Tucows

Yesterday I submitted Winnable Solitaire to Tucows.  I had never used Tucows before, so this has been a learning experience all its own.  I decided to pay the $65 to expedite the review and approval of my app.  They said the queue was about 49 days long if I didn't pay to be moved to the front of the line, although I have no way of verifying this obviously self-serving claim.

The Tucows reviewer gave me a rating of 3 cows out of 5.  I'm not sure, but I don't think that's a very good review.  They are reasonably specific about their review guidelines, so I assume that I would need to specifically tailor the app to get more cows.  I'll add that task to my list of "things to do in my copious spare time".

I just checked their site and my app is now visible.  It is supposed to show up highlighted in their What's New section on Wednesday.
