I am a bit confused on how they are doing it. As a developer I sign up and put my app on sale. I decide the number of units I want to sell. Buyers buy it through the website. Now how do the buyers get the actual app?

Hi,

My name is Matt G and I work with appbackr. The backr is purchasing units number one to say one thousand. The developer gets paid a wholesale rate immediately while the backr will profit as the app sales via itunes. We hope that the backr and the developer work together to help the units sell and the app to get more downloads. The developer will always own the IP. Hope that makes sense. e-mail me and I can explain more. Cheers - matthew@appbackr.com
