Getting successful iPhone apps to market: the experience of Oz Weather

Ross Dawson, November 6, 2008 at 4:16 pm

My brother Graham Dawson moved to Sydney at the beginning of this year. It’s been great to have him around, not least to tap his tech expertise!

Graham launched his first iPhone app on Sunday, and it’s already selling extremely well. It’s aimed at the Australian market and provides weather forecasts, detailed current weather and daily extremes, and an extremely nifty rain radar that provides timed moving images and centers on your current location.

Graham’s blog post Oz Weather goes live provides a full review of the app and Graham’s experience with the iPhone submission process – very interesting. He’ll have more up on his blog soon on what he’s learning as an iPhone app developer and marketer.

Also see the OzPDA site for info and access to the iTunes store for the app.

If you’re interested in the weather (including avoiding showers!), definitely download it.

See below for a video demo.
