Currently 6.3$(one purchase).

The product was on the App Store yesterday, and as a non-English speaker, it's really hard for me to promote it in English-speaking regions :-(

You should change your developer name. Seeing Chinese characters on an app listing is a huge red flag for westerners. Come up with some English pen-name

It's Apple's requirements, I've no choice. Thanks for your advice though

Just make a company account and transfer the app to the company account with the western name

You should have one more, I bought it. I was thinking to make something like this myself after Apple's search couldn't find a photo I was looking for.

One problem: I only get at most 12 results per query.

RingoCatKeeper OP t1_j282w8t wrote

It's normal cause it will only show the 12 most similar photos in current version, may set it to be configurable in the next version.

In the next version this number will be 120, has submited for review.

How are you currently promoting it? And is it a one time purchase?

I think people would be more open to it as a free trial and then subscription after that. You'd have recurring income too.

I'm curious because depending on how you're promoting it, I'd be more than happy to help.

Yes, it's a one time permanent purchase.

I agree with you on "free trail then subscription", actually I was going to do the same thing. However, a In-App Purchase requires network connection.

Currently, I'm promoting it at reddit, produchunt, and nowhere, It would be great if you could help me.

Oh, I see. Do you need your app to have a permanent network connection for subscription?

I would imagine to purchase the sub the customers need to be online, but their data gets logged into a separate server that is permanently online, so it doesn't matter if they go offline, they'll still be charged until they unsub

And for promotion, I was referring more to writing descriptions for your product hunt, but if I find anyone that's looking for something like this on Reddit, I'll tag you and bring up your app ;)

It's not on whether it needs permanent nework or not, but on it would request a network access, which will toast pop-up window on first request, which is a privacy and security issue.

I'd encourage to use an English name on the App Store. Might increase the trust. Good luck!

Thanks, I agreed. However it's Apple's requirements when I registed Devepleper Account("Fill your Chinese name below").
