50 and counting!

My Animal Age has officially broken the 50 downloads mark. Unfortunately, 90% of them are still trials. But hopefully with the coming update *cough*still-waiting-on-Microsoft*cough* those trials will start turning into more paid.

With that 50, however, came another review. 3 stars with the only comment being "Too few". This is great feedback but I was hoping that more detail could be given. How much is just right? How much is too many? Given that some of my competitor apps out currently have less than mine (somewhere in the 6-10 range) while mine has 12, including a mythical beast, how many more would be a better count of animals?

Continuing that train of thought, if I compared against the animal sounds apps which mine will now compete against since I've included that feature, My Animal Age will have either the same amount or a lot less. One of the top ten kids+family apps has 30+ animals and sounds, but that's the sole functionality of the app.

So my question to all who may actually read my blog: how many animals are just right for an app like My Animal Age?

Seriously, not trying to be facetious here. Give me some good feedback. Give me details. I would like this to be the best app it can be.

Thank you, whoever you are, for your feedback and if you happen to read this, drop a comment. Let's talk. I would definitely like to make this better.

  1. If I were you, I'd take a trip to your local zoo (Seattle?) and include whatever animals are at the zoo. Then, you could also advertise your app as an educational "bring along" for kids going to the zoo. While there, they can compare ages, hear sounds, get cool trivia, etc.
