I don't think one can generalize so strongly from a niche app like this (it seems to be a personal DB that you can use to catalog your CD collection or other lists).

It would help if there were sales numbers for the same app at the same price on the iPhone, but instead I wonder if the low sales are due to low demand rather than Android customer demographics/spending habits.

Yeah, it's a SQLite front end which is an interesting concept, but it's not something you're going to download unless you have a specific need for it. It also looks a bit complex for normal users.

My $0.99 Android app had 216 sales in its first 11 days, and is coming up on 1000. It's a "fun" app (although potentially useful in some cases) and much more of an impulse buy. Nowhere near enough to quit my job, but it's a profitable hobby.

I agree. I was hoping for more generalized information to justify the general statement made by the submission's description.
