Here is the original idea I had about the message for this sponsorship:

Saved is the simple iPhone app that helps you make better spending decisions.

But this didn’t feel right for readers of 512 Pixels. You love Apple, I love Apple — but the readership here probably skews toward individuals who do not need a budgeting app. Not an easy sell.

Instead, this week I’m inviting you to read a series of articles on my blog about what life is like on a small indie team. For fellow app makers, this is my way of sharing what I’ve learnt about the app business with the community. For everyone else, I hope this gives you a bit of insight about what goes on behind the scenes at little app makers.

Oh, and this guy makes an appearance.

App Store sales figures are higher than ever. In the first week of 2015 alone, iPhone and iPad users spent nearly $500 million on apps. And that’s not surprising given how easy it is to drop money on the top paid apps. Wouldn’t it be great if a service existed to help you save money in the App Store?

Enter Apple Sliced. Apple Sliced is a free web service that aims to be the ultimate App Store companion. App prices fluctuate at a surprising rate (25% of paid apps had free sales last year), so we track these changes to help you save money.
