Ask HN: Low quality app installs killed my game's momentum. Will you look at it?

1 pointsby chuinardalmost 11 years ago
I used AppBrain to market my Android app. They charged somewhere between 40 and 60 cents per install. The app was rising up in the Play Store for the keyword I&#x27;m targeting - &#x27;live blackjack&#x27; - but once I stopped using AppBrain, it dropped back to an invisible #28.<p>A lot of these AppBrain installs are uninstalling it faster than they installed it. I know this kills any game&#x27;s search engine position, because Google tracks retention &#x2F; uninstall rates. Now, my install rate has flatlined, and my uninstall rate is looking like a hockey stick.<p>If you&#x27;d be willing to install my game and give it a try and maybe a review in the Play Store, that&#x27;d be incredibly helpful. I spent months building it all myself and hate to see it get dropped in the rankings like this.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.twansoftware.chuslivecasino&amp;hl=en
