Default magazine review!

A friend told me that one of my app (Snowblaze) got a 9/10 rating in a UK magazine called iPhone & iPad app essentials volume 6. So I bought the issue and damn he's right!

I scanned that page and uploaded it here

I do see an increase in sale in the UK and US (minor though).

That is pretty awesome. Do you have any idea why they would put it under the weather section though?

It's actually under Utilities / Weather section, cos mine was the last utility app in their list.

Congrats! Must be a great feeling...

if you don't mind, do share how does a mag review affect your sales later.. (in term of % is ok too)..

Not much. Only like up 20% these two weeks.

We get about 30-40% increase of sales from a US iPhone magazine review.
