Apple Featuring

General (non-technical) Marketing and Monetization

I’m happy that my game BooBoo Pets (https://itunes.apple.com/app/booboo-pets/id597153210?ls=1&mt=8) was featured in “New” section under Kids and Simulation categories.

I’m having an update waiting for review. I wanted to change the Kids category for something else, but decided to leave it like that because of the featuring.

So here are some questions I have:

  1. How much time do apps stay there on avg from your experience?

  2. Does sending updates (newer versions) of the app influence the position on the featured list?

  3. Can you get featured more time?

  4. If you change the category your game is in, can you get featured again (in case the answer to 3 is no)?

Thanks for your suggestions.

I can answer #1 for you:
My game that I launched in the middle of December is currently:Educational > New >
Austria (#1366)
Germany (#1392)Trivia > New >
Austria (#283)
Germany (#310) Over the past few months it seems to have dropped off of most other countries, however it is featured in quite a few ‘Whats Hot’. Interesting to note that in the same amount of time, it has dropped down on the Educational chart much quicker than the Trivia chart.
