Selling your wares on the Android platform is what some would call “a waste of time” and to be honest I would be very tempted to agree with them. Android App Development, Apps and Games, Game and App Development, Marketing Amazon App Store, Android app sales, Android download figures, android market, Android sales 2011, appia, getjar, mobango, slideme 4 Comments We are going to leave our products on Amazon for a while longer to see how the new Kindle Fire performs, if things don’t pick up then we will remove our products and withdraw support for Amazon. Amazon need to figure what the word “support” means in the phrase “developer support”. Marketing support is none existent, despite contacting them on numerous occasions for free app of the day feature / promotions we were simply been ignored. Its also a little sad to see how awful GetJar are performing, although they do seem to be picking up some traction with our downloads tripling since last month.Īnd well the Amazon app store, they are probably the biggest disappointment of 2011 for Android. Discover-ability is the worst of all app stores we have our products on, we had to drill down a number of categories and hundreds of other apps just to find our “New” apps. if they had any sense they would go the way of Appia and aggregate the content, they are sat on top of a potential gold mine. I think Google need to pull their socks up. It is a little sad to see that the official “Android App Store” is actually the 3rd best performing market on the list. If you don’t know who Appia are then they are a content aggregator that aggregates content to stores like Handango and Pocketergear, I think its safe to say that there are only 3 stores that matter, which include Appia, SlideMe and Android Market. GetJar – 724 downloads (in contrast one of our very old J2ME mobile game DEMOS has been downloaded 3.759 times in the same period, making GetJar very much still a Java ME app store).1Mobile – Removed as 1Mobile no longer show download stats.Here are our previous download figures from 6th November 2011: GetJar – 2015 downloads (picking up some good traction now). Here are our latest download totals as of 11th December 2011 per Android App Store: I’ve decided that I’m going to start running monthly updates on our sales / downloads figures for one of our Android product Funky Cam 3D.
