Wunderlist and see what we can learn from them. Much appreciated.

Yep, I agree, being on the first page would certainly be helpful with people finding the app, but trying to game the keywords system CAN result in the app being suspended so I'd rather not risk it.

While the app doesn't have a revolutionary feature, the design & functionality are exceptional (from customer e-mails, not just my thoughts) and it does what it's meant to do, well, and the feedback I get from customers is overwhelmingly positive.

Another issue: Google still haven't made it possible to submit app reviews on Android tablets (you have to go to the Android Market website) and given this app is for tablets, it means users aren't writing reviews which would certainly be helpful.
