Addition Tables




The second App that I created with Mobincube was really similar to the first one (Multiplication Tables). It is one menu where the user selects a number and it shows a list with its corresponding addition table. It is targetting again children.

I built this similar App just to try to beat my speed record, to check that I was mastering the basics of Mobincube. And I made that App in just 10 minutes! I screencaptured all the process and then I editted a video showing how I create this App. People from Mobincube asked me permission to use my video as a case study to show their users how easy is to create an App with their software. Here's the video:


Again, I created all the pictures of the App with inkscape, which is a good free alternative to Adobe Illustrator.

I added a new feature that I think might be interesting: a link to my first App. You can make money by publishing your App in Google Play and not taking care of it. But if you want to make more money it is highly recommended to promote your Apps. So, a good way to promote your Apps is what they call cross-promotion. It means promoting your Apps inside other Apps that you create. So, I created a first screen in the App that tells the user that there's another similar App, so they decide to downloading or continuing with the App. Here you have this dialog:

 
Well, this App is not really succesful in GooglePlay at the moment. It only makes around 5 downloads per day. But even an unsuccesful App is making me earn $0.5 to $1 per month. If you do the Math, it is really worthy. For 10 or 20 minutes of your time, the App will make almost $20 after two years. It is like putting a dollar in your piggybank, break it after 2 years and find 20 bucks. And the cross-promotion will make indirect incomes, since will make my other Apps make more money. So I will keep doing this kind of Apps too. I feel that I'm able to build one App of this kind per week.

History of this App: 

27th - July - 2012
I published the App in GooglePlay

3th - September - 2012
I has made only 105 downloads in GooglePlay.
Maybe the reasson of the low downloads is that I chose a wrong name for this App and it is not being positioned in Google Play. Or maybe it is just that people is not as interested in learning additions as they are in learning multiplications. Could you please help me with the name in english?
