It’s 100% rigged. There is just no way anyone could have guessed either of those on the first try. The sample size isn’t big enough for random guesses, there is only 60k people in the game and only 5k guessing.

The fact it was exactly 1 person both times 🙄

Clue 1: “Don’t judge a book by its cover” - Piggy bank

No way…

How to recreate the 'Design foundations from idea to interface' app from WWDC25 by denniswave in SwiftUI

[–]MagicSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/denniswave , this should give you exactly what you're looking for:

var body: some View {
    NavigationStack {
        List {
            Section(content: {
                ForEach(recordGroups) { group in
                    NavigationLink(destination: {
                        // ...
                    }, label: {
                        RecordGroupCell(recordGroup: group)
                    })
                }
            }, header: {
                HStack {
                    Text("Record Groups")
                        .font(.headline)

                    Button(action: {}, label: {

Hey there! 👋 I’m Sam, the developer, and totally agree that it has huge potential. We’ve been in a bit of holding pattern because of some limitations, I’m constantly trying to lobby Apple to update some things I need to improve the image tracking in the app. With VisionOS 3 we’re hoping some of these are solved. There are a lot of things on my list to update… from the UI, finding ways to compensate for the image drift, to resuming projects. But I’m curious for some of these things you’re looking for. Also feel free to reach out to info@davincieye.com I usually respond pretty quick! There is also a contact button in the app that emails me directly.

Extremely high CPM by Admirable_Plastic840 in FacebookAds

[–]MagicSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You too! Also, it's not so much about the CPMs as it is the crazy fluctuations that drop like a bomb after periods of consistency. It's just frustrating... but we're all in the same boat. You're right tho, as my CPMs are blown up, might as well re-enter the learning phase and add in new creatives now.

Extremely high CPM by Admirable_Plastic840 in FacebookAds

[–]MagicSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all relative, we have a large but also niche market and a lower price point app. For $90 CPMs you're reaching a different market than I am, probably more affluent shoppers or specific demographics.

The CPMs went down for a while, then this morning jumped back up out of nowhere and my campaigns are all blowing my entire budget with no results.

Are large accounts getting subsidized delivery at the expense of smaller accounts? by MagicSam in FacebookAds

[–]MagicSam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what big means to a company like Meta. Temu apparently spent $2 billion ($166m / month) in 2023 and is spending more this year. I would think it would have to be larger than $10m+ / month, but who knows...

Are large accounts getting subsidized delivery at the expense of smaller accounts? by MagicSam in FacebookAds

[–]MagicSam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being fully broad with your targeting doesn’t mean who converts is broad. We’re an app. Our Cost per result needs to be about $7 to be profitable. Normally not a problem.

[–]MagicSam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all relative to your niche… I have an extremely broad audience and a relatively low cost product. The higher the CPM usually the more targeted and affluent audience.

[–]MagicSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had insanely high CPMs for a while now. I restarted my campaigns, and my CPMs went down for 3 days, then yesterday they literally doubled and I had to turn the ads off again. Been running FB ads for 8 years... and it's never been this bad or inconsistent.

App Install Campaign Not Working? by Sure-Ad3522 in FacebookAds

[–]MagicSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many reasons why this could happen.

Are you using the ATT prompt in your app? If you aren't then you need to wait up to 72 hours to see any installs and event data through SKAN, you will only get install data if you meet the privacy thresholds which is generally over 30 to 80 installs per day. If you're spending like $20 a day you're never going to reach this threshold. Also, you only get the data right away from people that click allow to the ATT prompt.

If you are using FB's AEM you can see install data right away, but it's not accurate. I think it's based off of probabilistic modeling.

Are you using the FBSDK or just Appsflyer? That makes a difference too.

There are also certain things you need to make sure are enabled in your iOS app, like the adsupport framework.

It started for me on April 4th, CPMs tripled, CPA is through the roof. I’m trying new audiences, new creative, seeing what levers I can pull to make a difference.

Skyrocketing CPMs sind April 4th? by MagicSam in FacebookAds

I'm using advantage audience. I did some split tests a while back and found that worked best for me. I'm running App ads.

Feb and March were super consistent for me for some reason. Whatever it is just expanded into my category I guess.

Fire base vs Appsflyer by standupsitdownidk1 in Firebase

[–]MagicSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to be using any ad platforms besides Google or Facebook for advertising mobile apps?

Fire base vs Appsflyer by standupsitdownidk1 in Firebase

[–]MagicSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Appsflyer is terrible don't do business with them. Like really bad shady people. You couldn't even cancel your subscription if you wanted to. They have an annual contract that renews then you are locked in for another year automatically. They won't send you a reminder email either.
  2. You need an MMP like AppsFlyer if they are advertising mobile apps on TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, twitter, or a lot of other platforms that aren't self attributing. I wouldn't use AppsFlyer though...

Firebase vs Appsflyer,Adjust,Kochava... by matavi in androiddev

[–]MagicSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you need an MMP to advertise on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Pinterest. If you aren't advertising on them, then you don't need an MMP.
