I would also maybe give out free codes so people can try it, review it, spread it via word of mouth, etc.

FWIW, the black text is somewhat hard to read on the blue background. I think white would be a lot better, imo.

I think best way is to contact some blog sites who do reviews, post on forums such as this one, etc.. and give out free codes.

I've purchased / downloaded way more apps off word of mouth then ads..

Other than that, make a great app. If it's quality. Others will do the advertising for you.

I checked out the screenshots for your app in the App Store and would personally recommend that you consider changing the colors to something a bit less high contrast. I just found this site which I would personally find helpful if designing an app similar to yours.
