Android Market app not selling
I'm a new user to this site but I've used it for quite some time now for help.. I would like to say that it is extremely useful.

So I'm sixteen years old and just recently began app development to try and make at least a little bit of money for myself(looks like I might just have to get a job -_-). So I started off easy by making an app that includes a lot of different calculators in it and just released it to the Android Market a few days ago along with a free, Lite version for it. 

I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on it? Like if it looks even somewhat professional and if it is even worthy to be on the Android Market. It's just a calculator with different utilities but I put some good work into it. [Here](https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xterminategames.ultimateutilitycalculatorlite&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS54dGVybWluYXRlZ2FtZXMudWx0aW1hdGV1dGlsaXR5Y2FsY3VsYXRvcmxpdGUiXQ) is the link.

I have a priced ($0.99 USD) full version for it but it seems like no one wants to spend a dollar these days when it comes to mobile apps(well at least Android users).

Also, I was wondering.. I would expect for a free app like mine to have at least a good amount of downloads after a few days since there are so many Android market users, y'know? Like 100 or something. But I haven't even broken 5 downloads yet...

This is a concern to me as I thought that I would have a decent amount of downloads by now, my description and everything seems pretty convincing - plus it's free. I read an article once that said any app, even the stupidest ones, will get at least 1,000 downloads because of the amount of buyers in the market. But I guess I was wrong in believing that.

Is this really how the market is? Does my lack of downloads just have to do with the fact that it's only been on the market for a few days? I guess I just want to know a little bit more about the market and how easy.. or hard it is to make money. It seems pretty hard right now. I feel like I'm never going to even reach $100.

I'm actually teaming up with a friend and we're going to start making some games, but I'm just worried that no one will download them no matter how sweet they are. I can't afford to really promote any of my apps or buy an engine like Unity.

Lol, sorry I feel like I'm writing a diary now, so I'll shut up. I guess I'm just disappointed so far in my achievements. But, if you would like, I would appreciate it if you would download and review my app or something like that just so I can have a little bit of feedback from someone besides my parents and friends. Also, I would like to know more about how the Android market works and how to make an app that becomes popular in it.

Thanks! I believe that us programming "nerds" will run the world in the future. Our technology is getting better by the day and we're the ones that know the most about it. Just think about it!

P.S. I suck at graphics as you can probably tell by my app, that will be my friends job in the future ;)
