I am recently trying to publish my game to android and want to know the experience of other developers recently'm trying to publish my game to android and want to know the experience of other developers about software in this platform.
My application is free, how many downloads do you usually have you? I hope to reach at least 100 downloads a day, is very optimistic? pessimistic? realistic? What do you think? . It is a casual game category. Nothing fancy but very good description is similar to avoid the dots template GS, I did to try and is ad-free. Another question, what pondríais on Amazon? (for the issue of increasing downloads)

100 downloads a day can be easy - but it depends on which store you're targeting. I assume, because you mentioned it in your post, that you're targeting Amazon. The free version of my first game, Penguin Pounce was in the top 500 free games at one point on the Amazon Store. If I remember correctly, it was receiving a couple hundred downloads a day.

It's hard to get paid downloads on Google Play, but free downloads in another story. You can easily get 10k downloads in one month on Google Play - it depends on the quality of your game.

Hope this information helps.

@Braydon_SFX AWESOME!!!! I want publish in amazon store and play store, I don't know if Revmob will be available in Amazon, I think that yes because is the same android app. The graphics of the game is very good (style angry birds / 2D vector) I was reading about ASO in App Store and I think that yes. Thank you very much

@Braydon_SFX Can I be your fan?

Braydon_SFX

@aitor010 - just know that it's different with every app. It really depends on what kind of app and how much marketing you've done. I'd recommend posting about your game on android game forums a few days before it goes live.

is a game like avoit the dots but with great graphics (well, 2D vector), how can I promote my app without websites or paid campaign? Can I do a trailer? Or put the keyword in the tittle? or a great description? which is the best way?

Ah @Braydon_SFX what is better Play Store or Amazon Play Store for free fames? or both?

Braydon_SFX

Id say the Play Store is better. You'll get more downloads, but may not get high in the ranks because there is so much junk on the play store. It's hard to get noticed when there are so many apps.

On the Amazon Store, you may not get as many downloads but will get higher in the ranks.

Depends on the game really
My word game - Beat That Word averages around 50 downloads a day. It's not a great game, doesnt have many features etc.

My Santa game, the one I put time and effort into, as a paid game, didn't do well at all. However, during the 2 free promo weeks I ran, making the app free, it clocked up over 200 downloads a day

With google play, downloads are much lower but my latest game, Santa vs the Zombies has already beaten my Christmas game and it has only been online for a week.

Both are free on google play right now and FYI, my word game is doing better on Kindle than Google play.
