CubeCheater Available for Sale

This morning I received a mail from Apple saying that CubeCheater was approved and is now available for sale!

It took about three days for the app to be approved, which is not too bad - I was prepared for it to take up to a week or more. Still, according to iTunes there were a whole bunch of apps which were apparently submitted yesterday and today which were also approved at the same time, so something about the process still seems a little fishy. I'm not complaining though!

Another strange thing is that now I am only given 700 characters to type a description of the app, which is not really even enough room to fully describe all of the features. I think the limit used to be 4000 characters, and other app developers certainly took advantage of that space to write long-winded advertisements for all of their other products. Maybe this is a new shorter limit in order to cut down on that sort of behavior. It certainly forces you to be terse and succinct.

Interestingly enough, a Brazilian iPhone blog has already written up a post about the app (in Portuguese): http://appstoreblog.com.br/2008/12/resolva-o-cubo-de-rubik-em-poucos-segundos-usando-o-iphone/

Here's the iTunes link to the app: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300162540

  1. Whoo hoo! Congratulations! I hope you make lots and lots of moolah. Very cool!

    Maybe they only approve apps one day per week, and that is why yours took a few days and others got approved right away…maybe Thursday is approval day!

  2. That’s probably a good explanation of what happened. I already got an email from a customer in Germany! So that’s 0.6 Euros. woo

  3. If you sell me your iPhone, I’ll buy it 🙂

  4. If it sells well enough I’ll probably be able to afford a 3G model, so I might hold you to that 🙂
