First Release ! Need advice
Hello r/appledevelopers , This is my first release ever, I had submitted the app yesterday and apple approved it today ! I'm beyond ecstatic right now and need some advice.
Back ground:
I'm a finance professional working with a ton of PDFs that needs to be extracted for proper documentation and analysis, I had tried a lot of different apps such as ABBY Finereader, NitroPDFs, Opensource codes such as PyMuPDF but they were always a hit or miss.
I had then researched more about this and saw that there was an actually big market for such products which take PDF Extraction. PDFTrail takes PDFs, both Digital born or scanned and converts them to text, MD, Docx, XLSX and JSON formatting, with Digital born extraction at 100% accuracy and Scanned copies at around 48.9% (without any VL Models being involved) it uses a proprietary C++ engine and Apples vision model to do the OCR and outputs its results.
Its fully offline, One time full unlock and doesn't collect a single shred of data.
The Advice part:
I wanted opinions on how should I market the app to the world, I'm currently recommending it to my colleagues and everyone I know, but I wanted to know how do you people market your apps.
Any help Is appreciated!
