Actually, in the newer versions of Android Market there is not a “New releases” category. I’m afraid is the reason why the most of the apps we release are almost invisibles.
In Android Market is very important to be in a good rank in some kind of searches, i.e. “Apps for kids” or “Free alarm”
I’m still investigating how to improve the rank of this kind of searches, at this time I only know that is very important the reviews of the users, not only the rating, but the text is also.
I.E. if you have a kids game and want to be in a good rank in the Android Marketing in the searches of “Games for kids” you will need a lot of reviews saying:
“Good game for kids” “My kids are always playing with this!” rather than “Good game” or “Good app”
The time your app is avaiable in the market is also important, I think is the reason of the poor number of downloads in the first days…
I’m not an expert at all, just i’ve spended a few days investigating apps in the Android Market, and how the move in the rankings. Hope it helps [import]uid: 131209 topic_id: 22768 reply_id: 91421[/import]
