That's a bit of a generalization.
There are a number of top selling apps that haven't been updated in months. Mine has had only 2 updates since Dec 12th.
There are other ways to promote your app. My post in this thread, from Christmas Day, had quite a few recommendations, particularly re websites.
I hope you'll take these suggestions constructively.
I've visited the (apparent) website (
“Do it until it becomes boring, then keep doing it until it becomes beautiful.” | Scratch Pad) for iHappyBirthday, and while there is some valuable information, it's buried in a blog format. Do you really want to be talking about a crazy driver who almost ran you off the road, or promoting your app? Should my first impression be "iHappyBirthday crashing?" in bold on the home page?
For an app suggestion, consider creating a NEW app (which will get more exposure upon release, from the sites that follow apps) called iHappyBirthdayPro, that lets you specify the number of candles. And get a better domain name like iHappyBirthdayApp.com. Make your home page feature your app.
Here's an excerpt from my post on 12/25:
[quotePlus, I got the domain name,
Fun and Clever iPhone and iPod Touch Apps from No Tie Software, and put up a cool Flash demo. Since there isn't a trial version, I wanted people to see how it works. Originally, I didn't have the demo and I was getting a lot of questions. Those have diminished (while sales have increased) so it makes it a lot easier to support.[/quote]
