Has anyone sold their app?

dev4life · 19th May 2017, 03:19 AM

Hey everyone,

I've been a dev for most of my life, mobile dev for the last 5 years and a lurker of this forum for a very long time, this place has helped me a ton with monetizing my apps. Thanks guys!
I've decided to sell a few of my apps and I was wondering if anyone here has had any success with selling them? I've contacted several companies and got a lot of different offers. I got the largest offer from WePurchaseApps, has anyone heard of them? Sold to them? They use escrow, so I assume it's a safe place to sell it. I found them through a banner on one of the forums I frequent. They seem a legit company. Just want to make sure there aren't any scams involved, since the apps I want to sell are worth quite a lot.

Thanks!

Hey. how are you dev4life, I sold mine on Flippa and they also use escrow and I would probably recommend it. Just know the lowest you will go, make sure the other party has rep and you should be fine.

I would for sure go with flippa but I have not heard of that other place in all my life until I read your thread. Google reviews of the company and see what people say. Sometimes a problem happens hear and there but I'd say read reviews for sure. With flippa I do like that they have a option for PayPal as well because that's normally all I will accept and I document every thing perfectly so if they ever try to act like nothing was done correctly I can send those documents to PayPal and they can't do anything to sabotage. With flippa I don't think you'd have a problem though like I said just do reviews on that company.

Hey,
thanks for the reply. I already sold the app. My other post got deleted. Where I mentioned the process, I'm not sure why.
We'll if anyone is wondering, it was super easy. The guys at WePurchaseApps.com were super helpful and nice. The basic process was that I transferred my source code and the app to them and my money got released from Escrow. It's happily sitting in my bank account right now as I am writing this.
It couldn't have been easier.

Hello everyone,
it seems our company has attracted quite a crowd. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Preferably questions in which you want to sell your android app to us, but any will do.

I've sold my app to them, what do you want to know?
The whole process was easy, I just waited till they put money into escrow and then I went on with my part of the deal. Pretty sure it's impossible to get scammed by them.
After a while I noticed that they didn't change anything to the app, but only the ads, they had some different ads, so maybe they they get more money from them.
