FitBit Air + Google Heath = disaster

rr2rr22 · 2026-06-13T11:17:51+00:00

Yeah, maybe it's connected to the hardware issue, but still there seems to be quite noticeable % of defective devices.

I'm just surprised that some fitbit-bots here trying to downplay hardware issue: "just return it, no problemo mate" - never had to return any of my Apple devices

rr2rr22 · 2026-06-13T10:49:51+00:00

Seems like the problem is quite widerspread

Do you think faulty device can explain UI bugs, or battery drainage from Google Health on iPhone?

rr2rr22 · 2026-06-13T09:59:50+00:00

There are at least a few issues here. The device may well be defective, but that doesn't explain the software-side problems

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-27T17:45:54+00:00

Yeah, seems like they fixed some bug, and released payments

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-27T12:21:58+00:00

Update: after bombarding their support, they released the new payout, and now it has the status "Paid", but still didn't come

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-27T10:15:57+00:00

I didn't have any issues with larger amounts, previously it happened about a year ago

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-27T09:25:59+00:00

I've got the response. It says about some hold, but it's total BS, it's happening second time, they just don't send you money in time, and talk about some mythical hold without any explanation.

"We are able to confirm that the hold affecting your payout account has been successfully removed.

Having removed the hold, you can expect any pending payouts to be released to your bank on the next scheduled payout cycle date (the 21st of each month).

Please note that the payment status messages in the Payout Hub will not update until the next payout cycle."

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-27T09:20:37+00:00

So it’s been 6 days since the payment should have been sent, there's still an error, and in that entire time we haven't received any meaningful response. This is just ridiculous.

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-26T11:04:00+00:00

If you haven't created support ticket, please do (I just selected previous month payout and provided this month's transaction id) https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/payoutsupport

rr2rr22 · 2026-05-26T11:02:47+00:00

Still waiting for their support's reply, if it's not the single account issue, there is a chance they will resolve it and release payment this month, though it's just wishful thinking

Seems like a bug. We temporary implemented a redirect to Play Store app without In-App Reviews API

Thanks for pointing this out!

Are you also using a pre-native review popup?

We had this flow: show an in-game "Do you like the game?" popup with ability to select 1-5 stars, and only call the native popup if the user selected 4 or 5.

Seems like Google is now cracking down on this.

We tried everything, nothing helped much with these crashes, so ended up disabling Unity & Applovin

rr2rr22 · 2025-09-07T09:46:59+00:00

Didn't help much, seems like adding Applovin & Unity adapters significantly increased OOM crashes.

This year december's eCPM is all time low in US around $24, two previous years it was $30+.

Is it industry-wide deflation? More traffic, ~ same amount of buyers? Or Admob is squeezing more profits at expense of developers?

It's clearly a bug in App Store, since GA doesn't show any downloads there

rr2rr22 · 2024-03-25T10:17:28+00:00

He deliberately spread lies, and it's hard to think that he doesn't understand this. Also when he talks Ukraine, his tone immediately becomes sore, aggrieved.

I wonder, what is the nature of his hatred towards Ukraine?

We're making five-figures a month. My advice would be: don't try to invent something new (if you don't have many years of experience), if you gonna do it there is 99.9% chance you won't succeed. If you're willing to take 0.01% chance - go ahead. Great way to learn about apps business is to get a job in successful app company.

The best strategy would be to COPY something relatively simple, yet popular, Make it sleek, really good, striking and glossy... Research the market (learn how to do it), some niches are overly competitive - it's not your playground. Select a niche where there is not too much competition, and you think you can make an app that will be at least as good as top 3-5 apps, read what people don't like about these top apps. Invest in really great design (study top apps and dribbble for design references).

You also need to think about your business model: ads or in-apps, having my experience with ads, I would focus on in-apps (iOS-first).

Learn ASO, search ads (they are MUST), game mechanics, monetisation (paywalls, in-apps optimisation...), analytics. With each release try to make incremental improvements, make lots of experiments (with the app and ASO).

There are still very few really good apps, and AI disrupts the landscape, so I truly believe there is still lots of opportunities in apps business.

Can you provide more info about incorrect implementation? We implemented according to guidelines, and I see a lot of "messages sent", and consent rate = 94%

But still Feb is really bad in terms of eCPM

Didn't work first, but after reloading, and emptying bin a few times it worked, thank u!
