Great videos Eric , thanks for helping out app/game devs especially indies !

[@Shahrukhhp1]

Your worst doing app has same aquisition report numbers as my best app have

[@blank-vw2sb]

Nice work. Can you make a video on what will happen if I open 5 new Google accounts, Download my app from all those accounts and do 5 star reviews. Will i rank higher?

[@OverpassApps]

Hmmm. I’ve never tried it, so I’m not sure. Sounds like a lot of work for a very small amount of reviews...

[@blank-vw2sb]

But, i think it will start the ball roling.

Nice video, I looked my app store analytics, but I think that main Overview page is not reliable. For one of my apps it shows more App Units than Impressions! BUT when I go into the app and check the app units it show the more trusted number (smaller than on the main page).

so at the moment i am lucky enough to have a reasonably well paid job, i am chanelling some of that into advertsing ( too early in retrospect) its working (i think) and am hitting 5k downloads in the first 6 weeks on the most popular ones, not enough but a reasonable start. When i work out how many are through ads and how many through seach its about 50/50. 100 or so a day each. Am holding at about 50% retention but was more before i advertised. I was wondering when is it time to stop, of course at these low numbers I am spending money and not making yet, but was wondering at what point should i stop or cut down on advertsing. Also any way of knowing what traffic to other apps is generated if you do have a popular one, for example your Ear Agent app, does it drive downloads to other apps you do. All of mine are about teaching English, so was wondering how to drive downloaders to the other similar apps as well. I have links to my website, not a great one as i made it, with download links but is there anything else. Is the developer page in the store better than not having one for example, would love to know your thoughts.

[@MrNettoon]

Hey! Could I know a little more about your revenue numbers? And how much did you spend on advertising and what is your CPI?

[@RedRed-uo6gu]

Hey Eric, can you please post a video how to make perfect app description for android app with many keywords which hepl to ASO and help for growing fast in Google play

[@RedRed-uo6gu]

Twinc Apps thanks for your help

[@bastawa]

So I started updating my apps in App Store, and now I'm not sure about keywords. I've had my keywords section like this: "k1,k2,k3,k1 k4," where k1 k4 are 'long keywords' but after watching your video and reading some more about ASO, some sources say you shouldn't use keywords in App keywords section because it's the waste of keyword, so in my example it should just be: "k1,k2,k3,k4" instead of "k1,k2,k3,k1 k4". What do you think? Thanks

[@risehighgames4341]

Hey Eric , I was working on my app it's been 3 months and now I lost my whole app . I was just trying it to save it in cloud and accidentally I delete it . Even I don't have any backup . I know that's a foolish mistake . Can you please make a video on how to save app on bitbucket or github or somewhere else ? I just lost my app . And by the way I am indie app developer

[@rexservice]

Thanks Eric, nice explanation. I feel better about my numbers and my understanding of them. Are you giving the customer more features for the paid version or are you just removing the adverts? I have been thinking I should not have a paid version until I have some added feature to offer.

[@OverpassApps]

Thanks, Douglas. Initially, I was only doing "remove ads" but they don't convert very well. People just complain about the ads. I found that adding additional content worked much better. And, I think about myself too. If I was offered a chance to pay a dollar and remove ads from a TV show, I probably would just put up with the ads and avoid the hassle. But, if they offered an extra 15 minutes, I'd probably pay for that. But, that's just me.

Hi Eric, i found your channel a week ago and im loving it ;) i have one question, i have a game in open beta on the playstore and i added some keywords. On the appannie website when i check my game it doesnt show its ranking. Is it bcz my game is in beta? Thanks again

[@bastawa]

is your app in Production or only Beta? I think if it's only Beta it's not visible in play store (in case of my Beta apps that I haven't move to production)

[@truedreams5187]

Hey Eric , R u an independent developer or do you have a team ? And are active users on app are more important than downloads ?

[@OverpassApps]

I am a developer and I have a team. And it really depends on the type of app. For an information-based app that relies on advertising or frequent payments (like consumable IAP), active users are more important. For a utility with IAP or straight ad sales, downloads are more important. But, it really depends.

[@truedreams5187]

Thanks for the reply and yeah I think you are right
