Photo Spot Featured on U.S. App Store

Nexx Studio is proud to announce that our first iPhone game app, Photo Spot is featured under “Staff Favorites” at both the U.S. and Canadian App Store on April 1st. We have got to say that it’s amazing to see our App on the front page of the U.S. App Store for the first time.

April 1st marks the second month of our presence in the App Store and so far we have a recorded download hits of close to 65,000 times for both Photo Spot and Photo Spot Lite. Through this period we’ve enjoyed the best selling apps and best free apps position in several App Store around the world. We’ve yet to be anywhere near the success of other iPhone App Developers but we do feel very fortunate to have to have made it this far.

Watch out our upcoming iPhone games and applications between April and May.

Photo Spot Hits Twenty Five Thousand Downloads

Nexx Studio’s Photo Spot and the recently launched Photo Spot Lite has exceeded twenty five thousand downloads just five week after its release to the iTunes App Store. It is probably a small count in comparison to big studios or popular game titles like Tap Tap Revenge and vastly popular applications like Facebook but it’s a great acheivement for an independent developer like Nexx Studio.

We would like to take this opportunity to announce that the upcoming patch on Photo Spot will be made available in two weeks time. This patch will include a global highscore ranking system and dozens of additional high quality images to expand your game play experience.

Looking forward to releasing more great games and applications to expand our presence in the App Store.
