However the Amazon app is generating slightly more revenue even though it has less downloads. Again, this has to do with the behavior of people on different platforms.
Want to get your hands on this source code? However, it is important to know when to quit pouring money into a sinking ship. So when do you put a project on the back-burner? Do a thorough analytic sweep: Make sure you know the ins-and-outs of your app before you decide to walk away. Dig deep, there may be a hidden golden nugget waiting to be discovered. Apple likes it when developers keep their projects fresh. Localize, add screenshots for different devices, create a preview video.
This may be the most important thing you can do. Change titles, keywords, categories, your first screenshot… Upload, record, analyze, and try again. Experiment with Price: Change your price around. A strategy I use frequently is to Remove the App from Sale, erase all metadata, change the icon, and re-upload as a brand new app.
This is a last resort, but at least it will give you a fresh start when examined by Apple.

Holy crap… talking about an AH HA! Joe- Awesome! Glad this hit home with you. I spent a lot of time trying to cram as much in as I could.
Yes analytics is the key that opens all the doors in mobile. Its like a backwards math problem, you have the solution, now you need to adjust the variables until you hit gold! We have experienced and heard from others having up to a 2 week delay before all ASO including keywords is processed. Very important for a killer launch.
Have you noticed this as well? Carter and several other experts spent a lot of time and energy putting these ebooks together. The great thing about the ebooks is not even the hundreds of pages of content and walkthroughs, but they also funnel you through steps and processes that are detrimental for your success.
Yeah I have noticed a lag… its making me second guess myself. Thanks for saying something! I was happy with those numbers considering I did no marketing, press releases or anything I know shame on me. Every day after the 25th though the game slid lower and lower each day.. Great post Mark! I really like the rule as a rough benchmark to use. Thanks for the valuable info!
Joe — Sounds like you already know what to do! By re-releasing with some new ASO should hopefully give you some more firepower. Paid version sounds great. Andrew- Thanks for the feedback! Glad you got something out of it. I absolutely believe in cross-promotions!
Its so easy to do and almost all ad networks are setup now days to get solid results. Other things I make sure to nail while launching are reviews. Best is word by mouth, but there are some powerful review services out there too. Social Media campaigns can be strong too.
But most important thing to nail during a launch are analytics and ASO. Have a great weekend! First we went to videohive and decided on the video template we wanted to work on. Then he told me that he will be working on Adobe after effects of some other video editing software and will be making the changes.
About the audio, he already had purchased a few audios which he used in the video. But you can get the audio,from the same website for roughly the same price. I somehow knew that if I put it up for a price, not many people would buy it.
Maybe it comes with being an Indian that no one buys digital goods around you, so you already know, that selling is hard. Other ways obviously include getting sponsors not very easy to find ,selling usage data which a lot of users frown upon and few more whatever you can think of in any other business. Another advantage of ads is, as the user base increases, the income per month increases.
The growth in the income can be seen due to growth in the user-base. It was 8th July and I had launched my app. Until this time I had been adding random people on my Facebook from college , any acquaintance or any person indirectly related to me.
Then I wrote the description, optimized for ASO. Here are the general rules of ASO. I thought I might be able to promote it to the people there. It is quite obvious that no one would be interested in a post from a page which they never liked themselves.
The post never reached 40, people which was my intended target. I put up a status on my Facebook page thanking everyone on how everyone accepted my friend request and then putting up the story of my app and a link to let them know where to get it from. If you achieved something and you are thanking random strangers for it, people are pleased, which is shown by them liking your status and hence downloading your app. There is no denying that a large portion of people feel happy for you as well and hence like your post.
Usually if you give people credit, and some how justify it i justified it by letting them know that they accepted my friend request people will take the credit even if they had nothing to do with it because it makes them feel important.
Everyone wants to feel important, because it makes them feel better about themselves. Lack of abundance creates an ever longing desire to prove to everyone that you are rich, that you have made it. There is a need of being validated by others because there is no security within. One of the reasons that everyone wants to feel special and they get offended when some one says they are not. One of the reasons why everyone is waiting for that one idea that would change the world to start their own business.
If everyone was special then what would special mean? The way to realize your insecurities, in fact every action you do, every reaction you make, every habit you have, the way you walk, the way you talk to everything you do can be realized by meditating.
I have always felt mediation is way more than a tool to relax. Share Learn more. App downloads. Game downloads. Number of downloads. General Facts About Apps From gaming to social media to e-commerce, mobile apps are becoming more and more important. Gaming is the most popular category on Google Play.

Apps Usage Trends App usage is growing all over the world. Some users tend to open a single app ten times a day. Source: Statista Despite gaming being the most popular app category, smartphone apps statistics show that, as of July , only Source: Statista Since , this figure has hovered in the low 20s. Source: Statista Another indication of the popularity of social networking apps is that users spend more time on them than on any other category of apps.
Source: Statista The app usage statistics are slightly different when a smartphone user is involved in a shopping session. About half of the smartphone users in the US do not download even a single app in a month. Users spend an average of 4.

Source: TechCrunch According to a report from App Annie, smartphone users were spending more time on apps in than in the previous years, when 5 apps were used daily. Source: App Annie There has been a massive change from the big screen to mobile and from broadcast TV to on-demand in the last ten years. Google Play has nearly twice as many app publishers as there are on the Apple App Store Source: Business of Apps The number of publishers in each app store reveals its adoption rate and how attractive and lucrative for app developers a specific store is.
Millennials are three times more likely to be excited about new mobile apps and features than older users. Source: Comscore Mobile app user statistics show that millennials are more comfortable making in-app purchases than they are buying apps.
Mobile app usage is no exception. You probably assumed that younger generations spend more time using mobile apps than people who are older. If so, that assumption was correct. As you can see from the graph, people between the ages of spend about 1 hour and 15 minutes per day using mobile apps.
Even mobile users over the age of 65 spend close to an hour mobile apps every day. Not all mobile usage is created equally. In addition to the differences between operating systems, the usage will also vary by the type of mobile device that people use. People have smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and laptops. You can even access content and apps from smart TVs, watches, smart home devices, and smart vehicles.
But there are certain categories that are dominated with smartphone app usage. These are the top categories that people turn to their smartphones for.
Logically, it makes sense. People need to access maps and GPS services on the go, so a smartphone is obviously the best choice. People have so many ways to buy online, yet they still choose to use smartphones at a high rate.
News and information is another category that jumps out at me. If you recall from earlier, there are twice the number of smartphones worldwide than tablets 2. But tablet usage is starting to catch up with smartphones. People download more apps on their smartphones and use more smartphone apps on a monthly basis. However, tablets outperform smartphones by a hair when it comes to paid apps or subscription purchases via an app.
This could be a category that tablets will continue to control in years to come. While tablets may not be as popular as smartphones, they are used for specific purposes. If you compare this graph to the previous one, you could conclude that a user is more likely to pay for gaming apps that are installed on a tablet. Since tablet screens are larger, the gameplay and user experience will be enhanced.
Like nearly everything else, behavior changes by location. This same concept can be applied to app usage. But other emerging markets like India, Indonesia, and Brazil are all seeing high growth rates as well. As technology advances and becomes increasingly accessible in emerging markets across the globe, the potential for targeting international consumers with an app can be appealing for certain businesses.
In many ways, this graph mirrors what we saw previously. As downloads rise in India, it makes sense that users would spend more time using apps.
There is one thing that remains consistent across the board for each of these countries. The time spent on mobile apps is growing each year.
