That's not very good. For the first month of his big show, he averaged about 90 unique visitors a day? Or maybe there were more the first week and it tailed off after that. Either way, not very impressive.
His Alexa rankings are more current and, not surprisingly, worse:

His one-month total, early June to early July, is barely better than his three-month, which includes weeks before his show was even announced. And this has to be discouraging for all those local advertisers: "We estimate that 82% of the site's visitors are in Pakistan."
Pratt in a Tweet early this morning said, "And that does not include phone apps! Blackberry, iPhone and Droid account for a huge portion of our audience."
Compete.com traffic stats does not include mobile devices, according to a blog.compete.com post on Groupon and 15.6 million unique visitors in December 2010.
"...a huge portion of our audience." A huge portion of what, the 90-some webpage viewers? Even if it's a thousand people on the apps, even if they somehow found out about it through another source and never went to his website at all (which seems strange), a small number - and most of them in Pakistan, apparently - visits his site for things like his polls, videos, or anything else. So that's a wasted resource. Great news, again, for his local advertisers who have banners up there: Out of the much fewer impressions than you thought you'd get, eight in ten are 8,000 miles away. Probably not going to Show Low to buy a car.
But trusting a salesman and a self-promoter like Dave Pratt about his own numbers over an independent source is a bit risky, especially when it's something as uncharted as mobile apps. Of course he's going to say it's going great. He should show us the download info if the portion is so huge (and he feels the need to brag about it), and if he can't demonstrate it, then how does he know?
And even if he has had 1,000 people download his app, have you never deleted an app from your smartphone after you downloaded it? Do you use it everyday? Where's he getting this "huge portion" number?
