Quick ASO tip for Android apps

Don’t go with package names like com,app,xyz. Instead, include real, high-volume keywords, Google Play indexes them and it helps boost your ASO. You can find these keywords by typing into Play Store search bar. I’ve used this in multiple apps, and it genuinely works.

Small Paywall Change → Big Sales Boost
I recently updated my paywall and the results have been amazing.

Before:
Some days I got sales, some days I didn’t.
After:
One-Time sales are now coming in daily.

It’s because I added a weekly plan. People do quick comparison and instinctively pick one-time.

Built my first app using React Native!

iOS App – Did pretty well in its first week:
• 99 installs
• 13 weekly trials (some converted, some cancelled)
• 3 yearly subscriptions

Android App – Just went live yesterday.

Do check out the apps, I would love to hear your feedback.

My new app Treezy is doing great in apple boost.

A user first started with the weekly trial and soon after upgraded to the yearly plan. It’s nice to see the app starting to resonate with people.

I really believe the only way to find a good niche is to keep building and experimenting.
Just stay consistent and let the data guide you.

Finally hit $100 MRR with my iOS apps!
It may seem small, but this milestone means a lot, it’s the first step toward something bigger.

Now the next goal is $1,000 MRR

Let’s see where this journey leads.

My app just jumped from position 64 to 9 in 4 days for the main keyword!
Looks like ASO started showing some results.

Someone just bought my app and rated it 5 stars instantly!
This is honestly the best feeling ever!

My Stamp Identifier app performed great during Apple’s initial boost!

The app got off to a strong start:
✅ Around 8 free trials
✅ Some already converted to weekly subscriptions
✅ A few still in trial and expected to convert soon
✅ A few canceled

Asking for reviews on the second app open often resulted in neutral feedback. A simple, friendly follow-up turned many of those into 5 stars and positive reviews.
Engage your users, it works!

Just published another Identifier App on the App Store, approved without a single rejection.

It's always a great feeling when everything goes smoothly through review.

My new iOS app is live on the App Store!

It got approved on the third submission after I added detailed notes in the Review section.

It seems Apple takes review notes seriously, so if you're facing issues, don't overlook that step.

Volume Lock app reached 2K installs on the Play Store!

It started as a small idea to help users lock their volume settings and seeing it grow and help more people every day is incredibly rewarding.

Just finished setting up the backend for my AIWrapper(iOS app) using Python + FastAPI, and I’m impressed by how smooth the process was!

FastAPI made API development fast and hassle-free. It’s now fully deployed on AWS and ready to go.

App is coming soon to the App Store, stay tuned!

Just bought the TryAstro tool for App Store research and ASO.
Now it's time to improve the visibility of my current apps and test new app ideas before building.

I initially set the $0.99 one-time payment for Volume Lock just to make it easy for early users to jump in.
Recently, I increased the price and users are still purchasing it!
It’s just really cool to see people finding value in what I’ve built.
Grateful for the support 🙌

Just launched my first iOS app last week
Got 40–50 downloads/day in the first few days, but now it’s down to 0–5

Looks like Apple gives a initial boost to new apps & after that, it’s all about ASO, reviews, and marketing.

Time to improve keywords, visuals, and push an update to keep things moving.

Happy to finally see reviews showing up on Volume Lock app!

Google doesn’t display reviews right away. It takes some time to assess user engagement and the app’s authenticity. In my case, it took around 4 months before the reviews became visible.
it’s worth the wait.

8 more sales after yesterday’s first sale post.

Now it’s time to bring Volume Lock to iOS, and I’ll begin with the core lock functionality.
Let’s go!

First Sale on My Volume Lock App

I integrated RevenueCat last week with a very minimal onetime unlock price just to try it out, and today, got my first sale.

It’s my first attempt with app subscriptions, and seeing a real user pay for it is a huge motivation to keep going.
