Just late last week, Apple started offering app developers access to daily download statistics. Before this, developers were only given limited ability (monthly stats) to gauge performance of their applications in the App Store.
One such developer,
Eliza Block, creator of the crossword application
2 Across,
shared some of her sales data with 9to5mac and the numbers are pretty amazing.
Based on the screenshot of her daily download stats, it appears she's making close to $2,000 per day! Not bad at all for an application she created by herself, leveraging Apple's infrastructure to provide all of the marketing and distribution for her game.
Apple has said that they view the App Store as a break-even project, hoping it will spur more sales of iPhones and iPod touches long-term to justify their initiative.
Luckily, early starting developers are already picking the fruits of their efforts, turning their apps into immediate and serious cash.
