Anyone else had success installing App Sales Mobile? The automated scheduling and report mailing feature is really cool, but I'm getting the same report mailed to me from September every single day!

AppViz has been pretty good so far. The support seems great as it's had a few updates this month.

I think I need a How-To for App Store Sales Reporter. The app is just an Open dialog?

I like appsales-mobile. It's a free app that does just enough. No automated emails though.

How many of the web services are mobile Safari friendly?

It's worth looking into Distimo. I've signed up, but don't have an app in the store yet, so haven't used it much. But it has the added benefit of tracking competitor's stats and it works for apps on other platforms, too.

I think it's still in beta, so it might not be as fully baked as the others.

I should add that I got in the beta back when it was free, and now I pay a few dollars per month for the service. Really worth it IMO. I look forward to my automatic morning email with pretty sales numbers :).

Here's a useful tool http://appcomments.com
For now it allows to read user reviews from an RSS-reader or right from that website (with emoji support and automatic translation).
Automatic ranking is going to be developed if users are interested in it. Just tell about it here: contact@appcomments.com or leave a response in this thread.

Thanks for the tip.

FYI, I needed to create a new application "Open to all Google Accounts users" to run the app from Google's *.appspot.com.

Now to wait for some sales... :]

One of the people I follow on twitter posted about it ( godzilab ).

I can confirm it's totally worth to spend a few hours to install this. I've received my first automated email with details on the sales, a graph of the sales, the total number of sales. It's supposed to work for several apps, but I've only one to test right now.

Note that you can create a list of emails to send this report. Very useful if you work in a team (dev + artist for example).

Good find! That looks really useful. If I could ever figure out how to install it! ;) Where did you hear about it?

I've just succeeded in installing it and I can tell it looks awesome. I've uploaded all my weekly reports at once (.tar file) and it organized the data by number of sales, income etc... It seems there is a way to output graphs but didn't manage to do so yet.

OK I've just found Git is a version control software, so I can go on now.

This looks awesome : http://www.oiledmachine.com/posts/2009/09/05/app-sales-machine.html

But I'm totally newbie on Google App Engine. I followed the steps of installation until :

git clone git://github.com/baz/app-sales-machine.git

I don't have a clue how to do so, where to enter this line ??
