0) Released an app for Android, earlier days of the platform and hit 20,000 downloads pretty quick. Ended up making ~$250 through in-app ads.

1) Worked on it for a few months with cofounder, scrapped as we ran into technical issues requiring a complete rewrite. Looking to do the rewrite sometime in the next year.

2) Launched, very slow to gain any traction but starting to get more users. The hardest part is marketing - http://fuelizer.com

20K downloads is great. I've got a few iOS apps probably 1k downloads in total, though they are paid apps. After apple takes its cut I've made ~$1200 over a year.

I agree with you on the marketing part! Dev seems easy compared to marketing!
