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!

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!

Hey everyone,
I’m Chris, anxiety sufferer out here in San Francisco. I have dealt with anxiety most of my life, and for me, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was the way out of the woods.
Pacifica is an iOS/Android app I built for anxiety (in consultation with a Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychiatry at the Stanford School of Medicine). It consists of daily activities rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, wellness, and relaxation techniques.
It's our first week. Discussion/feedback greatly appreciated.
You can download the Android app at:
thinkpacifica (dot) com
Nice, well done!
Sorry i am not using google services, how can i get apk?
Thanks! Will reply back in a couple weeks.
Here you go for those unable to get access to Google Play Services - Here is a download link to the APK of the latest version ... Enjoy

Oh...this is very interesting piece of work...seriously - while at first glance it may look like set of truisms, GUI and way of interacting with this software makes me wonder....this may be helpful.
btw, beautiful site you have there..
What made me sad - registering is not leading to full, erm, service...i still need to buy something, right?
Sigh, i lost my job, sorry I have no money...
Anyway, good luck.
Hey Guys,
Using unity and C# I made my first game over the course of the past 3 months - "Block Hopp", which I think can get really popular due to its addictive style like most of Ketchapp's games.
Do you guys mind telling me what you think about my game and helping me spread it? Feel free to ask me any questions at all.
You can look up "Block Hopp" on Google Play or on the iOS App Store
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.topgengames.blockhopp
Thanks a lot for everybody's time.

So no web site? Not really social media then is it?
Hey @rmiles7721
at the moment its only a Beta available only for Android. Most users nowadays use a app more than a classic website. We just want to concentrate on one platform at the beginning. If this app turns out to be useful for people and they want to use it, then we will implement other platforms as well.
