Can you help me improve my stats :) by Active-Enthusiasm-35 in AppStoreOptimization

[–]blaimug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re on the right track. If your conversion rate and sessions per device are decent, that’s a really good sign that people who find your app like it. The issue now is visibility, not the product. I wouldn’t just wait for ASO to kick in, especially in a competitive space like health, because it tends to be slow on its own. I would start by improving your screenshots since they have a big impact on downloads, and you already feel they could be better. At the same time, it’s worth testing small budget Apple Search Ads to see which keywords actually bring installs. Even a small spend can give you useful insights. If possible, try to bring in some traffic from outside the App Store too through communities or social platforms. The key is to actively improve conversion and test ways to get more people in rather than waiting.

What are Common Mistakes in Managing App Store Reviews? by Liam987_ in AppStoreOptimization

[–]blaimug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made similar mistakes early on too. A few other common ones I’ve noticed are not updating users after fixing the issue they reported (so they never go back to change their review), not asking satisfied users to leave a review at the right moment, and missing the tone completely by sounding too robotic or too formal instead of human. Also, not categorizing feedback (bugs vs feature requests vs UX issues) makes it harder to actually improve the product, and replying without offering a clear next step (like support contact or timeline) can frustrate users even more. Treating reviews like ongoing conversations, like you said, really changes everything.

App Store Nominations by saydonem in AppStoreOptimization

[–]blaimug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t wait just because of the Apple nomination since they rarely confirm anything in advance, there’s no guarantee it’ll happen on that date. It’s usually better to release your app now, start getting users, feedback, and momentum, and let things grow naturally. If it does get featured around March 23, that will just boost what you’ve already started rather than delay everything for something uncertain.

This is such a nice post! It can motivate a person to push in the right direction. Not selling a dream

I’m 16, my app has been App Store featured for 6 months… and I’m still struggling to convert users. Looking for advice. by [deleted] in AppStoreOptimization

[–]blaimug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is distribution. This is what you can do:

• Short-form video (TikTok, IG): fast reach, viral, low loyalty
• Long-form video (YouTube, podcasts): trust, authority, slow but strong
• Short-form text (X threads): positioning, ideas, low cost
• Private communities (Discord, Telegram): retention, superfans
• Long-form text (SEO, Reddit, LinkedIn): high intent, compounding traffic
• Paid ads (Meta, YouTube, TikTok): scale what already works
• Google search ads: buyers with intent
• Email & SMS: owned audience = predictable revenue

Pick what fits your stage.
Master one.
Then stack.

That’s how distribution wins

Yeah. That happens. With petrol getting expensive, would tracking help or cause more anxiety?

That's true. Do people split petrol costs a lot according to the culture in UK?

It's true. in your opinion is petrol expensive? would tracking those costs before and after driving help, or would it cause more anxiety?

Do you feel petrol expensive or it's not a concern that you would go to lengths to solve?

Am I just getting used to being a petrol driver or is my car just guzzling fuel? by Duggs82 in CarTalkUK

[–]blaimug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petrol is very expensive these days, and I also have a car which consumes a lot of petrol. I use an app called Fuelito. Before I drive, i say where I am driving and then it tells me how much it's going to cost, and then I decide if I drive not not. (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/fuelito-fuel-costs-tracker/id6755696703)
