Call & Win, for iPhone

Update…

Call & Win has been rejected by Apple.  No explanation.  I did, however, get a call from an Apple app checker.  We had a nice conversation on the issues that might cause rejection (this was before it was rejected officially).  The two important issues that came up for this app were:

-You can’t make an app that deals with contests and prizes.  Even though this app doesn’t really fall under that situation, it did sell itself as a contest winning tool of sorts.

-They can reject an app that doesn’t offer any unique functionality.  Basically, they don’t want the app store filled up with “Hello World” apps.  I can understand that.

I plan on reworking this app to make it a little more functional and sell it more as a productivity/time-saver app.  That is, if I get around to it since I’m now working on a unique game that parents will love because it should keep kids quite…

This app has been submitted and is currently waiting for approval from Apple.  Expect it to be available in the App Store around July 21.

screen_in_phoneWant to win those tickets to the Hollywood Bowl?  There’s an app for that!

Call & Win – Quick Dial KCRW is an easy to use ‘quick dialer’ that brings those awesome ticket giveaways and prizes within your reach.  Now you are only 2 clicks away from your chance to win.  Try putting Call & Win on your iPhone’s home screen and you won’t have to waste precious seconds flipping screens. If you don’t get through, you are automatically given the chance to redial.  It couldn’t be easier to dial the contest line over and over again. Good luck and make sure you have your KCRW membership number ready!

I’m rich! My iPhone apps have sold thousands…

Well, at least 1,000. That’s right. According to my record keeping, Slider Calc , the slickest iPhone mortgage calculator in the app store, is a worldwide smash hit with just about 1,000 happy customers out there. Keep on sliding those numbers around, people. Add to that the sleeper hit of 2009, a little app called “Meat Clock”, which has sold well into the dozens and now we are rolling in cash! Easy street, here I come.  If you read stories like this one about Steve Demeter or the story about iShoot developer Ethan Nicholas who claims to have maid $250,000 in two months, it is easy to see that I should have about 2 million downloads by Christmas.  I better start preparing for the amazing lifestyle changes that are coming my way!

Me, on top of the world riding iPhone riches into the sunset!
