For previous apps it’s been really tricky to get a good overview of an apps sales numbers in iTunes Connect. It hasn’t really been a priority for me since all of our previous apps have been made for a client that themselves keeps track of the sales.

Ninja Fingers is our first completely own app and I’m really curious on how much it’ll sell and what external factors that effects it: marketing, word of mouth, reviews and rankings.

I just started testing a couple of services for tracking our sales numbers and thought I’d share the experience. The most important things to me are how the sales are displayed and that the import from iTunes Connect is automatic. Did you know that iTunes connect only stores daily sales for 14 days and weekly sales for 13 weeks?

Once I’ve tried the services out for a trial period I’ll let you know how they turned out. Meanwhile, here’s the list of services:
