iEarn Google Adsense application review for the iPhone and iPod Touch

iEarn for the iPhone is a basic income tracking application for webmasters using Google Adsense on their website or blog.  It allows the user to view basic information about their Adsense account without having to load the browser.  It displays Today’s earnings, yesterdays earnings, last 7 days, this month, and last month’s earnings. 

That’s what it does and that’s ALL it does.  If you are looking for an application that will allow you to track multiple sites, break earnings down by pages, set up your own custom reports, or anything else then you need to stick to the browser for now.

Unfortunately not only does the app not do much, what it does do it does not do well.  It is slooooooow retrieving your data,  and it often  requires multiple starts in order to retrieve your data.  In fact I started this app at the start of writing this article and I am still waiting 10 minutes later to see any data, this is on an Edge connection.  Performance was a little better on wifi but not an acceptable wait time for a minimum of information.

I was excited when I saw this app appear on the App Store and downloaded it right away, but for $1.99 it was a waste of money in its current iteration.  So if you need an app to track your Adsense earnings while on the go then keep watching the App Store for other options for now.  Hopefully the developer will continue development on iEarn and eventually make it in to a useable application.  If there is no further development on the app then I at least have a review on iPhoneAppReview that is displaying ads, it will only take a few thousand clicks to earn my $1.99 back.  ;)

I know I'm probably late, but check out SimpleSense (http://www.ketacode.com/simplesense/). It's a FREE app that shows your AdSense account stats.

Pretty basic, but works great.
