Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my personal experience with Tappx. A program used to drive installs to new apps for free. I made my own game with unity and for weeks I had less than 50 downloads. As soon as I started using tappx, after a couple of weeks I noticed that my app has more than a 1000 downloads. It's a great tool for developers like me and you who wish to promote their app.
Here's the link if you want to try it out: http://www.tappx.com/
Cheers.
what's your app /game name ?

Spotify-like app!!
Some time ago, i found this on the ADC2 and decided to keep the apk. The grooveshark people decided to release it just for premium users but the old one was free and it still works. And it does just great!

*Log in with your account
*Playlist

Dude that is amazing, thanks!
yes scoobmd, it's for android only
Is there a later version of this app that works without VIP? This one FCs a lot on my Droid.
Been Using the app inventor for about 2 days now, its simple and hard at the same time LOL (I have no program. Exp.) But since I fell in love with android I had the Idea of creating an app that would preview my music to all and ultimately get them to purchase my music.I have created such app but it is very much a "WIP" the graphics are super dull and the idea was to have a preview and then buy songs all in one place but I can't wrap my head around the process at the moment.
I'm sharing to all (#1 for shameless advertisement) but #2 to get feedback,advice and ideas from the community.
Enjoy,
(Any negative feedback will be taken as constructive criticism)
P.S. Currently no app inventor app can be published to the market.I promise myself and the market not to create any (soundboard,torch apps) but this is another way of getting my music out and I think its a good way despite the primitive app.
Ok you put time and effort into your games or apps but still cant seem to get downloads. You might even see a game or app similar to yours but for some reason they are charting but your not. There are over 100,000 developers and over a million apps on googleplay. What are they doing that your not?
1) Website- I see a lot of developers that have a single blog page for all their apps. Look at the format of google play and match your website as close as you can to what google play has. Why? Customers are use to a certain format and like things that look familiar . Think like a customer when building a website and put the same effort as you were in programming your apps.
2)Social Networking-Make a twitter and facebook account. Any app release you have or updates post them.You can even interact with customers and get feedback directly from them. Use this as a tool to learn from real people and adjust your game or app based on feedback.
3)Make Niche Apps- There is no way indie developers can match the power of big companies. Rather than try to take on gameloft or EA focus on niche apps. Small apps like car locators or how to cook books. Small apps like these have been know to get more downloads vs making a game going against a bigger company. Small focused apps or simple games with great graphics can draw people to your app.
4)Post in Forums- Post your game or app in several forums. Be careful as many forums are not really indie friendly. Most forums have a section where you can post games or apps away from where regular forum users cant see. Also you might run into jealous developers who have nothing better to do then degrade your game. Post in several forums to bring in users but remember this is only a small part of your marketing efforts. This forums is very developer friendly though.
5)Rate Me Button- In your apps your should have a rate me button and a googleplay button that points to only your apps in google play. You can also have a button to your website to give the customer a more personal touch.
6) Paid vs. Free- I would suggest you make 4 to 5 free apps before making a paid app. Most customers do not want to pay and only enjoy free apps. You can make a paid version but be warned if you make a paid version users might
1) uninstall the free version
2)buy the paid version
3)refund the paid version but keep the apk on thier device
4) Now they have the paid version for free.
I will make another how to market your android apps part 2 soon. Till then good luck with your games and apps.
These are helpful tips seeing as me and a friend just released our first app a month ago, thanks!

Yes, The new app is about to come market. It needs more two days. It is a simple one but nobody might have thought to do that. I think, it would be used by all
hey I'm new to this forum and android app dev in general, I'm a senior in highschool. Anyways me and a friend made a game on the google app store called hyperbounce, and we used the android built in classes for leaderboard but for some reason updating is complete trash, and I mean like players will set scores and days later it will show up. I was wondering if there is any better ways to create a leaderboard, and also is hosting it ourselves a better option? thanks for all the help!
