Good luck to the guys. I released a similar app a few months ago - Beatwave (http://beatwave.co). We've just hit 1.2 million downloads so the download numbers they're after are fairy realistic I think. Just have to make sure the monetization is spot on to capitalize though!

100k downloads per month to make a living. I don't know a lot about the app ecosystem but that seems like low profitability. ie. relying on something taking off with hundreds of thousands of people to only make a conservative amount of cash.

How many are on staff and what are the salaries? I'm just wondering since it's seems that you could cut some of the cost and keep up longer, if that's what it takes?

Great idea! I will buy you app just for your effort...

It's right on the corner, don't give in! You have time, make it count. Reach out to your target market, audience before hands.

Love the honesty! Good luck and I hope we'll see a "How Brutal Honesty Saved My Startup" post in 3 months.

tl;dr A struggling Norwegian startup is doing daily updates for the rest of their 100 day runway. To be profitable they need 100.000 downloads on their music app, which is soon released (now being reviewed by Apple).
