Hi everyone!
The price display on the app details screen and the price in the checkout process are not the same.
https://screenshots.firefox.com/GNmDqoN1rK6kvAoB/play.google.com
https://screenshots.firefox.com/KC0ozgcgH12eKT8u/play.google.com
The display price is 22,000 VND, which is around ~1$. But the checkout price is 3$ (x3 the amount).
I'm checking other apps with the same price range (22,000 - 25,000 VND) and their checkout price is ~1$, which is matched.
I don't know if this issue belongs to the app or the google play store itself , hope someone here could help me resolved this.

It must be an issue with the PlayStore. Normally the devs indicate the price in $ and it would be converted to your country's currency when you view it. The conversion should be dynamic but in your case, the page may be showing the price based on an older conversion rate. Also, the conversion rate at the moment of purchase would apply. So you may have to take it up with Google.

Thank you for the response. I'll take this issue to the PlayStore support .
Edit: Add the playstore 4rum topic link for future reference.

You could have also indicated here that your issue is resolved by deleting the payment profile in PlayStore and creating a new one.

Hi folks,
Quick question,
There are without a doubt alot of paid apps on the market with over 10,000 downloads.
If this is the case and the app is at a price of £1.00
Does this mean they've made over £10.000?
Thanks,
SWFlyerUK

Not quite no, a google takes 3.40% + £0.20 per sale (which would result in just over 70p per sale going to the dev)
And the market downloads just show amount of times download not the amount of unique sales i.e someone can buy it one and install it on all there devices that have there account linked to it which could result in 2-3 downloads for every unique sale.
So really when you take this into account they have likely made closer to £5,000 if not less
Hi all,
I was investigating different ways to promote my app and I was thinking on appszoom. I thought those reviews were only under payment but I just found out that you can also apply for a free review! However, unders those conditions: "You can also request your review for free and you'll get it published within 60 days"
Has anyone tried a free review with them?
appszoom.com is a very good apps review site
appszoom.com have reviewed two of my apps
* NewsDrift
* Africa Safaris
I really liked the way they did the reviews. You don't have to wait for 60 days. For instance, NewsDrift was reviewed within 48 hours of submitting the app. The reviews were also very well done - I also got to be featured on their home page under Latest Reviews.
I would recommend appszoom any day.
A good way to promote your app/game
I also ad my app/game listed and reviewed by Appzoom.com :
Konbo Monsters
I really think they did a fair review and my game was featured in its Latest Reviews section.
If you want a good way to promote your app, choose the AppZoom.com
Thanks for your answers! Indeed those reviews look pretty professional.
Did any of you use a paid review (specially since you mentioned within 48h) or you took the free option? If so, how much does it cost?
Yes, the reviews are very professional...I did not have to pay anything. Both of my apps were reviewed for free... I was really impressed.

I had used their free review service, and got a quick response.
Also, the review process took shorter than expected and was very well done.
I'd used their service for my Android Game.

Yes, I have tried to submit an app on Appszoom but didn't succed. At last they ask to pay a fixed amount to publish my app review on their website. You should try some other website to publish a free review about your app. You should also consider App store optimization to increase app downloads from app stores.

Hi Richard,
I'm sorry to hear you were unable to submit your app for review. Did you get in touch with the AppsZoom support? [email protected]
I work there and I'm sure they can work something out for you, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get a free review, AppsZoom always offers free reviews unless the app is not available in their testing country, or it is not a free app, but in both cases you can send them an APK or promo code so that they can review it, and you don't have to pay. Sorry if there was any confusion!
Tell me if you notice a big increase of downloads after they've reviewed your apps? Many people told me that it is not worth to buy reviews.

Hi! I just want to clarify that the point of reviews is not to get installs, but to increase visibility. If your app is good, people will install it and in AppsZoom reviewed apps receive 4x more installs than those without reviews. While the reviews are not app promotions, but the benefit of the Premium review is that the app appears in a Premium position in the homepage and for a longer period of time than free reviews. The other benefit of Premium reviews (besides being published within 48 hours) is that the developer approves it before it is published, so if you're not happy with the review you can block it from being published. Hope that helps clarify!

Ok I see what you mean, but at the end I would like to have more active users. I have to pay for review so i can use ROI to do some calculation. I want to earn so if this investment won't make any profits I don't want to pay for it. Review at good App Review Site = Increase Visibility = More Active Users = Higher Revenue. Right? I just want to know what Review Site is worth to pay.
How long did you wait for an answer?
So guys, those of you that used Appszoom, did you notice any increase in sale at all, or just a nice review?
Update from Appszoom
Hi guys!
A quick update since some things have changed at Appszoom. We've redesigned our homepage, added a few new services, and due to really high demand for reviews, we've removed the free review request, but you can still email us (hello at appszoom dot com) about your app and let us know you'd like a free review. We may not always be able to guarantee a review, but we'll do our best to help you!
Keep in mind that there's a big difference between free and Premium Reviews:
Premium Reviews are ready within 2 work days (free reviews take much longer) and you pre-approve the review before it's published (free reviews are published when ready). The Premium Review also gets featured for up to four days in our homepage and in our "more reviews" section.
If I missed something, just ask away! Happy apping guys!

Since Appszoom's SDK also displays banners, it's advisable to remove AdMob SDK if you prefer to use Appszoom's SDK, however it is not mandatory. We recommend you only use one banner provider, since otherwise you could overwhelm your app with banners, which doesn't make for a nice user experience. You can make money from the SDK too - it works through cross promotion, which is a free exchange of banner impressions with other apps, or also through monetization, whereby your app displays paid ads for apps and you receive money when someone installs the app from the ad. They are all interstitial banners, meaning they don't appear permanently in any position. You can manage all the SDK stats from your Appszoom dashboard and it's a very flexible service. You can use both cross promotion and monetization or just one or the other.
Regarding your app in Appszoom - it is linked with Google Play (or the app store, depending on the app) meaning when a user clicks to download they are sent to the corresponding market. Appszoom is an app discovery site and app, driving more installs to the markets.
Hope that helps!

Hello, I just recently signed up to XDA. I have written a simple game called "Tiny Canoe" and I am having a difficult time getting it reviewed or really exposed anywhere. I wrote another app several years ago and back then there were multiple free sites that would review the App for you and you would subsequently get exposure and downloads. Now my inbox is full from companies wanting me to buy their service to review the app. I have no clue which one of these companies to actually trust or which one would be the most cost effective. I am just a single developer, so I don't have the funds or manpower to do a thorough analysis of what the best option may be. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Provide a link for the app or post the apk for members to try... you'll get feedback and if its good enough maybe a mention on the portal or XDATV. Good luck.

Hi. I downloaded it from play store. I must say I liked it. Fun little game. I gave it a review.
But i would recommend. Adding the apk here so people can download it and try it from here..
APK Attached and Google Play link provided
Thanks for the replies! Per your recommendation, attached is the apk for Tiny Canoe.
XDA will not allow me to post the link on this forum because I am new user. It says I can post that info after approximately 10 posts.
Thanks again for the help. It's a very simple and fun game. Hopefully, you will like it too.

First, this not to compete with the original thread - just to make it a bit easier
Anyone interested in being involved in a group buy please post in this thread.
Chips will be USD 22.00 a piece - that already includes inbound shipping. Shipping will be out of the US (Colorado)
Shipping to you, please go to one of the US shippers and figure out yourself how fast you want the shipment .. aka how much do you want to spend in shipping.
US shippers: USPS.com, UPS.com or FedEx.com ... USPS letter 1st class worldwide is the least expensive, normally takes 7-10 days, costs about USD 2.00 - but is not trackable
I will "pull the trigger", close this thread on December 10th. Then enough time is left to get shipment out before Christmas.
To make the group buy work, we need to be at least 10 participants
Oskar
Shipping update:
worldwide shipping can be done by postal service as registered letter - that is full trackable. Total shipping cost $ 20.00

Hi, on second thought, after looking into the SMD work required, please strike me from the list. I am not confident that I can perform the work and I do not know of anyone near me that can do it.
