How much do you make from iOS music apps?

I am a musician and programmer. Comfortable already with xCode and objective C. I haven't been able to justify the time commitment for iOS development though.

I'm wondering what the potential revenue is like in the iOS music app development world. With the low prices you would have to move a ton of products to make anything worth a full time venture. And music apps definitely don't sell nearly as close to games, novelty apps etc. I even look at some of the more well-known products (Moog's stuff, iMaschine) and the review rate isn't so high. Even if 1 out of 100 people review it, it doesn't factor out to be so much. Then cut 40% out for Apple as well. Maybe the goal is to have many products and they all generate a little bit of revenue?

Does anyone have any experience in this space? Or can you anonymously provide revenue figures for your company? Just trying to figure out if it's worth getting into as a one man operation.

It depends on so many factors.

You're right that pro audio apps are niche, but that allows you to also charge a bit more for a useful app.

By the way, Apple only takes 30% of revenue.
