Hi,
I've got 3 apps/live wallpapers currently on the market (links listed below in my signature), all with free and donation versions. Between them they have had just under 32,000 downloads in the last four months. They've been rated between 4 and 5 stars with positive feedback.
Can anyone think of a reason why I've only had a couple of dozen sales of the donation versions? (Many thanks if you have bought one )
It can't be lack of visibility or quality as the free versions seem to be quite popular and are getting healthy reviews. The donation versions have extra functionality as a bonus incentive. It's not price - they are as cheap as I can make them!
Am I missing something? I am at a loss. Please can somebody point me in the right direction?
I'm not naieve enough to think I'll make a ton of cash out of it, just enough to even partially justify the effort I've put in would be nice.
Regards,
Paul

Hi,
You can get answers to your questions if you look at Wiki - Product Marketing. It is not simple, but when you start to understand this process, your sales will grow.
Sorry for my English.

Because people want things for free is the simple answer.

Are the free versions ad supported?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am speaking from a position of total ignorance here but, if I were in your shoes, I would totally just remove the free versions...
Or stick ads in the free versions
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
Yep it is very very simple. Free, even with ads people will choose over the paid versions. Even at 99 cents it's enough for people not to purchase.
Plus if your apps make it to pirating sites, there is no point in buying the app. Even my sister can figure out the piracy stuff for android and she cant even install Windows 7.
I will give you my objective experience as a random android user.
I don't think you have done anything wrong. I installed both Dino Pop and Zombie Pop and found myself chuckling and having fun.
I think that it's just something that doesn't fit in the paid app category as much.
I usually pay for apps that I find useful or have promise of future, as of yet unrevealed, entertainment.
I don't know what the limitations of live wallpaper are, but even a simple game needs a) unpredictable change of scenery b) the need for strategy (to entice the mind to test its abilities) c) some kind of final challenge (maybe like a boss zombie or something, to give that sense of accomplishment)
These are just my super honest thoughts, 100% intended to help out.
On a related note, I used to love this arcade game called strikers 1945 plus. I always thought it would be awesome to have a live wallpaper game like that (but obviously not as in depth..it's wallpaper lol)...again, not sure how difficult something like that would be. Just my two cents.
Sent from my Nexus 6 through tears in rain.
My thinking...
Case 1: If I find an app for free that also has a Donate version, without any extra features, I will never pay for it. Period.
Case 2: Usually when there is a free app, that also has a paid version without ads, I will buy it if I use the free version enough to wish it didn't have ads.
Case 3: There is a free app (usually a game) that I use continuously every/every other day and I will see that there is a paid version. The paid version has tons of cool features, options, game levels, etc. If I get a little bored of the free version, and really need something extra, I usually won't hesitate to buy it. (Ex. Noogra Nuts, Navy Wars)
Then there's those apps like FriendCaster and Twitter apps with ads. The paid version of FriendCaster is $5. I won't ever buy it to remove the ads. I won't pay for it simply because they don't get in the way, and I can access Facebook/Twitter in many different ways.
Even the name "Whatever App - DONATE" is just a red flag to users. Basically they might see that, and just not even look at it. They won't even see that there are extra options available. You might be able to get away with changing the name (to 'Pro version' or just without 'Donate') and really push the extra functionality.
Just my thoughts about free/donate/paid versions of apps. Hope it helps
Oh, and I like your LWs, keep up the good work!
I agree and have had a somewhat similar experience. I have bought a live wallpaper before because it had added functionality and got rid of upgrade messages on the homescreen (photolive wallpaper). The free version was good enough for me to try it and see what its like, but still restrictive enough for me to have to buy it. I have also donated to an app called Llama, but this is a special case where I will donate more than the small amount in the android market because I love the app and the dev isn't asking what I am willing to pay.
I would say to restrict the free versions of features and really give people both an incentive and reason to upgrade the product if they like it. If not people will generally make do with what they don't have to buy. I went for 2 years with my first Droid experience without buying a single app, I just used add supported or completely free versions, but now I'm much more inclined to support developers when I find something I like and usually but not in all cases, that I can try first.

Many thanks to all of the inciteful responses. All very inteteresting points.
In a nutshell it appears that I'm basically giving too much for too little. I've withheld going down the adverts route as I'm not a great fan personally - but if that's how the 'many' prefer to go then who am I to disagree!
Does anyone else find it funny that you have to actually annoy Android users into paying for apps?!
Lol - what a world.

The key to money is think "free = demo," "paid = full featured."
If you do that, and people like it, then you will get more money. I play a game, I like it, it's a demo, that person made a sale. They give it away for free, I'm likely to just use it for free and never even visit their "donation page."
It's like the old saying: Why pay for a cow, when you can get the milk at home for free?
Being not married, that doesn't really apply to me, and I don't pay for cows either way

Oh yeah... It should probably also be mentioned that when people pay for something, it usually gives them a license (or so they think) to rate it and comment more harshly, so don't be all shocked if ratings go down when you implement a pay-per-app methodology.

I think you're both right. If you could offer a demo with built in restrictions and then an unlock key. If you can avoid ads and thus the network access permission, which personally I prefer not to see on a live Wallpaper, that would be even better. Then the user has a decent live wallpaper with no strange permissions (for a wallpaper) but something always there to give an incentive to buy it if one likes the developer's work and or the demo product and want to unlock features. This adds value to the product because I would bet less people really care about donating than they would paying to unlock a full version!

I know what you mean. I figured I'd start off with a couple of live wallpapers to 'test the water'. I have a couple of neat ideas for some original games - but am still unsure it'll be worth the effort on this platform (which is a shame as I love writing for Android).

Hey app devs out there,
I just looked for a simple but powerfull calculator via the android market. Found nothing but the "old school" ones.
Yeah, there are tons of calculators out there, one has more abilities than the other. But thats not what I am looking for!
I am WORKING with my windows7 laptop, word2010 and microsoft's math4. Give it a try and you will see why I love this combination that damn much!
I am studying machanical engineering, so I need some features more than others, but the biggest thing is it must be as written on paper, that is what word2010+math4 gives me!
I write the fractions just as I would write them on paper, right after x^4/y^2 and space it is shown to me not in that freaky oldschool style, like excel still does.
So, why not have such an calculator on android? That would give many high mathematic working people a chance to get rid of windows, get an tablet (for me still an GalaxyAce) with android and a powerfull but easy to handle calculator.
As I have no clue about programming, it would take me months just to get the first lines, but this job realy needs enthusiasts to get it the way I mind it.
So, if any of you here knows where to place this request, please help me out. There must be sitting some super brains waiting for another challange, this would be a huge one!

I also came across the same need. It is pretty strange that on google play there is no such scientific calculator app available. I mean, the "natural display" feature would really be usefull, particulary on big screen devices. Anyone knows if such an app has been developer since DaBigFreak opened this thread?

Hahahaha I definitely didn't expect to get a response from a 3 year old thread That's great to hear. You guys were actually part of the reason why we decided to develop this app - I ran into the same problem and was amazed at how there were zero natural display scientific calculators on the store, while the Apple Store had tons. We're continually updating the app at the moment and just added programmable constants! If you could leave a review that would mean a lot to me :fingers-crossed:

Before that, I'd love to see integrals, sum and matrizes. Then you can essentially do anything you want or that could be done.
Next big thing would be to make variables calculating available. Not storing a certain number as A, B, or C, but let the calculator solve an non-number equation to a specific variable.
Right behind that, setting up variables with a value, so you can define A:=5.0, B:=2*A and the equation only has A and B, the calculator gives the results.

All the things you've asked for are being worked on at the moment, but understandably it will be months before they're actually implemented. At the moment we really need traction to increase the visibility of our app, otherwise there's really no incentive for us to continue developing if it's going to be buried underneath thousands of crappy calculator apps on the Play Store That's why reviews and ratings are so important to us. We do take into account the many features that our users request, they'll all sitting in a document, slowly being ticked off one by one
Whenever my automated system finds an Android App Review online it sends an email to the developer telling the link to the review.
Each day I get between 5 - 10 thank you mails from both large app companies and indie developers, which I guess is a good indicator that it's a great tool in order to be able to take advantage of the review in their marketing. (I know how hard it is to be seen with a good app)
The question is, how do I monetize that service?
You have to pardon me if I sound desperate, but I actually am desperate and starting to worry about my ability to provide for my family.
Do you have an idea on how I could either monetize the service, or give it away to someone who can actually afford running it?
There are three main problems with it:
- Donations doesn't work (noone evidently donates anyway, so that went down the drain)
- Advertising, might have worked but there are far too few visitors.
- Most dev's have an invalid email address specified for their account at google play, which makes them not receive the notice from the service,
They can however subscribe for reviews of a certain package name, but how the heck could they when they don't even know the service exists?
I feel so stupid for having these great ideas and realize them, just to later find out that the only thing I've gained is more time away from my kids. I am honestly starting to loose all energy for the creation process of apps, web sites and services, just due to the fact that I can't even reach out enough to make anything out of it. And I can't afford advertising the services/apps/whatever crap I've made. Which even might be an indicator that I should stop trying, but I can't really do that either since I struggle to even afford the food for the month, yeah it's gotten that bad, and I hate sounding this pathetic.
Anyway, the link is in my sig called something like 'Android App Reviews' if you wish to have a look in order to give feedback on my question.
Maybe it's just a bad day 'cause I'm not usually this whiny, but even on a good day, the question stands.
Ah.. whatever. You have a good idea, let me know.
Later
very nice idea, perhaps most of your emails mistakenly get weeded out as SPAM. I have an APP published on Google Play with our company gmail address there, but in more than one ocasion we had people trying to contact us and those emails got to the SPAM folder automaticly by mistake and we never saw them.

Thanks, actually I was very glad myself when I got an email from my own service once, so yeah I think it's a great idea also.
So yes, one problem is, as you mention that most emails probably ends up marked as spam.
The other problem is money, it's running in a very low priced environment and actually doesn't require much juice to run but I can't afford maintaining it if it doesn't generate enough income to even support itself.
I would consider running it for nothing and I could even spend some personal money just for the satisfaction and appreciation, but given the gravity of the current financial situation in my family I can't do that.
So let's just see what happens, and thanks for taking the time to read.
Cheers
have you tried selling it? For about how much would you be willing to sell it? As i said the idea is pretty awesome and you got it pretty much nailed down. Perhaps with a few tweaks to the search algorithm it could be the next Google for Apps!

what do you think something like this could be worth?
Thanks again
Actually i have no idea loool
I would buy it if I had the means.
The value of it probably based on how many views does your site has per day, how many apps does it have categorized, how many it crawls per day... idk.
For example i tried searching it and it seems to have few apps catalogued... my app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rtt3ch.suecaonline) isn't there.
EDIT: About how much do you spend on it a month? If it's not much and you're willing to give it away because can't afford it I wouldn't mind getting it lol, i think i can keep it alive.
If you want to generate income from your site, you have to run your site like a business. The ideas you have in your first post are too linear, especially for a small website with limited exposure (i'm sure you'll know ). Websites and youtube channels grow in exposure and size exponentially. Your site is still in the growth state of a business life cycle (the slowest, most challenging phase of business), so it's best to get as much exposure as possible, which means expanding.
- Try to create some sort of quasi-partnerships with other sites by sharing content or linking to each other. I've noticed you have some links on the side of your site, but try to get in contact with 'bigger names' out there
- Create a youtube channel and start reviewing apps like that. That way you have another avenue of traffic to your site
- Reviews of products may also be an idea.
Hope this helps It's what I can remember from business studies classes >.<
sup MetalDroid, any news?
I'd go with what SammiSaysHello said, you need to run it like a business. Personally I'd make the homepage look more like a professional a sales page and introduce a subscription fee if you want to use it for more then one app. Or even a one time fee for more then one app. I end up logging onto my developer console several times a day so I'd gladly pay a couple bucks a month to have the reviews sent straight to my inbox.. Just my two cents

Well, actually yes. The associated twitter account is growing, and the number of web page visitors is also increasing. Very slowly but I'm still positive about it.

You're right, that seems like a logical next step. I might add a low subscription fee if you wish to use for more than one app,

Hi,
I am the developer of Ultimate Info Watchface for Gear 2.
I am trying to port my Gear 2 watchfaces to Gear S. With some design issues, finally I have a working copy on my Gear S.
But unfortunately (!) , on Gear S, there is a clockface state. According to the design guide, it can either be;
- active state clock
or
- always-on state clock
As my Gear 2 watchfaces don't have this state, when the watch wakes up from blank screen, it shows a simple digital watch instead of my fancy watchface. I couldn't find any information on how to make my watchface always-on. (or creating a always-on state version of my watchface)
Where can I find this information ? Any ideas ?
anybody ?

I've been struggling with this as well. If you find the answer, please be sure to share it here.
Also, are there any custom Tizen events around watch faces? Is there a way to know if the watch has just woken up and started redisplaying the watch face? It's been a long time since I've come across documentation so poor for a platform.
@OpenMind_NL this is the designer who stole your hands!

And I am the developer of the Formula Gear watch widget for Tizen.
I demand that you take your Ultimate Info Watch Square Watchface offline, since you're using the dial and the hands of my Formula Gear design without the necessary permission.
Because you ask money for a product with my design in it, and without my permission, you are legally commiting theft.
I'm not used to discus these matters or warn more than once. Without the proper response (taking offline) I leave my copyright matters to my lawyer, in which the stake will be that you are obliged to pay the attorney fees and pay me for the design on behalf of a to be determined charity.

I checked my private messages and discovered that you asked me for permission to use the Ingersoll design.
I responded that I can only give permission to use my work if I pay Ingersoll for their design because it is not mine.
And now you think you can steal my design because it is not branded??
There's still a lot of work in it (many hours), so you really need to pay if you want to earn money with work that was done by other people!
@OpenMind_NL ,
I don't know what you're talking about. But you should stop this. This thread is not about your childish whinnings.

you really believe you can demand money from me just because you have a similar design with MY watchface ?

I have all the proof that the design is mine... it's al in pre-publication stored original dated photoshop files for each and every element in my designs. That's all my lawyer ever needed to get my unauthorized designs out of the market.
I never asked you to pay me. I only told you that you'll have to pay if you want to use MY designs for payed products.
Using my designs in free products is no problem at all, as long as you mention what I did.
Untill now I only warned you and told you that you'll have to pay when you don't take your payed product offline.
@OpenMind_NL, stop !
I won't warn you again.

ROFL... you watch to many movies....
And by the way.... Your words are legally a threat.
Not that it makes me shiver, but one that's good for a maximum prison sentence of two years.
@OpenMind_NL, oh shut up !
You can't come to my thread and tell me that I am stealing your works. I got these images from some other person and I have his permission. This is the fact and I have proof for this.
Your work is generic. If you keep this lying attitude, I will take all the responsibility of what will happen. But as I said, I have no fear. not from a person or from law...

I live among people without law.
So , yes my words are threat. And you should take them seriously.

YOU should take ME seriously.
People without law do not talk about that in public.... That's what I know out of 30 years of experience.
People who do talk like that are the little kids or those that live more in prisson than in their house.
@OpenMind_NL, stop !

If you got this design from another peron that stole it from my widget, than it is not your fault... But now you know it, you are guilty when you don't remove it.
The design is not generic... You wont find a second one in the world with the same type of markings, fonts and background. The same goes for the hands. All my own designs... created from scratch in Photoshop.
But as I said... I don't discuss these matters. I only tell you once.

Hi everyone,
I have been testing Slidejoy for a month now and I think it deserves to be shared. I know not everyone can stand having ads on their phone, but I really didn't find it intrusive. I tested various other advertisement apps, and this one is my favourite so far.
Here is the concept : The app creates a lockscreen (I deactivated my android lockscreen otherwise I have two) and displays ads on it. You don't have to click or read anything, you just swype to the right and it disappears. By doing that, you gain littles diamonds every day (I made 350 this month) and the next month, they become bankable (100=1$). You can choose to be paid on Paypal but there are others solutions.
Here is a screenshot of the lockscreen (it's in french for me but you can put it in english) :

I hope some of you like the app, I personally am very satisfied with it. Here is a subscribe link if you want to help me get some diamonds getslidejoy.com/r/EVgg8?id=1 :fingers-crossed:
3,50 $ (less than 3 €) for a whole month watching ads... Well, no.

I totally understand that point of view, but I think you should give it a little bit more perspective. When you are browsing on the internet, even though you might use an adblocker, you still see a hell of a lot of sponsored contents, and you see it for free.
Now I know some people love their lockscreen and they wouldn't change it for some bucks. But considering the amount of advertisement everyone of us sees every day, getting 3,5$ a month (42$ a year, that pays two months of mobile communication for me) sounds like a pretty good deal
Love the concept, but prefer battery life over the money.

Well, there's not much to worry about regarding the battery, I did'nt notice any drain and when I check the battery stats, it's never above 3-4%
What could be more annoying is data consumption, and I can't say anything about that because I have a big plan (50Gb LTE), so I never check

Not for me. I would love to see less advertising... All this trash surrounding me everyday. A city for me is a living space not a surface to place ads. Too much ads disrupting the place we live everywhere I don't get anything for, but have to look at this ugly trash anytime. I won't add those ads to those little spaces where I gladly don't get spammed by ads. For just a few cents. Just no.
Still everyone should do how he/she likes but for me personally I find it kinda scary to see people voluntarily exposing themselves to such stimulus satiation (which is even causing serious mental injuries to not only a few people btw.) everywhere they go and look at. It would be much nicer to see more trees than more ads. Ads just make me sick and I'd love to see not one single ad anywhere... These few bucks aren't worth it (one whole year watching these ads isn't even enough for the weekly shopping at the mall once... and you call this a good deal? Really?). A very low price for invading and disrupting your private spaces.
Still, as already mentioned, everyone is free to do what he/she wants...

It says 1000 diamond is a dollar not 100… . pff…
ok, you told us about 3 euro/month. i could appreciate, but consider:
1)more battery drain, so you have to charge your phone few times more, so much more electricity.
2)spam on you phone
3)other app with permissions installed
4)privacy less than before

Hey, yeah indeed but you also earn ten times more now
I don't why they decided to change that, but it's just the same x10

1) The additional drain on your battery should'nt even be noticeable... less than 5%
2) Spam yes, indeed, that' the principle of it all...
3) I did not get shocked with permissions it asked for
4) There's no privacy on an android device ahah
Just a little update regarding the money, I do little surveys sometimes and I happen to make more than 3 euros now, more like 10 per month. I made roughly 50 euros since the beginning of 2016 no regrets!

Nothing wrong with a bit of extra coin I made another $3 this month with zero effort
Possible workaround for this app
So I have also had this app for a while and I see a lot of potential with it. I was wondering if it was possible(via app or some other way) to lock your screen without actually turning off your phone.
Pressing the power button to lock it will turn off or sleep your phone*
So basically if there is a way to press something and go straight to the lockscreen without worrying about it turning off or sleeping.
