Apple creates dev app to monitor App Store sales
Apple says the new app "allows developers to access their sales and trend data from iTunes Connect. You can now view your daily and weekly sales data related to updates, paid and free apps as well as In-App purchases.
"Whether at the office, at home or on the go, iTunes Connect Mobile keeps you informed about your sales numbers right on your iPhone or iPod touch."
The new app for iOS devices is tailored for iPhone and iPod touch; it works on iPads but does not yet take any special advantage of its larger screen.
A review of the new app in iTunes complains that the app only shows unit sales and does not present actual revenues, but other reviews expressed appreciation for the app in tracking sales from mobile devices.

Ah finally! I have been waiting for this.EDIT: Just had a play. I like it.
Any reason why a developer couldn't just go to a website to do this? Other than bumping up the number of apps in the app store?

If you had access to iTunes Connect (the developer web app from Apple), you'd know how laughable that statement really is. Also, it would be nice to have this data on my phone, even if I don't have internet or cell coverage - I still have the data.
Sounds more addictive than Plants vs. Zombies.
Finally. I actually submitted a request for such app to Apple early this ear. The graphs are nice. I don't know why Apple don't have similar graphs in iTunes Connect though.
