App to get download statistic on iPhone
Hi,
does anybody know an App that downloads the daily / weekly statistics and presents them in an appropriate way?
An iPhone App would be great, a Mac Os tool would do also ...
Thanks,
Stefan
P.S.: I could not find anything via google ...

I have an application currently pending review which is cheaper than the $20 alternative in the App Store and does a great job of aggregating sales figures.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I just started writing such an app yesterday. No point now I guess.
The marketing on "Sales App" is terrible. The screen shots on the website are the same as in the app store. They claim there are graphs yet none are shown. They are going to sell very few at that price without providing more details.
My website shows screen shots of every possible screen in my apps. There's no point in just repeating what little is in the App Store.
JRBCS - make sure you add your app here under the Application Showcase.
So does anyone have a good idea for an app that they don't have time to write?

I just bought the 20 Dollar App since i urgently needed such an app for the next few days. I dont think the price is too high, since after all they are developing for a limited target audience (around 10.000 people I guess ;-)
Here comes my review:
The app is ok, clean and simple. However after reading their website i expected more.
Also it still has some bugs:
1. weekly reports are not sorted right
2. the total amount for all reports is some fantasy number (several millions)
For the price i hope this is fixed soon. Anyway, for just conveniently looking at the daily and weekly numbers the App is ok.
Bests,
Stefan

I already have automated scripts running at home that download the daily data and generate basic reports for me so I have no need to spend $20 on an app that I can't even see what it does.
I'd be interested to know how Sales App and the new one about to come out, as mentioned above, deals with the fact that Apple makes changes to the pages for downloading the sales reports every once in a while.
BTW - My scripts for downloading the data can be found here:
Maddyhome Forums • View forum - HowTos, Code Samples
These are NOT supported. It also seems that some users from some countries other than the USA get a different screen or two so this script may not work for you but I use it every day. It's set up on a Linux server I have as a cron job.

This app is exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect. Works great for me so far. I would gladly pay $$$ for this app.

what's even better is that despite not being able to log into iTunes Connect today, AppSales was able to somehow connect and tell me my daily report from 12/23. if it still works tomorrow, that will be great.

It's probably just me being paranoid, but as anyone checked the source code of "Sales App" or similar programs to make sure they aren't sending sales data to a private server or something? Seems like this kind of data could be valuable..

I didn't do an exhaustive check but I did a cursory check and didn't find anything fishy. Though it does include two non-standard frameworks with no source code. But I have no reason to believe there is anything fishy going on.

Certain constants are available on the iPhone OS but not in the simulator environment.

Thats because https://itts.apple.com/ is still up too. You don't have to go through iTunes Connect to get to the sales reports, it's just a link to the ITTS page.

Well, I wrote AppViz, and I can attest that I'm not doing anything nefarious  One way to check would be to use something like wireshark to sniff the packets being sent.
The free app is pretty well done. If you're just looking for details on sales for the last few days or weeks, it solves that problem very well.
If you're looking for monthly report analysis, a desktop app, or longer term trending, of course I recommend AppViz. I may, just may, be a little biased there.
I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys might have to make AppViz better. It is still early days, but I hope to provide a fairly sophisticated analysis tool if the market has room for one.

I think you mean AppSales? I downloaded it a while ago and compiled it. There's nothing being sent back anywhere. I don't know whether the code has changed at all since I downloaded it probably a month ago. Very nice of the author to freely give away the source code. Apparently he was going to sell it via the App Store but changed his mind. Now it seems there are a few similar apps popping up.

I looked at the AppSales code a few days ago; just a direct connection to iTunes connect and yahoo for the currency tables. Nothing untoward happening.

AppSales Mobile seems to be cool, but it doesn't work for me. The strange thing is, that my itts page seems to work differently with an additional choose vendor page??
You could say: you have the sourcecode ... fix it. But I wonder if any of you got the same problems?

A new version of AppViz is with significantly enhanced features is up at ideaswarm if anyone is interested in trying it out. It has been almost completely redesigned and now supports currency conversion and review fetching among other things.
