Our game Flybird has just reached New and Noteworthy in Kids game section. In your exp does this help get a huge sales boost or a small one? If people use Mac more I figure it would , but do they buy on Mac more or actual iphone / ipod . Will this help me land a front page in future or not really?
no it will not.. see post in your other thread.. would not know what apples purpose was when they introduced sub category features, since they are absolutly pointless
? .. sub categorie promotion never did anything for anyone i know including me.. you can't compare that to a "real" feature because its only visible in itunes if you dwelve into the subcategories.. you asked i answered.. and i surely don't need a hug krehol .. cheers edit: lol just saw that even the creators of angry birds are playing your game! wow roy.. way togo.. and they even registered on youtube to just comment on your game.. wow.. impressive..
We were featured in new and noteworthy in the Games category, in 5 countries including US, we had a boost of 30 downloads/day, so yeah, as Mr.Ugly said , they are kind of pointless, we were also featured in subcategories, but that didn't do anything at all!First page or no page
Wow you been studing my game ranks and comments pretty deeply. I love all the attention . Mr.Ugly can you pleas tell me what game of yours made it to new and noteworthy? Oh you cant , sorry none of your games made it there. Thanks for the comments though , they are so positive!!
Having my own games featured in new and note worthy sub categories a few times now in different countries.... YES IT DOES BOOST SALES. I think it lasts about 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Not just 1 week.
@Yemi - I think you'll find that mr.Ugly has at least one game featured by Apple, so is entitled to his opinion.
Hahaha! Well, to be fair - he's not being mean. It's true that for most games a N&N in subcategories won't mean that much in terms of increased exposure. Possibly more niche categories like music might be a bit useful? As some people will actively be searching for new music apps?
why should i be mean.. sub categorie feature is a generic feature that gives you nearly no exposure at all.. because the majority of the purchases are made from the devices and not from itunes.. again its a fact that any app with a few sales get a subcategory feature.. a real feature will have big sales spikes like this krehol if you want to play the ignorant shiller, please do so.. you've been banned once from this forum. i just tell you that you should not expect anything from a subcategory feature.. nothing more nothing less.. if you mean thats not reasonable and you think thoose subcategorie features are done by some kind of review team.. well your entitled to your opinion.. anyway good luck with your sales..
I asked a question and you gave an answer. Then I respond , then you respond.Anyway here is the featured in appstore list just click on it to see it larger. Flybird has been featured in 337 spots and new and noteworthy in USA. I praise apple for giving me more of a chance to have good sales. The future loooks bright and Iam happy for it.
Unfortunately it's true. Sub category features mean little. Every game..well almost every game that is released gets to be New and What's Hot in sub category. Also depends on the category you're in. For example in kids and family, if you have 1-2 sales you can jump up 50+ positions, while in arcade or more competitive categories you would not even hit top 1000. But you should still be happy about it. It's better then nothing but nothing compared to the appstore features. It's a start right?
Yes it does seem to have a small impact , hopefully I can get on that front page after the update that was released today!!
What qualifies as a sub-category? Does the overall Games category count as a sub-category? Or are we talking something more like Games-->Arcade? Not that I expect to get featured or anything, just out of curiosity.
