What I learned from that confirmed what I already believed — you need to sell your app with a story, preferably to people you have built up a relationship with previously to get noticed. The next stage of the experiment was to expand the market size by adding iPad support. Again keeping it really simple exactly the same views were used within a split view.
So this only took about 2 hours, another 30 minutes to create some screenshots and submit the update. Again it made almost no difference to sales, if anything it went backwards. It was time to go free. Wow did things get interesting!
I think the chart says it all. I was floored. It became the 1 fitness iPad app in 68 countries. The 1 fitness iPhone app in 49 countries. And top 10 overall in 12 countries. It even made top 5 overall in countries like Netherlands, here it is on the front page:. In the US where the majority of downloads came from it made the top 25 overall on iPad. It also lead to some amazing reviews tracked thanks to my service Appbot.
One of my work mates came up with a good response. Now I was staring at the stats not knowing what to think. I still have no idea why it has done so well at free. Now came the first part of the blog post, everything that had happened up to this point. And everyone knows the front page of Hacker News is instant success for any product, right? When the downloads began to fall, they kept falling in a very neat curve. I have a love-hate relationship with in app purchases. They are the best way currently to provide a trial, but in my opinion are abused by many developers Kids games are often the worst offenders.
I had many requests to make the workouts a bit more flexible in time and sets, so thought this was the perfect opportunity to add a pro upgrade. Pretty simple, some extra functionality for a few bucks. Something I have seen work well in the past is local App Store description translations. Overall this part of the experiment was a total fail having almost no effect on the number of downloads from any of those countries.
If you get a low volume of feedback you can do this manually, otherwise tools like Appbot automate this entire process. Using this process I identified the most common request was a workout log.
So I added one as part of the IAP:. Flat design has been an interesting one, two major issues repeated themselves consistently, both around what is tap-able. First one is the actual rows being tap-able, which I seemed to solve by adding a little disclosure indicator. But if we look past the early craziness, downloads are still strong and flat, in the vicinity of 2, per day. Note, that all these downloads were achieved by either App Store discovery or word of mouth.
Sales were in steady decline over , which can be seen even more easily with a cumulative graph. I ran each of them for one week and as you can see from the profit charts above it was very flat. Any increase or decrease in price was offset be the number of purchases.
Christmas saw the millionth download and some significant spikes in both sales and downloads. The new year took it to a new level. New year resolutions are definitely a positive for fitness apps. I submitted an update with some extra workouts as in app purchases, an alternative 7 Minute Workout and Pilates workout. By March everyone was over their new years resolutions Unfortunately mine finished on January 1.
Android users have even more from which to choose, with 2. These apps have come to play a huge role in the way we live our lives today. Through them, we can access pretty much the entire Western canon of music and much beyond it too , meet romantic partners, and manage our diaries, documentation, and payments.
Apps have also played a part during the coronavirus pandemic that has shaped , helping to facilitate social distancing and contact tracing for example. The market for these apps is about as big as they come. It is estimated that the global number of smartphone users will rise to 3.
If we looked at it in terms of devices, there are more connected mobile devices in the world 7. Emerging economies are catching up. This guide gives an overview of those changes and how to overcome the timer challenge.
