Hello Everyone, This is probably my first post to xda developers. I'm not sure, if this thread reaches to anybody.
Anyway, I'll just place this here.
We are tiny group of developers, on our free time, we developed an news aggregator platform wenewsify.com
The app is already available in the play store. Find the We Newsify - News Platform on play store.
I just wanted to check, if you guys have any feedback. There are a lot of news readers worldwide. Although play store said they would market developer's applications by taking 15-30% of the revenue, I'm finding that, it might not be that much true. If we use google ads to promote, we get significant installs, however organic reach is not that good.
Would guys please check the app? We're here to improve the experience.

Hey everybody,
I’ve made significant improvements on the tip calculator app I developed. My app is ad-free and requires no permissions. Why did I do this? Because it feels good to provide users with a free app, a clean interface, and an excellent user experience. I developed this because I personally needed a tip calculator that wouldn’t spam me with ads, would provide a customizable solution, and has with a clean and stylish interface. I believe I fulfilled all these important aspects, but I would appreciate any feedback you could provide to me by giving my app a rating or review. Please tell me what you think, thank you!
As a new user I can't post download links, but you can find it by typing "fast tip calculator" into the google play store.
A little more about myself, I’m an individual developer and a senior in high school who develops apps for personal, educational, and business uses. I am completely self taught and have never taken any programming class. I have big plans for future apps and will be applying to colleges soon in pursuit of a Computer Science degree. Thank you for your support.
Thanks Dev for making us the Ad Free App.
Here is the Play Store link for people who is interest.

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.

Update new version
Hi, everyone! I have an app that is currently in alpha, English and Android 4.3+ only.
TLDR: I built a social media platform for gamers to review games, find others to play with via LFG (Looking For Group), review the players they play with (5 star system), create clans, interact with one-another publicly or privately, and more.
Screenshots can be found here: imgur. com/a/1XY9wSB I apologize this isn't the greatest avenue of mobile screenshots...
Reason:
As a gamer, finding good players to team with is ridiculously hard. Finding others that own and use mics and want to work as a team? Almost impossible. What if you could find new players that weren't totally random, and were able to vet them before playing together? What if you could create a community of like-minded gamers and form a clan?
About me:
I'm a single developer, doing my best to learn and grow. You can find me on the app by searching "@brendan_abbott_1" or "PipingHotGatorade".
About the app:
I've worked hard to bring this to the table, but I understand it isn't perfect. It clearly isn't polished, but I've spent a lot of time building best-practices for security and reliability.
The future:
Plain and simple; It will ALWAYS remain free to my users, but there will be small ads I implement myself.
If you're interested in giving it a shot, the link for download is on my website for direct download as I'm not on Google Play yet. I'm very open to discussing issues, as I know there will be some.
