v2.0 update

Lightning Nap is a simple one-click nap alarm app. Set how long you want to sleep, put in an optional wake up message, and hit “set alarm”. The app will take care of the rest.

Features include:

Non-invasive alarm design, which enables the alarm to function even when the app is closed
Intuitive alarm page which shows when the alarm will ring and how many hours and minutes remain before it will ring
Customizable default nap time
Customizable default wake up message
Convenient +5 and -5 buttons, which easily add/subtract 5 minutes from your current nap alarm time

App price: 0.99 USD equivalent
Includes 7-day trial.

Any reasons why you have not released it in other marketplaces?

Nice app! It's really easy to use and looks better than the one I was previously using to take my much-needed power naps. Two thumbs up!

I'm mainly focused on the English speaking markets right now, as I'm still not familiar with the process of developing localized applications. I am in the process of learning such, and will expand into other markets eventually. Any particular market/region you were interested in seeing this app in?

Thanks, glad you like it =) If it's not too much trouble, I'd greatly appreciate a review or rating on the marketplace, as that will help massage more skeptical users into trying my app out =)

I searched for your app in Indian marketplace. Just to let your know. Marketplace in India is having English as primary language. this you can figure out by the prefix en in (en-IN) of the Indian marketplace.

I, myself have released my apps (with just English support) in ALL marketplaces and i see significant downloads in non English speaking countries as well.
For example, one of my application "MyTileMaker" has been downloaded more in Germany and France than it has been downloaded in UK.
Later on i do plan to localize my apps (starting with the non-English speaking markets where my app is more popular), which i will be publishing as an update.
