Ok is 400 downloads of my app per day normal? The first day I got over 400 downloads, and again today I got around 400 downloads. Not exactly of course; but it was around 400 average.

I was expecting like 5 or 6 at most to be honest. Should I expect this number to fall? I heard the first day your app comes out you'll usually get a lot; but I've never heard an exact number... Tshirtbooth probably would be the best one to answer this post ha or firemaplegames

    You should state whether you are polling free apps or pay apps.

    Free apps tend to be downloaded quite a bit more than pay apps...even for great apps.

    Also, pay apps tend to have to ramp up a bit as the popularity grows (although the same is true for a good free app just at much larger levels).

    I think most GS folks' free apps tend to be in the hundreds. Their pay apps tend to be a handful or two before any sort of popularity sets in if it is good.

    Oh sorry mines free so I guess that is about average...

    Free apps always generate many more downloads than paid :) Usually the first day on a free app could average about 1,000 then it drops from there depending on the game

    Could you post the link to your app?

    what are you doing to get so many downloads a day? Even as free I only get about 34 per day. What am I doing wrong... thanks for any tips.

    What kind of keywords, Mr T?
  • sonicfiresonicfire Member Posts: 10
    Yeah, what are popular keywords ! ^^
  • ChaserChaser Member Posts: 1,453
    I thought apple rejected apps with keywords that didn't match the app. I still get about 40 a day of my free app.

    My game is #6 on Canada App Store (overall free apps).
    I know my game isn't good but I'm getting 13,000 downloads every day(free).
    It's called "DoodleBounce"

    @AGlq8 when was DoodleBounce first released?....cheers
  • aalzankiaalzanki Member Posts: 283
    @ Rob2 It was released 3 or 4 weeks ago, but at first it was paid and it only had 0-3 downloads a day. so I changed it to free the last week.

    My red block remover has been out for 5 months and still gets 1200 downloads a day.

    Just to give you an example.

    Cheers

    Puzzle and action must be pretty competitive!

    I had a game only get around 600-800 daily and it stayed in the top 20 of adventure and family for nearly a month with those numbers.

    I think ill hold off on making a puzzle game lol

    @RH

  • Rob2Rob2 Member Posts: 2,402
    @ AGIq8 thanks

    In my experience, 400 downloads a day is rather small for free games.
  • sebmacflysebmacfly Member Posts: 1,018
    No way... i can't find where i have to go to know how much time my game is downloaded/day...
    Any help?

    I use appfigures.com, they do have a trail version for 14 days than you have to pay.

    13,000 downloads a DAY!! Holy hot dogs, i would kill for that...just having doodle in your keyword? Hmmm WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!!!!!
  • BeyondtheTechBeyondtheTech Member Posts: 809
    Holy Jeebus, we need to get integrated ads into our games ASAP. I'll put them all for free if I know I can make it back in advertising, and make an ad-free version for $1.99.
