I think the key to growing a single app is to focus obsessively on 1 or 2 metrics at a time Make every design design focus on increasing those metrics For me: I'm focusing on sessions per active device As I add new gameplay mechanics and features I'll assess the impact by…

Make every design design focus on increasing those metrics

I think the answer is ads (for now) Like it or not Which ads? Seems to be ASA and Meta ads? Been researching ASA and will soon dive into meta ads

I’ve been wondering this myself: - There’s little or no boost now - Download surges from AppAdvice may get your account terminated - Searching the app’s exact name on the store doesn’t place it first a lot of the time anymore which hurts conversion from TikTok etc, especially…



The barrier to entry is getting harder for new builders Honestly: what is the answer?

Honestly: what is the answer?

While walking around Singapore I was surprised at how many Android phones were being used 5 to 1 easy In Australia it’s the opposite (more iPhones). Similar in uk and US (but admittedly I was in Silicon Valley the whole time)

without the USA the app industry wouldn't exist

Some of these sites automatically add your app when it goes free. Featuring you unknowingly In these cases I think Apple shouldn’t hold the developer at fault

I actually received this warning when my app went free, even though it wasn't being promoted anywhere yet. I believe an algorithm detects sudden increase in price with followed by discount and then automatically sends this email.

I’ve had many developers dm me termination warnings after making their app free to be featured on those “gone free” sites All completely unaware they broke any rule This video is a PSA to all. Vidur was brave enough to tell his story. Hopefully we can shed some light on this…

Got featured on @adamlyttleapps's YT channel - probably not for the right reasons. I hope indie devs find this video (and my story) insightful if thinking about running a 'free-for-a-day' campaign. youtube.com/watch?v=Q-vEnH…

I was honoured to be a guest judge for Shipaton this year Try to think about any other company who does more for the indie community than RevenueCat… you just can’t Being invited to help, contribute to their good work and also support my fellow indie devs was a dream come…


Confirmed working in Australia Maybe it’s fixed?!?

Cool! When I type my brand name into the App Store search, my app comes up FIRST!!!. Did Apple fix the discoverability problem? Also, is this a launch boost???

Just look to our industry to see future impact of AI on any sector: We embraced AI in software and it has empowered developers exponentially. Good. It had the unintended consequence of spamming the app store with low quality apps. Meaning the app store has become less…

When AI apps are just as good as normal apps, I wonder what that will do to the App Store and how it will impact millions of app developers currently making software for a living.. fun times

When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to YouTube and how it will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living.. scary times.



First look at the gumball machine animation This will gives the user a reward at each level progression Next: I need to create the animation for all the gumballs to be spinning inside


This is the ultimate pursuit of coding as an art form and creative expression Reading this has given me great inspiration

In 2012 I made a mobile game. It failed at first, and then got to 600,000 downloads. The game reached spot 2 in the US app store, right after Angry Birds Space. And then I decided to go against all logic... We made the game free and it exploded. What most companies do in that…

Removed my latest video It was the 3 steps I made to rank PIANORUN But in hindsight I think I oversimplified the process a bit too much In my attempt to aim for a mainstream youtube audience I missed the crucial element: No optimisation strategy in the world will work if…
