    Hello there!

    Someone recently experimented with sending Game Center Challenges from within the game? Any boost in downloads with this new feature? It looks for me like a good tool to increase the user base, since the challenges can be sent to all friends, no matter if they have the game installed or not.

    I wasnt aware of this new tool , obviously since i am not a developer.But it looks like a good feature and can indirectly boost sales.The way I understand it lets say i want to challenge X for a game , he will get it without having the game installed on game centre and to beat you he will get the app whether its freemium or paid , either way it will help.And hey if some how X feels like if he gets an IAP he can easily beat my challenge then again , the developer is benefited .Well thats if the challengers are that big of a serious gamers but it can help in other ways too that I don't realise at the moment.

    Obviously since i am not a dev I have no experience of using the new feature , or the old one for that matter , that i could compare and provide my analysis but I hope you get some supportive answer from fellow TA members.Good Luck :)

    I am not quite sure if it is the way it works.
    The challenged person will not get the app for free as far as I know.
    But would be an interesting concept too. :))
